Students examine entries in a Bar Hop pumpkin contest, including owl and dragon designs.

The Upper Valley has seen a rise in the number of heroin overdoses in the past few months, and the rise has been partly attributed to a fentanyl–laced batch of heroin being distributed throughout the area.

Fentanyl, an opioid generally used in hospitals as a painkiller, amplifies heroin’s potency when mixed with the drug.

Hartford police decided

to test for a laced substance in heroin after receiving reports of nine overdoses in the past month, two of which resulted in fatalities, Hartford deputy police chief Leonard Roberts said. This number combines reported overdoses from Windsor, Hartford and Canaan.

“Prior to now, we have seen one or two overdoses in the past couple of years, but it was nothing like it is now,” Hartford deputy police chief SEE HEROIN PAGE 2

As midterm elections near, profs consider students’ role B y TIM CONNOR

Historical voting patterns predict generally low levels of participation in midterm elections among young people.

And next Tuesday is unlikely to break the trend of low voter turnout, said University of New Hampshire political science professor Andrew Smith. Smith, who directs the UNH Survey Center, attributes the trend to the large number of out-of-state

students attending schools like Dartmouth.

“Very few Dartmouth students are from New Hampshire,” he said. “Theoretically, they could be voting in other states, in their home states, where they probably have a greater awareness of what’s going on and know the candidates more and have maybe more interest or concern because they plan to be moving back to those states.”

Smith said that because turnout tends to be low among students, they are unlikely to significantly affect Election Day. Joseph Bafumi, a Dartmouth government professor who studies campaigns and elections, said that because this year’s state midterm elections are likely to be close, the student vote may matter more than usual.

Civil rights leader Julian Design-your-own floors see Bond talks social activism varied success in first term

B y ERIN LEE

Civil rights leader Julian Bond spoke about social activism and his experience leading protests during the civil rights movement during a talk on Thursday afternoon.

The event, which attracted more than 200 people, was presented in conjunction with “Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties,” an exhibition featured at the Hood Museum of Art until Dec. 14.

Bond, former National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chairman and co-founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, discussed the exhibit’s significance and its portrayal of the “army of anonymous women and men” during a 15-minute talk followed by a question and answer session.

Seven weeks after the first design-yourown living learning communities took up residence across campus, participants report varying levels of engagement with their floormates, with certain floors providing more programming and a stronger sense of community.

Last spring, students pitched floor ideas for the 2014-15 academic year, ranging a from Harry Potter-themed floor known as

“Muggles for Magical Awareness” to a floor on culinary cultural exchange. While the office of residential life originally planned to approve three to four proposals, they approved 10 after receiving more applications than expected, said Katharina Daub, assistant director of residential education for living learning programs and academic initiatives.

DAily debriefing OFFICE HOURS This year’s Navajo Nation presidential election has spurred dispute over a requirement that candidates speak fluent Navajo. One candidate, Chris Deschene, has faced controversy surrounding his proficiency, leading to legal questions. We sat down with Native American studies program chair Bruce Duthu to discuss the place of language in the evolving Navajo Nation and the implications of this debate.

How does the language requirement play into this year’s Navajo Nation presidential election?

BD: The Navajo Nation, like many tribes, uses its constitution and its bylaws to not only establish the requisite leadership structure that it wants but also integrates requirements that will ensure cultural continuity in whatever way works for that community. Navajo Nation has decided that, when it comes to its top-tier leadership, which includes the president, members of the Supreme Court, that those members should not only know about the culture but also be fluent in the Navajo language. The reason for that is that so much of Navajo culture and traditional and customary law is encoded within the language, its their history basically. For an effective leader to be elected by the people, it’s incumbent on the nation to ensure that requirement, because with the loss of language, without fluency in the language, there’s a concern that they will not be able to really articulate, from a cultural standpoint, what are the necessary steps for effective governance in the Navajo Nation. The challenge here is how to assess fluency. What standard is appropriate for the nation to ensure they’re being faithful to this requirement in the interest of cultural continuity, but at the same time do not indirectly close out younger members of the tribe from assuming leadership positions, who may through no fault of their own not be fluent in the language? So it’s an interesting convergence of cultural issues and historical factors, where the Navajo, like most tribes in the U.S., have endured and have successfully withstood pressure from external agents – missionary, federal and state actors – who work actively to stomp out any vestige of indigenous culture, including the language. They are probably the largest tribe, in terms of membership, to still retain their language, but these efforts at eliminating or diminishing the influence of the language have been successful, so they struggle. Even though they have a lot of members who speak the language today, they still struggle in terms of assuring that fluency across the generations. That’s the challenge. [Deschene] is a fairly young candidate, the one who is still working to get onto the ballot, and that’s what I mean by the historical confluence here, he represents that generation that through no fault of his own did not get the kind of access to language retention and fluency. Should that be a disqualifier? It’s not just fulfilling the requirement; it’s understanding the historical context for why there may not be the level of fluency that the tribe wants. A vote or the resolution of this issue will have, I think, deeper implications than just whether this guy gets to be on the ballot or not. It’s almost a moment for the tribe to encounter this historical legacy.

How important is this decision for both the Navajo and for the wider Native American community?

BD: I think it’s critical because for both Native societies and the non-Native society, indigenous languages, like many languages, are vehicles for capturing cultural values and norms, and that can apply not just to government structures and standards by which we interrelate in terms of justice and equity — there’s also a tremendous amount of indigenous knowledge about the operation of the natural world. Notions of ecological knowledge, understandings about how the natural world works were often captured in indigenous language. As that language looses its vitality and its qualities, we lose that knowledge that science may or may not be able to replicate, at least not yet. People who have lived in a space for thousands of years have this accumulated body of traditional, ecological knowledge that is at risk, and in some places is already gone, which is a loss to all of society.

Heroin could be laced with fentanyl FROM HEROIN PAGE 1

Braedon Vail said.

Vail added that he suspects that the number of people using heroin has also increased, as it is readily available and cheap in the area.

The higher drug use rate contributes to the number of overdoses that have occurred recently, he said.

The first reported overdose in Hanover occurred over Homecoming weekend, Hanover Town Manager Julia Griffin said, called the overall situation “concerning.”

Griffin noted, however, that she does not think the increase in heroin usage has been a significant problem at Dartmouth.

In June 2013, Safety and Security notified campus that tainted heroin, possibly linked to Dartmouth, may have caused the death of an Upper Valley resident. The Associated Press had reported the previous month that some Vermont and New Hampshire towns saw a rise in heroin use.

Lebanon deputy police chief Phillip Roberts said he could recall two overdoses that had been reported to the Lebanon police department. While the town is not experiencing the same spike in reported heroin overdoses as other

places in the Upper Valley, there has been a significant surge in the amount of people using the drug in Lebanon, he said.

Mark Helijas, executive director of the Second Winds Foundation — a community recovery center that aims to provide long-term support for addicts — said he has noticed a pattern among heroin addictions.

“Prior to now, we have seen one or two overdoses in the past couple of years, but it was nothing like it is now.”

- BRAEDON VAIL, HARTFORD DEPUTY POLICE CHIEF People begin by taking prescription painkillers for an injury and, once they discover that the drugs provide a pleasant high, they begin going to the streets to find it. Prescription painkillers are expensive, so many individuals turn to heroin, which is cheaper and provides a

similar high.

Both Helijas and Ed Rajsteter, executive director of Headrest — a residential treatment facility for addicts or those in crisis — called the rise in heroin usage in the area an “epidemic.”

Rajsteter said that Headrest has not been doing anything differently to combat the surge in heroinrelated deaths, as Headrest can only treat individuals who come to the organization voluntarily.

During his 2014 State of the State address, Gov. Peter Shumlin, D-Vt., made combating drug abuse a priority, saying the drug addiction problem in Vermont has become “full-blown heroin crisis.” Along with other facts, he said Vermont has seen a 250 percent increase in the number of individuals receiving heroin treatment since 2000.

Recently, New England has experienced a significant rise in the number of heroin-induced overdoses linked to fentanyl. Specialists believe that drug cartels in Mexico add the opioid to make heroin many times more powerful, the Boston Globe reported in June.

The laced heroin is then shipped to the U.S., where it is sold to addicts who may be unaware of its increased potency.

Floors find ways to finance activities FROM LLC PAGE 1

for their residents, but that there are no formal rules about how often floors must meet for activities.

While Daub originally planned to review the communities after each term — possibly replacing communities that are “fizzling” — communities that have run less programming will continue to exist all year but may not be able to choose new residents. Instead, the housing office will fill vacancies.

Some coordinators have found that the fast-paced, 10-week term kept them too busy to plan many activities for their floors, Daub said.

“They’re not finding enough time to create content for themselves,” she said. “Dartmouth terms move too fast — there’s almost zero opportunity for me to give feedback to coordinators and allow them to make changes before I make a decision.”

On the whole, however, Daub said the program has been a success for participants.

“They’re thriving,” Daub said.

“They love the opportunity to live together and go deeper into a particular topic of interest.”

Most programming has centered on floor meetings and meals with faculty.

Michael Baicker ’17, coordinator for the river conservation floor, said he and his floormates have held a faculty dinner, a river cleanup trip and screening of a documentary about dams.

Baicker said he was pleased with the program so far.

“It’s changing the residential education experience for upperclassmen,” Baicker said. “If Dartmouth wants to refocus on the community, this program is great.”

Funding for design-your-own programming proposals goes through Student Initiated Programs, or SIPS, which is also available to students living on regular floors, Daub said. But

students have also found alternate means of funding events.

Baicker said he financed the river cleanup through his membership with the Ledyard Canoe Club, which covered expenses for trip participants, and received a meal card from Daub for his professor dinner.

His community director estimated an informal yearly SIPS budget of $250, Baicker said, adding that this number might limit the programming he is able to plan with his community.

“I’m planning events that don’t exceed $50,” he said. “If I had $750 for a year, I could do a lot more with that. I knew I would have a budget, but I thought it would be more.”

Daub said she has not heard of projects costing more than $30 to $50, but that if students need more money, she could funnel more to the appropriate community director.

She said that she decided to use SIPS to fund the design-your own communities because the approval structure was already in place. Students can submit proposals online indicating estimated cost and plans for how the money will be spent. These are then approved by the community director.

Baicker added that he had applied for SIPS funding to create shirts for his floor, but that this application was denied because it was not a communitybuilding expense — a decision he disagreed with.

“Unifying the floor through apparel is a bonding activity for people,” he said.

Jennifer Davidson ’15, the student coordinator for the Herbifloor, an ethical eating floor, said her experience with the initiative has not been entirely positive. Programming has largely comprised weekly floor meetings that have not required money, but she said the group faced difficulty in one instance when they tried to secure funding.

“Honestly, I thought we were going to have an actual budget,” Davidson said.

The floor, which occupies only half of New Hampshire Hall’s first floor, has also faced issues with finding space to meet, Davidson said. She added that she had hoped to have a bulletin board and a weekly meeting space. Instead, she usually stakes out the floor’s study lounge on the days her residents plan to meet.

“We don’t really have our own space.” Davidson said. “It’s not really Herbifloor, it’s a few people living together. That’s been a challenge.”

Eileen Diggins ’15, student coordinator for “The Other Reed Hall,” an interdisciplinary education-themed floor, praised the support she has received from Daub in planning events and providing advice.

The group holds weekly floor meetings with presentations from its members on topics like Diwali and salsa dancing.

She said that the program has worked to foster a sense of community in the floor that may be missing from other residential life arrangements for upperclassmen.

We must replace a lack of trust with a working dialogue.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand,” our 16th President Abraham Lincoln said in 1858, an ominous preview of events to come. Right now, Dartmouth is a house divided. A house divided by animosity, a lack of understanding and a nebulous dialogue that stems from an unwillingness to engage with one another. Lately, the prevailing perception on campus is that Greek organizations and administrative committees are engaged in an arms race. It seems as though we are preparing for an inevitable civil war of our own — a war born from a lack of trust. To most it seems like the time for talking has past, but I hope that is not the case. If it is, Dartmouth is already doomed, regardless of any future reforms.

This impending conflict is easily preventable. We need to highlight mechanisms that can rebuild the bridge between vested interests through meaningful action on campus.

Unfortunately, over the past four years I have definitely developed a sense of skepticism — and a perhaps cynical view of the administration. It seems as though administrators are trapped in a cycle of perpetual, and almost purposeful, misunderstanding of the forces at work at Dartmouth. For example, the proposed blanket policy on banning hard alcohol, with its emphasis on addressing the behavior of the Greek community, does not address the reality of high-risk drinking at Dartmouth. Like it or not, the data shows that around 45 percent of transports to Dick’s House or DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center are freshmen, most of whom were pre-gaming in residence halls, and will continue to do so after hard alcohol and the pre-gaming culture is pushed underground.

It’s not that I don’t trust College President Phil Hanlon’s vision or the intentions of “Moving Dartmouth Forward.” I simply do not trust that the steering committee is actually engaging in a meaningful conversation with the student body or considering calls for change that seek recourse in a direction other than diminishing Greek life. My experiences with its members thus far have been far from satisfactory — I get the feeling that these meetings with student

groups are a perfunctory formality. I am not sure they are actually listening, and that state of affairs is simply unsustainable.

Talking behind closed doors needs to stop.

Not only are many students and administrators at cross-purposes, but they now seem to be speaking different languages. Schisms have formed within the student body and alumni. We must re-institute the inherent trust students have for the greater system and for administrators, but we must first fix the information pathway between involved parties. We need to figure out a way to connect the right people to the right information. Administrators should allow more students to have a public role in facilitating the spread of ideas so that we can rebuild a sense of collective trust. They could do this through having more students from diverse backgrounds on the steering committee and by rotating the membership each term. These ideas should also be legitimately accounted for and incorporated into “Moving Dartmouth Forward” assessments, which should be continuously updated on an accessible public forum with public comments — perhaps on a site that is more visible and interactive, like Improve Dartmouth.

When people say “Dartmouth has a problem!” over and over and over again, it’s like waves crashing against a lighthouse — each wave makes little difference on its own, but over time those hundreds of relentless waves wear away the lighthouse’s foundation, its structural integrity. Every time a student, a newspaper article or an administrator asserts that the Greek system has a problem — but offers no real solutions — they are like one of those waves. Incessant, unstoppable, destructive. But the reality is, waves breaking on rocks cannot speak to one another. They certainly can’t speak to the lighthouse. We cannot rebuild a house divided without first fixing the conversations within it. So let us not be ships passing each other in a cold, dark storm of change — all we have to do is light the lantern of constructive dialogue, and together we can sail into the safe port of stability.

Questions touch on voting rights, Ferguson, future of activism FROM BOND PAGE 1

ment – most of those who made the movement were not famous, they were the faceless,” Bond said. “They were the nameless, the marchers with tired feet, the protestors beaten back by fire hoses, the unknown women and men who risked job and home and life. When we celebrate the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as this exhibit does, we celebrate them.”

The exhibit features works of art that represent a decade shaped by race relations and social protest in the U.S. It includes a photo of Bond and other SNCC members taken by Richard Avedon, a photographer who held workshops for the organization’s photographers and campaigned for donations.

Bond said the pictures reflect the fact that many participants in the civil rights movement were college-aged.

“What you see when you see these pictures is young people, that is, people in their 20s, who are standing there,” Bond said. “They look serious and sober, they’re black they’re white, but they’re all young.”

Bond said that many people overestimate the number of participants in the civil rights movement.

“I know there weren’t enough people involved when I was involved

– there are never enough people involved, and I know there aren’t enough people involved today,” he said. “The remedy for this is easy – we need to recruit more people, get more people, draw in more people, convince more people they need to be engaged in this. The movement will grow and grow and grow, and we’ll be in better shape than we’ve ever been.”

During his presentation, Bond encouraged people in the audience to vote on Election Day. Bond visited Dartmouth in 1986 in the midst of a campus protest against the school’s investments in South Africa during apartheid. A group of Dartmouth students destroyed shanties erected on the Green by protesters, sparking outrage across the country.

Bond arrived after the protest to speak during a rally, and said he was proud and excited to be present among the student protestors.

Before he was elected chairman of the NAACP in 1998, Bond served for 20 years in the Georgia House of Representatives and Senate. When he was first elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, representatives voted in 1966 not to seat him after SNCC issued a statement expressing its opposition to the Vietnam War. He filed a lawsuit, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in his favor

MAY NGUYEN/THE DARTMOUTH

Bond spoke to audience members in the Hood about the civil rights movement and encouraged them to vote.

and allowed him to claim his seat.

Bond said he has been at the forefront of social change since he was a student at Morehouse College, and has supported both same-sex marriage and environmental protection.

While on campus, Bond also met with Dartmouth’s NAACP chapter.

Evelynn Ellis, vice president for institutional diversity and equity, said she feels personally connected to Bond because she watched him lead the civil

rights movement from her home state of Alabama.

Audience members asked about President Barack Obama, the Islamic State, Washington, D.C., voting rights and reparations for slavery.

Bond shared a sit-in song and a poem he wrote in response to questions from audience members. Shila Nelson, of Norwich, said she appreciated Bond’s reflections on the power of music during the civil rights movement.

Questions also touched on the future of activism, particularly in the context of the riots in Ferguson, Missouri. Protests erupted in the St. Louis suburb after Darren Wilson, a white police officer, shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in August.

Bond said that though police forces are learning to deal with protests in a more effective manner, there is still room for improvement.

B y BLAZE JOEL The Dartmouth Senior Staff

This weekend is arguably the biggest of the year for Dartmouth athletics, rivaling last spring’s baseball and softball Ivy League Championship Series weekend. Four teams — football, men’s soccer and men’s and women’s cross country — will compete for a chance at Ivy League titles this weekend, while women’s soccer and field hockey look to play their way back into the conversation.

Saturday will be enormous, with 16 of Dartmouth’s 34 varsity teams taking the field. Here are a few of our picks for the weekend.

Football vs. No. 18 Harvard University (3:30 p.m. Saturday) A Harvard-Dartmouth game is always circled on the calendar, but few have been more crucial than this season’s tilt.

16 of the last 17. Last season, the Crimson bested the Big Green 24-21 on a last minute field goal.

Needless to say, this one’s going to be big. Harvard is fresh off a 49-7 thrashing of last season’s co-champion Princeton University and sits at 6-0 on the year. The Big Green is 5-1, with its lone blemish coming at the hands of No. 4 University of New Hampshire.

Both offenses are potent, averaging around 30 points per game. But, the Crimson outgains the Big Green 475-366 yards per game on the season. The defenses will be key, as both teams post incredibly efficient red zone numbers (88.5 percent for Dartmouth and 86.4 percent for Harvard). So far this year, Harvard’s defense has looked phenomenal, giving up only 10.5 points per game, compared to Dartmouth’s 24.8.

This game will be another battle of the quarterbacks. Dalyn Williams ’16 is having a breakout year and is coming off an extra week of rest since he did not play in the 27-7 win over Columbia University. Senior Conner Hempel has been similarly impressive

for the Crimson — in his two games this season, he is 36-44 for 519 yards and five touchdowns. His team has put up over 40 points in both games.

The Big Green needs to play its best game to get the win and control its destiny for the Ivy League title.

PREDICTION: Dartmouth 24-21

This game could have major implications for the final game of the year. The Big Green plays basement dweller Cornell University (1-4-0 Ivy) while the Crimson squares off against Columbia (2-2-1 Ivy). If the Big Green wins, the final Saturday of Ivy play will be interesting.

PREDICTION: Dartmouth 1-0

Women’s soccer vs. Harvard (4:30 p.m. Saturday) The two hottest teams in the Ivy League clash on Saturday at Burnham Field. Both Harvard (9-3-2, 4-0-1 Ivy) and Dartmouth (6-4-4, 2-0-3 Ivy) come in riding three-game winning streaks. The Crimson sits four points ahead of the Big Green, which needs a win to stay alive for the Ivy League Championship.

The Big Green is built on defense, with a solid back line and goaltender in Tatiana Saunders ’15, and has allowed only three goals in Ancient Eight contests this season. Harvard, on the other hand, is an offensive juggernaut, having scored 25 goals this season. Dartmouth has scored 15. Harvard has been equally stingy in conference play, surrendering only four goals. Sophomore Margaret Purce and junior Emily Mosbacher lead the Crimson with six and four goals, respectively. Lucielle Kozlov ’16 and Tasha Wilkins ’15 have five and four of their own.

Men’s soccer vs. Harvard (7 p.m. Saturday) Dartmouth (9-4-1, 3-1-0 Ivy) currently sits two points ahead of Harvard (9-4-1, 2-1-1 Ivy). Although both teams still have three games left, Saturday’s matchup will go a long way to determining the eventual Ivy League champion. If the Big Green wins, it would be five points up on the Crimson and at least two up on the

second place team. With a remaining schedule of middle-of-the-pack Cornell and Brown University, the Big Green could be primed to return to the NCAA postseason for the first time since 2011.

The two teams are evenly matched.

The Crimson has a slight edge in goals at 28-26, but the Big Green has scored more in league (8-5). Defensively, the teams are identical — having given up 17 total and only four in league.

Both teams have also only been shut out once this season — in early season defeats. Harvard has a slight five to four advantage in shut outs.

Expect a high-scoring affair in front of a raucous crowd at Burnham Field. The Big Green will come ready to play.

PREDICTION: Dartmouth 3-2

Big Green to take on Harvard Friday in battle of Ivy titans B y BRETT DRUCKER

The Dartmouth Senior Staff

On Nov. 1, 1997, Dartmouth’s starting quarterback Dalyn Williams ’16 was 3 years old. Days earlier, the five-year-old Florida Marlins defeated the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in an 11-inning classic to win the World Series in seven games.

That Saturday in Hanover was also the last meeting between Harvard and Dartmouth as undefeated football teams, and was the last time the Big Green opened a season 3-0 in the Ivy League. The game ended in a 24-0 Crimson victory and ended Dartmouth’s bid for back-to-back league titles.

This weekend, the two teams will meet on the gridiron of Memorial Field with matching 3-0 league records as the only two remaining undefeated teams in the Ancient Eight, each looking to take control of the chase for the Ivy League title.

Unlike in 1997, this time, it is the Crimson who has seen recent glory, winning seven League championships over the past 16 years including a co-championship shared with Princeton last year. The Crimson has also dominated Dartmouth in recent years, winning all but one of the teams’ clashes since 1996.

The Big Green, on the other hand, is on the upswing just six years removed from a winless season and is looking to

capture the school’s first Ivy title since 1996.

Dartmouth enters the game riding its first four-game winning streak in a season since 2003, after defeating Columbia last weekend in a 27-7 contest that the Big Green controlled from start to finish.

Williams was given the day off against the Lions (0-6, 0-3 Ivy) to rehab an AC sprain, and the team was led by Alex Park ’14.

“I think it was fun to look at the game from a different lens,” Williams said.

“Playing football, you always see the game from your perspective, you see the field like you always see it, it’s repetitive.

It was good to be on the outside and see different little aspects of the game that I can’t see from behind the line of scrimmage.”

Linebacker Will McNamara ’16, who leads the league with 10.8 tackles per game (more than two more per game than the second ranked player,), was named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts at Columbia, which included 11 tackles and a game-sealing interception.

The Crimson comes into the matchup fresh off a 49-7 thrashing of Princeton in New Jersey.

Harvard entered last weekend’s game looking to avenge last season’s triple-overtime loss to the Tigers and did so in dominant style, exploding for

49 points before Princeton first got on the board with 28 seconds remaining in the game.

The Crimson was led by quarterback Conner Hempel, who returned after a four-game absence due to injury and threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns against the Tigers in addition to 52 yards on the ground and two rushing scores.

When faced with the challenge of defending such a prolific attack, the Big Green will have to focus on the details, co-captain and safety Stephen Dazzo ’15 said.

“Making sure you’re in the right spot, doing your job and trusting the guys around you are going to do theirs,” he said. “That’s really what football comes down to, 11 guys acting as one.”

Williams and head coach Buddy Teevens said that the best defense may be a good offense and that the team is focused on maintaining possession to keep the ball out of Harvard’s hands.

“I would say, ‘Stay on the field’, that’s the number one thing,” Williams said.

“We’ve got to come out fast, control the ball and execute.”

Harvard also boasts the Ivy League’s strongest defense, surrendering an average of a paltry 10.5 points per game and leading the league in fewest pass and rush yards allowed per game.

One of the most dangerous threats from the Crimson defense is defensive

end Zack Hodges, whose speed and power rushing from the outside have contributed to his league-leading 5.5 sacks on the season.

“He’s a good player,” Williams said.

“He’s going to dictate how we protect and that’s because of his talent. And it’s necessary to do that because if you’re not doing that, you’re not being smart.”

Last year, the teams met in Cambridge, and the Crimson escaped with a 24-21 victory on a 23-yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the game.

This year, the game serves as another measuring stick for how far the Big Green has come, moving from the league’s cellar to contention at the top, Teevens said.

“You’re never completely satisfied, you’re always looking for more,” Teevens said. “These days the expecta-

tion of success is really there. When you get people in the right frame of mind, good things happen.”

This weekend, days after a 3-2 gem saw the San Francisco Giants defeat the Kansas City Royals in Game 7 of the World Series, history could repeat itself as Harvard and Dartmouth meet again for Ivy League supremacy.

“It’s going to be a great environment, great atmosphere,” Dazzo said. “We’re pumped. The stage is set. This is where we said we wanted to be. We’ve put ourselves in the position to play in this game and now it’s about bringing it all together and getting the ‘W.’” The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial Field and will be broadcast locally on NBC Sports affiliates.

Men’s soccer to face Crimson at home for top spot in Ivy League B y NICK HARRINGTON

In potentially the team’s most important game of the season, men’s soccer takes on Harvard University at Burnham Field Saturday night, looking to make up for last season’s matchup. The teams are the top two in the Ivy League standings, and Dartmouth enters the competition in a much better position than last year.

The Big Green (9-4-1, 3-1 Ivy) is coming off two close wins, a 1-0 (OT) win away at Columbia University last Saturday, and an impressive 1-0 win against Boston College on Tuesday.

The Crimson (9-4-1, 2-1-1 Ivy) has had a more mixed record in recent weeks, dropping its last Ivy League game 3-2 against Princeton University.

Dartmouth fell to Harvard last season 2-1 in Cambridge, in the midst of a difficult streak for the Big Green

when the team dropped seven of eight games.

“We lost the Harvard game last year at their place, so this game should be easy for everybody to get motivated for,” Gabe Stauber ’15 said. “We owe them one and, in doing so, we’ll take a huge step in Ivy League play.”

The Crimson and the Big Green have nearly identical stat lines this year.

Both teams have allowed 17 goals on the year while Harvard has notched just two more goals than Dartmouth in 14 games.

Dartmouth’s two-game winning streak entering Saturday’s game came on the heels of two disappointing losses to Boston University and the University of Pennsylvania.

Though the wins against Columbia and Boston College were important, Stauber said, this game against Harvard will have a very different feel.

“Columbia and BC were completely different games for us. Columbia represented a game where we showed that we could grind out a tough victory against a team that was desperate for a win,” Stauber said. “BC showed that we are about to control games and dominate strong teams from any conference around the country.”

For the Big Green to stand a chance, it will have to take care of business against Harvard on Saturday, Alex Marsh ’17 said.

“If we beat Harvard, we’ll be one step closer to winning the Ivy League Conference, and making the NCAA tournament,” Marsh said.

Harvard and Dartmouth are the top two teams in the Ivy League in shots per game, with the Crimson averaging 17.6 and the Big Green in a distant second with 13.9. Both teams should generate a number of scoring

opportunities, particularly since the teams are tied for fourth in the Ivy League in goals allowed, giving up 1.21 goals per game.

Stauber noted that the game will come down to finishing chances at the net.

After a disappointing 2013 season, James Hickok ’17 said the Harvard game is particularly important for the Big Green’s seniors.

“The seniors are a tight knit group of players that are doing everything they can to finish their careers on a high note,” said Hickock. “With that comes this opportunity this weekend to take down Harvard in a pivotal Ivy League match up with first place up for grabs.”

Dartmouth will look to its highpowered offense, led by points leaders Alex Adelabu ’15, captain Hugh Danilack ’15 and Robin Alnas ’15 to

roar past the Crimson. Adelabu will enter the game on a hot streak after his game-winning goal against the Eagles on Tuesday, breaking a three-game goalless streak for the Big Green star.

Adelabu seems poised to strike against the Crimson, particularly considering Harvard’s goalkeeping difficulties.

Harvard’s goalie, junior Evan Mendez, has the second-worst save percentage in the Ivy League.

On defense, the Big Green will be looking to stop an extremely balanced Crimson attack. Six Harvard players have scored at least three goals this season while none have scored more than four. If Dartmouth looks to hone in on one player to stop, it will likely be 6-foot -inch junior midfielder Tim Schmoll who leads the team with four goals.

The game will kick off at Burnham Field Saturday at 7 p.m.
