FOOTBALL
DARTMOUTH 12 — NORWICH 0
Dartmouth opened the football season September 28, on the Alumni Oval, with a 12 to o victory over Norwich University. Although a hard rain precluded fast playing, the work of the College eleven was good enough to show considerable promise.
Dartmouth scored a touchdown and goal in each half. After two unsuccessful attempts at field goals, the College team, aided largely by two excellent forward passes, carried the ball across the visitors' goal-line. In the second half, Dartmouth several times went to the visitors' .15-yard line, only to lose its advantage through penalties. Finally, however, Ruxton received the ball on a forward pass, and crossed the line.

DARTMOUTH O — VERMONT 0
Dartmouth met the University of Vermont on the Oval Wednesday, October 2; and in a game in which the visitors had a slight advantage of Dartmouth, neither team scored.
Vermont received the ball on the kick-off, and immediately made long gains on end runs. The visitors soon tried the forward pass unsuccessfully, however, and after several exchanges of punts Dartmouth took the ball to Vermont's 30-yard line, where Captain Glaze was preparing to try a goal from the field just as the whistle blew. In the second half Captain Watkins barely failed in a similar attempt.
The visitors kept the ball in Dartmouth's territory most of the time, only once allowing Dartmouth to come within striking distance of their goal. Their work was at once more varied and more unified than Dartmouth's. The absence of Lang weakened Dartmouth's defence.

DARTMOUTH 6 — TUFTS 0
Dartmouth defeated Tufts in an interesting game on the Oval, October 5. The score was 6to o, but would perhaps have been higher, had it not been for repeated penalties. Dartmouth made sixteen first downs, while Tufts made its distance only three times.
The College eleven began its attack with enthusiasm, and after six minutes of play, scored the only touchdown of the afternoon. Dartmouth had the better of the contest, however, threatening the Tufts goal-line several times, and twice missing goals from the field by narrow margins.
Despite the fact that Dang, Marks, and Schildmiller were not in the game, Dartmouth showed a strong improvement over its work against Vermont. Ingersoll distinguished himself by his hard plunges on tackle plays. Both teams tried the forward pass, but Dartmouth met with greater success than Tufts. The game also demonstrated that the Dartmouth line had made commendable progress since the Vermont game.

DARTMOUTH 1O — NEW HAMPSHIRE 0
Dartmouth defeated New Hampshire State College 10 to 0 on the Oval Wednesday, October 9. The first touchdown came in the first half, as the immediate result of a blocked punt; and the second, in the second half, after an advance of seventy yards.
The game was slow and uninteresting: it was full of fumbles and poor playing. Although Coach O'Connor utilized his opportunity of trying out several inexperienced men, and although from that view-point the game was satisfactory, the College team seriously felt the loss of Captain Glaze, Lang, and Stuart. The line was very weak on the defense, and far below its usual standard on the offense. The Dartmouth backs received little assistance, so that many promising plays yielded nothing.
Captain Cone of the visiting eleven was the star of the game. He gained, almost at will, through the line. Pishon, who played his first game for Dartmouth, gave great promise. Ingersoll's work was also good.

DARTMOUTH 6 — MASSACHUSETTS 0
Penalties at critical stages of play prevented Dartmouth from 'defeating Massachusetts State College by a greater score than 6 to 0, on the Oval October 12. Dartmouth outclassed the visitors, however, making fifteen first downs while Massachusetts made only one.
The game was a great improvement over the preceding one. The College team played with commendable dash and unity. The work of the line-men was excellent. Again and again they broke up the visitors' plays, often downing the back before he could stir from his tracks. The game also showed that the interference had been strengthened since the New Hampshire game. Marks, Ingersoll, and Stuart often circled the ends, but were unable to make the turns successfully on the slippery field.
After receiving the ball on the kick-off, Dartmouth gained fifty yards on line plays, but lost the ball on a forward pass.' An exchange of punts followed, after which Dartmouth took the ball from the center of the field to the visitors' goal-line. Stuart made the touchdown and Ingersol] kicked the goal.
At the close of the game, Dartmouth had the ball on Massachusetts' 3-yard line.

DARTMOUTH 27 — MAINE 0
The College eleven won a decisive victory over the University of Maine at Portland, October 19, scoring three touchdowns and two goals in the first half, and a goal from placement and a touchdown and goal in the second half.
Dartmouth outplayed Maine throughout the contest, although the Maine team was a fast and well drilled eleven, Dartmouth's superiority in weight, aggressiveness, and general knowledge of the new game resulted in an easy victory. The Hanover eleven gained at will through the line, and successfully tried the forward pass three times and the on-side kick twice. Maine, on the other hand, failed in two forward passes and two on-side kicks. Captain Glaze, Ingersoll and Rich excelled for Dartmouth, while Captain Higgins and Miner did the best work for Maine.
Dartmouth received the kick-off and, with the exception of an exchange of punts, carried the ball straight down the field and across the goal-line in nine minutes of play. Ingersoll made the touchdown, but Glaze failed to kick the goal. Five minutes later Marks scored a second touchdown, and just before the close of the half, Stuart made a third, after each of which Glaze kicked a goal. The score at the end of the half was 17 to 0.
At the beginning of the second half Glaze kicked the ball over the goal, heeled the punt-out on Maine's 44-yard line, and kicked an accurate goal from placement, thereby adding four points to Dartmouth's total. A few minutes later Ingersoll scored another touchdown and Glaze kicked the goal, bringing the final score to twenty-seven.

DARTMOUTH 15 — AMHERST 10
Dartmouth defeated Amherst 15 to 10, in a spectacular game at Amherst, October 26. In the first half, each team scored a touchdown and no goal; and in the second, each made another touchdown, and Dartmouth a field
The score, however, fails to show how decisively Dartmouth outplayed Amherst. Dartmouth kept the ball in Amherst's territory four-fifths of the time, and rushed three hundred yards to Amherst's fifty. The Purple's touchdowns were directly attributable to Dartmouth's failure to handle punts. With this exception Amherst was outclassed, and was able to make only two first downs, while the Hanover eleven was making twenty-one.
The game afforded good exhibitions of new football. Dartmouth's play embraced on-side kicks, forward passes, end runs, and shift plays in abundance. Amherst likewise availed itself of the possibilities of the new game, and constantly presented new formations, which, however, were usually met by Dartmouth's superb defence. Shattuck's punting was a leading factor of Amherst's play,while Captain Glaze, Ingersoll, and Marks excelled for Dartmouth.
Captain Glaze kicked off to Amherst on Amherst's 10-yard line. Amherst failed to gain, and punted. Dartmouth returned the punt, and recovered the ball on a fumble on Amherst's 30-yard line. Ingersoll made twelve yards, Stuart six, and Marks made a first down on Amherst's 7-yard line. Amherst then braced, however, and took the ball on downs on the 4-yard line. After several exchanges of punts, Dartmouth again advanced from its 45-yard line to Amherst's 25-yard line, where a fifteen-yard penalty resulted in losing the ball. Shattuck's punt rolled to Dartmouth's 17-yard line, Dartmouth was penalized fifteen yards for holding, Dartmouth's punt went outside at the 15-yard line, and Amherst scored a touchdown on the third play. Shattuck missed the goal. Score : Amherst 5.
Captain Glaze kicked over the goal-line, and received Amherst's puntout at the center of the field. A series of line plays by Ingersoll and Marks yielded a touchdown in three minutes. Glaze missed the goal. Score : Dartmouth 5, Amherst 5.
Dartmouth then advanced to. Amherst's 12-yard line, only to lose the ball on a fumble; and after receiving Amherst's punt, Glaze failed in an attempt for a field goal.
In the second half, after many punts, Dartmouth advanced to Amherst's 35-yard line, whence Ingersoll tore past Shattuck for Dartmouth's second touchdown. Glaze kicked the goal. Score: Dartmouth II, Amherst 5.
Amherst soon scored its second touchdown, when Stuart missed Shattuck's punt, and Kirby picked up the ball and crossed the goal-line. Shattuck again missed the goal. Score : Dartmouth II, Amherst 10.
During the rest of the game Dartmouth three times advanced to Amherst's 10-yard line, losing the ball once on a fumble and once by a penalty, but finally scoring on Glaze's accurate goal from placement from the 35-yard line. Score : Dartmouth 15, Amherst 10.
