| Member Biography | |
|
Myles Lane is perhaps the most prolific scorer in Dartmouth
football history. Years after his graduation he held numerous
Dartmouth scoring records. In 1927, Lane scored five TDs
and 33 points against Temple. That same season he
scored 18 touchdowns and scored 125 points. His point total
led the nation that season. For his career he crossed the goal
line 48 times and scored 307 points. As a sophomore
halfback in 1925, Lane's 102 points for the national champions
ranked second among the country's scoring leaders. The 6-1,
185-pounder was also a hockey player who would capture
All-Intercollegiate honors in that sport. An honors student at
Dartmouth, Lane continued his studies at Boston College Law
School. Later, he played professional hockey for the National
Hockey League New York Rangers and Boston Bruins and
was a member of Boston's 1929 Stanley Cup team. He
became head football coach at Boston University in 1932 and
backfield coach at Harvard a year later. He was a Naval
Commander during World War II and, after his discharge from
the service, entered politics and law in New York. He was
elected to the New York Supreme Court in 1968.
