DARTMOUTH 12—HOLY CROSS 0

With Marks, Sherwin, and Ryan out of the lineup, and Captain Tobin and Dingle shifted from their regular positions, Holy Cross was defeated at Alum ni Oval on Saturday, October 30, 12-0. Dartmouth showed a remarkable weaknes in being unable to make gains at critical points of the game, for the contest was far more one-sided than the score would indicate. Although Dartmouth was able to rush the ball in the centre of the field for fifteen or twenty yards with little difficulty, when near the opponents' goal Dartmouth was unable to gain. Four times Dartmouth was held when within, three feet of Holy Cross' goal. Dartmouth was also weak in kicking, for four attempts for field goals were missed by different men.

The game started with Marks, Sherwin and Ryan on the sidelines, the coaches deeming it wise to save them for the two coming games. Captain Tobin was shifted from guard to tackle, and Dingle from centre to guard.

The first touchdown was made by Ingersoll on the fourth play of the game, and it looked as though Dartmouth was going to repeat the performance of 1907 when Holy Cross was defeated 52 to 0.

After this Dartmouth gained easily until the ball was near the opponents' goal, when Ingersoll was forced to punt. The ball exchanged hands again, when Dartmouth secured its possession on its opponents' 50-yard line. Greenwood made ten yards, Dudley eighteen in two attempts, and then Dudley went through right tackle for twenty-two yards, fumbling the ball when within two feet of the goal. Captain Tobin recovered it, however, and secured the touchdown and kicked the goal.

The second half was not marked by as long gains as the first. Several substitutes were in the lineup, Elcock, Smith, Steward, Pishon, Johnson, and Drumrnond entering the game. Three times Holy Cross took a brace when its goal was in danger, and prevented Dartmouth from scoring in this half. Three attempts at field goals by Dartmouth were missed.

Joy played an excellent game at end for Holy Cross, and Dudley, Ingersoll, and Captain Tobin were Dartmouth's stars.

DARTMOUTH 6—PRINCETON 6

Arriving late from a long, disagreeable trip, Dartmouth played Princeton to a tie in a stubbornly fought contest, on Saturday, November 6; the score being 6 to 6.

A wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad in Jersey City forced the Dartmouth team to reach Princeton by the Reading railroad to Trenton Junction, where, alter a brief lunch, trolleys were taken for the ten-mile trip to Princeton. The team arrived long after the time was scheduled for the beginning of the game, and the halves were shortened from two 35minute periods to 30 and 25 minute halves. Even then the latter part of the game was played in darkness, the players being nearly indiscernible to the spectators. Undoubtedly the inconvenience and discomforts of the hard trip were responsible for the loose playing of the Green in the first period.

The honors of the first half must be distinctly awarded the Orange and Black, as its team played the better football and scored its two field goals with considerable ease, Cunningham dropping the ball across the bar for two perfect goals.

In the second half, however, Dartmouth returned with a determination to score that could not be prevented by its opponents. In the first two minutes of the play Lang broke through and blocked a punt. Recovering it, he ran to the 5yard line, from where it was an easy matter to push Marks over for a touchdown. Tobin saved the game by kicking a perfect goal from an almost impossible angle.

In this contest the new style of game received a decided set-back, as Princeton used the forward pass successfully but twice, while Dartmouth was successful but once with this style of play. Dartmouth's onside kicks were misplaced.

The contest showed that neither team was in championship form. At times Princeton showed flashes of old-time brilliancy, when Hart and Sparks looked irresistible in line-plunging. At other times, especially in open formations, Princeton's work was unexcusably bad.

Dartmouth also played in disappointing form, but its faults can be excused when the hard trip that the men had just undergone is taken into consideration. Fumbling was frequent on either side, but Brady's dropping of the first three punts proved costly, as a field goal was the direct outcome of one of them.

Man for man the teams were evenly balanced in strength and ability. In the line Captain Tobin was Dartmouth's bright star, while Waller excelled for Princeton. Lang and Siegling were evenly matched, as were Needham and Baumen, although the former was much more accurate in passing than the latter. The backfields were of about the same calibre, but Marks was by far the best man behind either line. Again he justified his reputation as a star line-plunger. In ends Dartmouth excelled, although Ballin and. Welsh were surer on running down punts. Daly and Bankart were not so easily boxed, however, as were the Tiger ends. The game was hard-fought throughout, the only unfortunate event being Cunningham's banishment from the game for nis rough play.

PLAY IN DETAIL

Waller kicked off to Lang on the 30yard line. Marks gained six yards and Ingersoll punted to Bergen, who fumbled the ball, Captain Tobin recovering it on Princeton's 40-yard line. Ingersoll failed to gain and a forward pass by Brady hit the ground. Ingersoll made an onside kick that went out of bounds, Princeton securing the ball on her 53-yard line. Read failed on an end run around Daly and McCormick punted to Brady, who fumbled. Hart recovering the ball. Two line plays failed and McCormick fell back for a kick, but instead, he made a successful forward pass to Ballin, who was downed on the 15-yard line. Sherwin threw Read for a five-yard loss on an attempted end run and Ingersoll broke up a tandem play. Cunningham fell back to the 30-yard line and made a pretty kick. Score: Princeton 3, Dartmouth 0.

Waller kicked off to Bankart. Marks made twelve around end, and Ingersoll made four around the other side. After an exchange of punts, Princeton took the ball from her 35-yard line fifty-two yards to where Cunningham made his first kick. In the advance, Princeton made two short forward passes, both fumbled, but which were fortunately recovered. Cunningham made another perfect goal from directly in front of the goal posts. Score: Princeton 6, Dartmouth 0.

For the rest of the half, Dartmouth did the better rushing, making three first downs, although not consecutively. The nearest that she came to her opponents' goal was when Dartmouth had the ball on the 33-yard line. Marks made one gain of seventeen yards around end, and Tobin intercepted a forward pass for a gain of twenty yards. Both teams were penalized for incomplete passes. Dartmouth showed her best form at this stage of the game, although it was not long sustained. Sherwin attempted a goal from the field from the 40-yard line, but the kick fell short. Pishon went in for Brady and was instrumental in quickening the offence. Elcock replaced Sherwin, and Smith was substituted for Ingersoll, who twisted an ankle.

The second half opened well for Dartmouth. Captain Tobin kicked to Bergen. McCormack fell back for a punt, but like a flash Lang was through and blocked the ball, recovering it on Princeton's 3yard line. Marks was pushed over for a touchdown and Captain Tobin tied the score by kicking a difficult goal. Score: Princeton 6, Dartmouth 6.

The greater part of this half was played in semi-darkness, and was marked by fierce'playing. Princeton gained more ground than the Green, but when her goal was in danger Dartmouth successfully stopped the-fierce advances of her opponents. Dartmouth became formidable when Sparks fumbled one of Ryan's punts and Dartmouth gained possession of the ball on 3O-yard line. The peculiar open formations of mouth were of little avail, and Marks alone could gain ground, advancing the ball fifteen yards, where Princeton held. The Tigers attempted the forward pass, but the splendid guarding of her opponents by Dartmouth prevented the success of this style of play. Princeton attempted to pull the game out of the fire by kicking another goal. Cunningham had been banished from the game, but, with less than a minute to play, Captain Seigling ordered Bard back for a kick. Bard was on the 48-yard line and his kick fell short. Time was called before the teams could line up again. Summary:

HARVARD 12—DARTMOUTH 3

Worn down in the first half by the fierce onslaught of the best team that the Crimson could produce, Dartmouth was defeated in the second half by relays of fresh men, on Saturday,. November 13, 12 to 3. The entire game was a repetition of last year's Contest, the Dartmouth players being unable to withstand the attack of the Crimson, re-enforced as it was by a wealth of fresh second-string men. The game was witnessed by a banner attendance of 34,000.

The game was no such heartrending contest to lose as was last year's, for although the wearers of the green were a match for the Crimson in the first half, the better team, with more and better substitutes, decisively won the second period. It was unfortunate that the man who had so many times driven back his opponents and staved off defeat should be the man to allow Harvard to get within striking distance of his goal. Blinded by the sun, which came out long enough to turn the tide of battle, Ingersoll dropped a punt which Harvard recov- ered on Dartmouth's 35-yard line Prom there the first score of the game was made.

In spite of his costly fumble Ingersoll was Dartmouth's bright star of the day. In the punting duel of the first half he more than held his own with Minot, and once, from behind his goal line, he kicked over O'Flaherty's head, a kick which for the time being placed his goal well out of danger. Ingersoll gained more ground than any other man on the team, and his running back of punts was sensational. Marks and Tobin also played a star game. Marks was not as successful on the offeijse as he was a year ago, because he did not have effective interference. On the defense he was a tower of strength, often alone stopping the fierce plunges of Minot. Captain Tobin played his usual consistent game, seldom spectacular but always effective.

Bankart and Daly as ends easily outclassed their opponents, and' were a great factor in the punting of the first half by stopping the Crimson backs, often ini their tracks. Brady played a good, consistent game at quarter, showing a vast improvement over any previous performance.

In the first half the were even. Neither team could gain consistently and both played a punting game, the ball alternating between the Green and Crimson territory. The nearest Harvard got to the Dartmouth goal was the 36-yard line.

In the second half the battle turned. P. Withington kicked to Captain Tobin, who gained five yards before he was downed. Marks and Ingersoll made no gain, and Ingersoll kicked to the 35-yard line. Minot failed to gain in two attempts and kicked to Ingersoll, whose fumble was recovered by Browne on Dartmouth's 35-yard line. Harvard advanced steadily, the Green being unable to hold. After a steady succession of gains, Frothingham was pushed over the line, F. Withington kicking goal. Score: Harvard 6, Dartmouth 0.

Captain Tobin kicked off to _ Minot, who ran to the 30-yard line. Leslie made five and Minot punted to Ingersoll on Dartmouth's 40-yard line. Dodge replaced Bankart, and after two failures with a direct and double pass, Dartmouth punted to Frothingham, who was downed by Dodge. Harvard returned the punt, and on a double pass Dodge made an onside kick, which was recovered by Brady on Harvard's 15-yard line. Captain Tobin dropped back for a place kick, but Brady called for a forward pass, which was intercepted, Frothingham making thirty-six yards before he was downed by Dudley. Harvard's advance was stopped on the 11yard line, Ingersoll kicking to O'Flaherty, who ran to the 34-yard line. Harvard made twelve yards in two attempts, but was penalized for holding. Wigglesworth replaced O'Flaherty, and made a successful forward pass to Houston on Dartmouth's 18-yard line. The play was repeated, Houston planting the ball squarely behind the goal posts. Withington kicked goal. Score : Harvard 12, Dartmouth 0.

Captain Tobin kicked to Wigglesworth. Lang made twenty-six yards for Harvard. Sprague punted to Brady on Dartmouth's 30-yard line. Ingersoll made nine yards and a pass made first down. Harvard was penalized for holding, and on a double pass, Dodge made an onside kick to Lewis on Harvard s 15-yard line. Ingersoll failed to gain in two downs and Captain Tobin made a place kick, squarely between the goal posts, thus saving a shut out. After an exchange of punts time was called with the ball in Dartmouth's possession on her own 30-yard line. Score: Harvard 12, Dartmouth 3.
