FOOTBALL

Two weeks before college opened Coach Cavanaugh began the building up of a 1911 Dartmouth football machine. Practice at first twice a day, then daily after classes began, evening chalk talks, signal practices, and rule studies have been kept up steadily. Out of a squad of some sixty, including but seven of last, year's first, string men, the coaches have developed an eleven which bids fair to be well up among the leaders.

Five of the seven "D" men who have returned play in the line. Whit- more is at his old position of guard and Captain Daley is playing his usual strong game at end. Elcock has been shifted from guard to tackle. Barends and Morey, halfbacks, are the only veterans in the backfield.

During practice after the Holy Cross game, Hogsett, who was making good as a halfback, sustained a shoulder injury which has kept him out of the togs since. That he will recover in season for the Princeton contest is the expectation of Doctor Bowler, trainer.

The schedule of games for the remainder of the season is as follows:

October 28—University of Vermont at Hanover.

November 4—Amherst College at Amherst.

November 11—Princeton University at Princeton.

November 18—Harvard University at Cambridge.

DARTMOUTH 18—NORWICH 3

At the end of the first half of the Norwich game . on September 28, the score stood three to three. A field goal from the 30-yard mark by Barends, right tackle, was equalled by another from the same line at the other end of the gridiron. The greater weight of Dartmouth's eleven told in the second half. After another field goal Elcock, left tackle, blocked a punt on the Norwich 5-yard line and a touchdown followed. A recovered onside kick brought the final tally, a second touchdown.

DARTMOUTH 22—MASS. STATE 0

Massachusetts State tried many trick plays on September 30, but was unable to score a single point. Dartmouth did all her scoring in the first half. Three touchdowns were put over by line bucks and end runs, then Estep, right end, fell on the ball behind the Aggies goal for a fourth. Time and again Hogsett, playing at left half for the first time, made gains of over ten yards. Many substitutes were played after the intermission and the Massachusetts men held whenever their goal was threatened.

DARTMOUTH 23—BOWDOIN 0

On a mud-covered rectangle, the Green easily defeated Bowdoin the following Wednesday. Great gains in general form and ability to handle the forward pass were noted.

Three rushes and an end run netted the first touchdown before the game was fairly well begun. Passes to Hogsett covered the final distance for both the second and third touchdowns. Goal was kicked in the first instance but missed in the second. Blocking a Bowdoin punt, Dartmouth received the ball and rushed it down the field for six points more.

DARTMOUTH 12-COLBY 0

Less brilliant work on the part of Dartmouth appeared at the Colby contest, October 9, while the lighter visitors played a speedy and consistent game. Speed could not make up for their light line, however, and Colby failed to score. Dartmouth, thanks to the good work of Barends and of one or two others, carried the ball over twice. Blocking within the 20-yard zone resulted in several penalties for the Green.

Early in the second period, Hogsett received a punt on the 50-yard line and helped by good interference, ran it back forty-nine yards. The first touchdown came on the next play. In the second half Colby, having lost the ball by a fumble on her 8-yard mark, could not prevent a touchdown. At the final whistle Dartmouth held the pigskin on the visitors' 2-yard line.

DARTMOUTH 6—HOLY CROSS 0

Since Holy Cross had held Harvard to an 8 to 0 victory on the Saturday previous, Coach Cavanaugh's team expected a hard game on October 14. In the three periods played they were not disappointed, but when the visiting team withdrew at the end of the third, allowing an hour to make a twenty- minute automobile trip to Lebanon to catch their train, both team and spectators were dismayed. Since no agreement had been made, the game was declared a 1 to 0 forfeit. Dartmouth had scored six points

-Not a penalty was inflicted on either side in this well-fought contest. During the first half Holy Cross out-rushed the home team three times over, but could not score. Hogsett dropped a field goal from the 25-yard mark. The ground covered by the opposing elevens in the third quarter, was more nearly equal. After an eight yard plunge by Morey, and eighteen yards made around end by Hogsett, the latter again kicked a field goal. The third period ended with the next kickoff, and the Worcester men left the field.

DARTMOUTH 23—WILLIAMS 5

Too light to gain through the line, Williams, on the following Saturday, scored the first touchdown made on Alumni Oval by a visiting eleven since Holy Cross managed to cross the line in 1903. An onside kick to within a few yards of the Dartmouth goal bounded into the hands of a Williams end, who carried it over. In the preceding play, the Green team had crossed their opponents' goal four times and kicked three goals. Ripping up the Purple line time and again, they rushed the ball two hundred and forty- one yards to Williams' forty.

A fine exhibition of team work was shown in the second half when Dartmouth in fourteen uninterrupted plays, worked their way slowly down the field for the fourth touchdown. Barends, who made the final plunge, played hard and well. Morey, Dunbar, and Barends gained mostly through large holes opened up at left tackle by Elcock, Whitmore, and Farnum.

Captain Daley made the longest run of the afternoon. He dodged down the field after a high punt of Morey's, gathered it on the bound, and sprinted fifty-two yards to the goal posts.

Dartmouth's lineup for the Williams game was as follows:

Daley 1e, Elcock It, Whitmore, Far num 1g, Gibson, Whitmore c, Bennett, Estep rg, Englehorn rt, Dana, Margeson, Hayes re, Barends Ihb, Morey rhb, Dudley fb, Hoban qb.
