Dale Dover, a 6-2, 195 pound junior from New York, was elected captain of the 1970-71 Harvard basketball team last week.

In captaincy elections held yesterday afternoon, juniors Mike Cahalan, Pat Coleman and Eddie Atwood were selected to lead Harvard's swimming, wrestling and squash teams, respectively, next winter. This afternoon, both the hockey and skiing teams will choose their captains. The fencing team has decided to wait until after the NCAA championships next weekend.

Scoring Leader

Dover, who averaged 18.6 points per game this winter, led the Crimson basket ball team in scoring for the second consecutive season, and now ranks seventh on Harvard's all-time scoring list.

The top shooter on the squad as well, in terms of percentage, Dover ranked third in rebounding and earned All-Ivy honorable mention. He succeeds Ernie Hardy as captain.

Cahalan, a 6-0, 165 pounder from Dauphin. Pa. is repeating as the swimming captain, after an extremely successful season during which he recorded the top varsity times in both the 50 and 100 free style events, and swam legs on both relays. This winter, he won 14-of-22 dual meet races. including sweeps of both sprints in the Connection, Springfield, Army, Navy and Princeton meets, swimming his season's best in the 50 free, 21.9. in four meets.

Cahalan Sets Seasonal Mark

Last weekend, while placing tenth in the Easterns at Hanover. Cahalan clocked the squad's best seasonal mark in the 100 free. 48.6, placed seventh in the 50 free, and swam first leg on the freestyle relay that placed sixth.

Coleman, who wrestled at 150 most of the season, compiled an impressive 7-1-2 record for the Crimson matmen this winter, and coach John Lee feels that he will be an inspirational leader next season, when Harvard hopes to challenge Penn and Princeton for Ivy honors.

"Even though Pat fared poorly at the Easterns. I still would have sent him to the NCAA championships if he had cared to go." Lee says. "His ability and determination might have been enough to carry him out there."

Coleman ripped a nasal cartilage in the first week of February, and missed two weeks of competition, and even after shifting to the 142-pound level upon his return, he completed the remainder of the season without losing.

A native of Westbury, N.Y., he succeeds Paul Catinella, who competed at 134 and 142, as varsity captain.

Atwood, who succeeds national intercollegiate champion Larry Terrell as squash captain, breezed to an undefeated season this winter at number four, and reached the finals, of the intercollegiate "B" tournament at Princeton before losing to teammate Fernando Gonzalez.

"I'm extremely pleased," coach Jack Barnaby says. "Eddie came through in the really big matches under great pressure. He's one of the greatest team players we've ever had."

Last month, Atwood came from behind to defeat Penn's Jeff Condon, and gave the Crimson the necessary fifth point to retain its national championship. A 6-2, 170-pounder, Atwood is a native of Salt Lake City.
