THE HARVARD GAME

Saturday, November sixteenth, was a memorable day for Dartmouth, for then it was that Dartmouth's football forces, organized and equipped by Coaches O'Connor and Gilman and by Professor Bowler, and led by Captain Glaze, invaded the Harvard Stadium and came out of the struggle victors. Thirty thousand persons, including nearly all the Dartmouth undergradates and thousands of Dartmouth alumni and friends, saw the Handver eleven roll up twenty-two points and prevent the Crimson from scoring any.

Dartmouth's points, all of which were scored in the second half, were due largely to its concentrated attack and to the instinctive ability of every player to follow the ball. If team play, with the fundamentals in every man as its center and source, ever won a game, it did so November sixteenth in the Stadium. The first touchdown was the result of a blocked kick. While Burr was preparing the proper defense, Rich broke through and interrupted it; and Kennedy swooped down upon the ball and crossed the line. The second touchdown was the result of a sensational run by Ingersoll, who intercepted an onside kick and ran sixty-five yards through the entire Crimson team. Then Captain Glaze kicked a field goal, and Tobin scored again after Brusse had blocked another punt. The Hanover team thus took advantage of all Harvard's mistakes. The victory, however, was not "lucky." What Harvard failed to do is a different matter from what Dartmouth actually did do. If Harvard was weak in fundamentals, Dartmouth was strong. The team played the game as it had been coached to play it, and deserves credit for its positive accomplishment. The Dartmouth players, as individuals, were completely equipped; the Dartmouth team, as a unit, was consequently a team of unusual power.

It was team play, then, that brought success to Dartmouth. In this respect, if in no other, Dartmouth completely outshone Harvard. It was inspiring to see the .eleven men throw themselves into every scrimmage, to see them charge together and rally round the man with the ball. Neither defense nor offense left anything to be desired. The former was frequently tested and was not once found wanting. In the first half Dartmouth repulsed three strong attacks near its goal, and in the second half its defense was so reliable that Harvard actually lost more ground than it gained in trying to rush the ball. The brilliant offense, however, was the greatest tribute to Coach O'Connor; in the skillful use of deceiving plays, it constantly revealed the hand of a master. The distinctly up-to-date attack spread across Harvard's whole line, and it found admittance at every point. The opening of the line from end to end. and the quick wing shifts, which were capable of unlimited variation, worked to Harvard's undoing. All the plays, moreover, were well concealed when starting, and strong interference formed almost instantly. Speed, precision, and unity in variety were always evident. It cannot be denied that the team was the most versatile that ever represented Dartmouth, and withal "one of the finest pieces of machinery ever seen on Soldiers' Field."

Of Dartmouth's perfect machine, Captain Glaze was an indispensable part. Playing his final game for the Green, he directed the team with a wonderful amount of speed and discretion, varying the mode of attack enough to perplex the Harvard defense and finally to disorganize it. His accurate goal-kicking played its usual part in the scoring. Glaze left a memory that will endure. In Marks; Ingersoll, and Stuart, Dartmouth had a backfield of unusual ability. Marks proved that he is one of the most aggressive and powerful men that have ever represented Dartmouth behind the line, and Ingersoll played with remarkable speed and accuracy. Stuart, who last year was the best ground-gainer, played an aggressive game, and his substitute, Hawley, gave promise. L. Bankart, halfback last year, proved a good substitute for Marks. The line was likewise strong. Brusse is a very fast player of the new. active type of center, and his work in the Harvard game demonstrated his reliability in every department. Rich, fullback two years ago, developed into a guard of exceptional strength, while Baldwin and Tobin also did fine work in the guard position. Lang played with characteristic power at right tackle, and R. Bankart and Sherwin were reliable at left tackle. DeAngelis and Saxton, substitute ends, were strong enough for first choice men had not the end positions already been admirably filled by Kennedy and Schildmiller. It was in this part of the line that Dartmouth's strength in the Harvard game was per. haps most evident. Wendell, Grant, Burr, and Apollonio were Harvard's strongest men.

A few statistics, deduced from the accompanying charts, are valuable. In the first half Dartmouth gained 225 yards in 31 rushes; Harvard, 56 yards in 15 rushes (Harvard also lost four yards in two rushes). In the second half Dartmouth gained 127 yards in 28 rushes; Harvard, 28 yards in seven rushes (Dartmouth lost two yards, Harvard 34). Total ground gained—Dartmouth, 352 yards in 59 rushes (average six ; Harvard, 84 yards in 22 rushes (average four yards). These figures of course include ground gained on forward passes, but do not include ground gained on onside kicks. Dartmouth used the forward pass successfully in four out of five attempts, for a total gain of 71 yards, while Harvard failed in three attempts, and made only two yards in a fourth. Dartmouth made three onside kicks, and recovered one for a gain of eight yards; Harvard made eight, and recovered one for a gain of 42 yards, and another for five yards, while a third resulted in a 65-yard run and a touchdown for the Green. Dartmouth gained 205 yards running in kicks, including kickoffs and onsides; Harvard, 63. Dartmouth punted 15 times for a total of 535 yards (average 36 yards); Harvard, seven times for 275 yards (average 39 yards). Each team recovered the ball once on a fumbled punt, and Harvard had two punts blocked, each yielding a Dartmouth touchdown.

FIRST HALF

With the Dartmouth and the Harvard thousands thundering encouragement to their teams, and with the Harvard stands adding an enthusiastic cheer for Captain Glaze, Acting Captain Newhall won the toss, and chose to defend the southwest goal. At 2.06 p.m. Glaze kicked off, and immediately Dartmouth was face to face with a serious situation. The ball went forty yards to Newhall, and perfect interference assisted the Harvard runner through the entire Dartmouth team except Glaze, who brought him to the ground on Dartmouth's 42-yard line. Newhall's fine run put Dartmouth on the defense at once. The Dartmouth line was strong in the next two plays, however, and Wendell and Rand actually lost ground in their attempts to advance. Newhall then made an onside kick, which Glaze recovered on his 20-yard line. Marks hit the line for five yards, .Ingersoll made seven around Harvard's right end, Marks added eight through Burr, and Stuart carried the ball to his 50-yard line. In the next scrimmage, however, after making several yards, Marks slipped and dropped the ball, and Rand pounced on it for Harvard.

With this advantageous position, Harvard began a campaign of three invasions of Dartmouth territory which seemed almost certain to win the desired goal, but which fell before a solid defense. After Rand had made two yards through the line, Newhall made an onside kick to Bird. The kick surprised Dartmouth, and the Harvard runner went as far as the 9-yard line before Glaze and Stuart threw him. In two line attacks, directed at Rich and Lang, Apollonio and Wendell made only four yards. With the ball on the 5-yard line, Newhall attempted a forward pass to Bird, but Marks and Ingersoll broke up the play, and Glaze recovered the ball on the 10-yard line.

Dartmouth immediately punted out of the danger zone, Newhall receiving the ball on Dartmouth's 46-yard line, where Schildmiller downed him. After Wendell had made three yards through Baldwin, Apollonio on a fake kick formation broke through for twenty-four yards, putting the ball on the 19-yard line. Harvard's hopes were again buoyed, but were soon to sink again. Wendell made four yards through the line, and. Rand added two around Schildmiller. Newhall then attempted a second forward pass, but Dartmouth's defense was so strong that Bird was boxed, the ball touched the ground, and since the down was the third, another Harvard attack had failed.

For the second time it was Dartmouth's ball in the very shadow of its goal-posts. After Marks had gained five yards and Stuart three, Ingersoll again punted out of danger. The ball went to Wendell on Dartmouth's 45-yard line, but the Dartmouth ends were too aggressive, and before Wendell could catch the ball, he was hurled to the ground ; and Dartmouth was penalized fifteen yards. Wendell made six yards, and Apollonio five, putting the ball on the 19-yard line. The next attack, however, failed to gain, and after losing five yards through offside play, Newhall signalled for another forward pass. The pass was accurate enough, but Marks was speedier than Macdonald and intercepted the ball on the 10-yard line. Thus the third and last of Harvard's attacks yielded nothing.

Dartmouth now began to play with characteristic unity and power. Harvard's strength, on the other hand, collapsed, and throughout the remaining sixty minutes of play, the Crimson eleven accomplished little. Dartmouth began by making five yards through Burr, Ingersoll carrying the ball. Marks then received a direct pass and went around Bird for twenty-four yards, — the first of many flanking movements that surprised the Crimson pickets. The big fullback had a clear field but for Hoar, who made an excellent tackle. Kennedy then duplicated Marks' gain around the opposite end, receiving the ball on a forward pass and running twenty-six yards to Harvard's 45-yard line. Ingersoll failed to gain, but Stuart tore away for fifteen yards around Montgomery, and then added three through Fish. Dartmouth then retreated fifteen yards as the result of a forward pass, in which Bird blocked Schildmiller and the ball hit the ground. The penalty forced Dartmouth to punt. The ball went to Newhall on his 9-yard line, but the Crimson quarter had no chance to advance it, as Schildmiller reached him before he could turn, and tackled him so hard that he was forced to leave the game. Gilder succeeded him.

Harvard lined up on its 8-yard line, and the first play was checked by Kennedy for a two-yard loss. Although Harvard profited five yards by Dartmouth's offside play in the next scrimmage, Burr was called upon to boot the ball out of danger. Glaze caught the ball in the middle of the field and gained five yards. In the very first play Marks shook off man after man and, with remarkable momentum, made thirty-two yards before he was finally stopped. Ingersoll's interference at the beginning of this play was exceptional. Stuart made three yards around Macdonald, but the next charge was fruitless, and Glaze dropped back to the 28-yard line to try a goal from placement. The Dartmouth captain received a perfect pass, but missed the goal by inches.

Burr punted out from his 20-yard line to Schildmiller on Dartmouth's 50-yard line. Then the Crimson line braced a little, and Ingersoll punted to Gilder, who returned seven yards to his 26-yard line. Harvard's attack lacked spirit, and after Wendell had made three yards and Gilder four, Wendell fumbled and Brusse recovered the ball. Again Dartmouth advanced toward the Crimson goal. Ingersoll made five yards through Grant and three around Macdonald, and Marks made a first down on the 25-yard line. Dartmouth was then penalized fifteen yards for holding, but Kennedy received the ball on a forward pass and made seventeen yards. Marks broke through the line, and although tackled by Burr, went fifteen yards to the 8. yard line. In two rushes Marks went to the 3-yard line, but the final attempt, directed at tackle, failed to yield the necessary distance, and Harvard recovered the ball within two yards of the goal-line.

With five minutes left to play, Burr punted out to Stuart on Harvard's 38-yard line, where Wendell recovered the ball. Wendell immediately made an onside kick to Glaze, who advanced to his 45-yard line. Ingersoll gained four yards around Bird, and Marks four through Grant. Then Ingersoll kicked over Gilder's head, and the Harvard quarterback barely saved the ball on his 4-yard line. Glaze received Burr's punt on Harvard's 45-yard line and recovered five yards. On a fake goal formation, Ingersoll failed to gain, and Marks made only two yards, but Schildmiller made seventeen yards on a forward pass. Time was then called, with the ball in Dartmouth's possession on Harvard's 21-yard line, and with the score o to o.

SECOND HALF

The second half, however, was completely Dartmouth's, for the Crimson defense crumbled before the Green's determined attack. The half opened with no change in either lineup. Burr kicked to Glaze, who returned to his 32yard line. After Marks had made five yards through Burr, and Stuart three yards around Macdonald, Ingersoll punted out of bounds at the middle of the field. On a fake kick Wendell gained ten yards. Apollonio and Wendell made three yards apiece through the line, but .an illegal-forward pass on the next down gave the ball to Dartmouth. Marks made five yards around Bird, and Lang went through Fish for two yards. Dartmouth then punted to Gilder on Harvard's 26-yard line. In the next play, which started from a fake kick formation, Kennedy threw Apollonio for a loss of three yards. Burr punted to Glaze on Dartmouth's 40-yard line. Hawley replaced Stuart. In his very first play Hawley gained six yards behind Baldwin. Then Dartmouth was penalized five yards for offside play, and Ingersoll punted to Gilder on Harvard's 20-yard line. Burr attempted to punt, but the Crimson line gave way, and Rich tore through and blocked the kick. Lang, Brusse, and several other Dartmouth men were likewise almost upon Burr. The ball rolled toward Harvard's goal, with Kennedy in close pursuit. No Harvard man was near, and Kennedy scooped.up the ball and crossed the goal-line. Glaze kicked the goal: Score: Dartmouth 6.

Burr's kickoff again went to Glaze, who ran to the 27-yard line. Hawley made two yards and Marks four. Sherwin replaced R. Bankart, and Brown replaced Macdonald. Dartmouth then made an onside kick to Harvard in the middle of the field. In the next scrimmage, Gilder was thrown by Lang for a loss of seven yards, and Wendell made an onside kick which was fumbled by Glaze but recovered by Ingersoll, who beat four Harvard men and made a sensational dive for the ball. After Marks had made five yards, Hawley six yards, and Hawley two more short gains, Ingersoll punted to Gilder, who was thrown for a loss of eight yards by Kennedy. Burr was hurt, but resumed play. Wendell tried Kennedy's end for a four-yard loss, and Burr punted to Glaze on Dartmouth's 41-yard line. Ingersoll and Marks failed to gain, and Rich again punted. Here Harvard showed a flicker of life. Gilder, by clever dodging, ran back nine yards, and Apollonio made six more on a fake kick. Wendell, however, tried an onside kick, which went too high and straight, and fell to Ingersoll on his own 45-yard line. With the whole Harvard team between him and the goal-line, and aided at the start by fine interference by Glaze, Lang, and Kennedy, the fleet halfback swept down the field, throwing off Burr, Grant, and Wendell in midfield, dodging Rand and Gilder near the goal, and crossing the last chalk-mark after a run of sixty-five yards. It was one of the best performances in the game. Glaze kicked the goal. Score: Dartmouth 12.

Tobin and Saxton replaced Baldwin and Schildmiller respectively. Burr kicked off to Lang, who returned to the 27-yard line. After Hawley had failed to gain, Ingersoll kicked onside to Wendell on Dartmouth's 48-yard line. Wendell tried Saxton's end for no gain, and punted to Glaze on Dartmouth's 20-yard line. Hawley made three yards through Fish, and Marks two past Brown. Rich then punted to Wendell on Harvard's 37-yard line. After, a short forward pass, Wendell punted to Glaze, who ran eighteen yards through the Harvard team and placed the ball near the center mark. Saxton made eleven yards on a forward pass, and Hawley six yards on a double pass. Glaze made an onside kick, which was recovered by Marks on Harvard's 30-yard line. Marks then made eleven yards around Bird. Houston made only six yards, however, and Glaze dropped back to the 33-yard line to try a goal from placement. Although the angle was difficult, the ball shot directly over the middle of the cross-bar. Score: Dartmouth 16.

Before the next kickoff, Lockwood replaced Rand. Burr's kickoff went to the goal-line, and Marks returned the ball twenty-seven yards. Hadden . replaced Burr. Hawley lost on an end run, and Rich punted to Grant in midfield. Wendell's onside kick to Brown yielded five yards, but Gilder lost as much on a quarterback run directed at Kennedy's end. Glaze then intercepted Gilder's onside kick and gained five yards. Hawley and Marks failed to accomplish much, and Rich punted; Wendell fumbled the ball, and Brusse recovered it on Harvard's 35-yard line. Marks pounded through tackle for eight yards, Hawley four, and Marks seven. The next attack, however, yielded scarcely a yard, and Dartmouth tried a fake goal. 'lnstead of holding the ball for Glaze to kick, Hawley started to pass it out to Ingersoll, who had edged away from the scrimmage and was ready for a dash down the field. Grant blocked the pass, however, and Pierce gathered the ball and made ten yards; and when about to be tackled, Pierce cleverly passed the ball to Apollonio, who made five more yards before he was downed by Glaze. In the next scrimmage Brusse threw Lockwood for a loss of ten yards. Wendell then tried to punt, but Brusse blocked him, the ball shot wild, and Tobin recovered it, threw off Grant, and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Glaze kicked the goal. Score: Dartmouth 22.

The rest of the story is quickly told. Before the final kickoff, DeAngelis and L. Bankart replaced Kennedy and Marks. Fish kicked off to Glaze, who recovered ten yards, Grant's flying tackle forced him to retire in favor of Nourse. After L. Bankart had made five yards behind Lang, Rich punted to Lockwood on Harvard's 50-yard line. In the next scrimmage Rich plunged through the line and tackled Lockwood for a two-yard loss, and Lang smothered the following play before Gi der could pass the ball. Wendell then kicked onside to Glaze, who gained fifteen yards. A triple pass to Saxton yielded twelve yards. Rich then punted to Gilder on Harvard's 10-yard line, and before the ball could again be put into play, the whistle sounded the end of the game.

Thus Captain Glaze and his men scored a decisive victory over Harvard : thus November sixteenth was surely "Dartmouth's day."
