The Big Green and the Wildcats have a fierce rivalry that spans a variety of sports including basketball, football, and hockey. The Big Green and Wildcats first met on the hardwood in 1908 and since then have developed a strong rivalry. The contests between the two teams have been close over the years, and Dartmouth holds a slim 34-33 all-time lead, meaning you’ll be in for a close one when attending a Dartmouth-New Hampshire game.
Dartmouth and Vermont have met on the court over 100 times, and the rivalry has been an annual fixture for the last 55 years. It’s a great time to see a Dartmouth basketball game when the Catamounts come to town, so get your tickets to a Dartmouth-Vermont game.
Dartmouth and Cornell have an intense rivalry on the football field, and there isn’t a lot of love between the two on the court either. If you can only get to one conference game a year at Leede Arena, then make sure to be in attendance when Dartmouth takes on Cornell.

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the College on the hill,
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her.
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though ‘round the girdled Earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains.
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch,
Lest the old traditions fail.
Stand as sister stands by brother.
Dare a deed for the old mother.
Greet the world from the hills with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith.
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them ‘til death.
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them ’til death.

Glory to Dartmouth,
Loyal, we sing.

We’ve got the stuff!
We wear the Dartmouth Green
And that’s enough!

Down where the men in green,
Play on play,
Are fighting like Dartmouth men.

Dartmouth’s in town again!
“As the Backs Go Tearing By”
As the backs go tearing by,
On their way to do or die,
Many sighs and many tears,
Mingle with the Harvard cheers,
As the backs go tearing by.
Making gain on steady gain,
Echo swells the sweet refrain.
Dartmouth’s going to win today!
Dartmouth’s sure to win today,
As the backs go tearing by!
