FRESHMAN FOOTBALL

A squad of seventy men, including numerous former prep school stars, has furnished abundant material for a freshman football team, and at the same time made difficult the choice of an eleven. George Hoban, ex-'12, halfback on last year's varsity, as coach has succeeded in rounding into form a very creditable machine.

DARTMOUTH '15, 6—WILLISTON 0

The freshmen played like veterans in their first game on the Oval, September 30, with Williston Seminary as opponents. Hardly a man fumbled. Chiefly by well-executed forward passes the visitors succeeded in holding them to a single touchdown. This the freshmen made in the last quarter by an uninterrupted advance of a few yards at a down from their own 38- yard line. Curtis, a graduate of Hebron Academy, made the final plunge over the goal line.

DARTMOUTH '15, 6—EXETER 6

Much ragged play appeared at Exeter the following Saturday. In the first period the academy men had carried the ball half the length of the field, when Schuester, Dartmouth's right half, recovered on a fumble and ran fifty-five yards for a touchdown. Neither team scored again until in the last period Exeter's fullback broke away for an eighty-yard sprint to the goal posts.

DARTMOUTH '15, 23—CUSHING 0

Their second home game the freshmen won without difficulty. They outweighed their opponents from Cushing fifteen pounds to the man. In two very short halves they scored four touchdowns and kicked three goals.

DARTMOUTH '15, 6—WORCESTER 0

A touchdown scored after a fumbled pass from center was the only tally in the game with Worcester Academy at Worcester on October 21. The fumble, which one of the academy backs made when he attempted to punt from his 15-yard line, resulted, as did many another during the contest, from a wet ball. Rain fell throughout the four eight-minute periods. The strong freshman defence allowed Worcester but three first downs on line bucks.

Lineup of freshmen:

Comiskey 1e, Rector It, Burnett lg, Milmore c, Hickox, Kimball rg, Whitney rt, Schuester re, Jones qb, Tuck, Smith, Murdock lhb, Curtis rhb, Rogers fb.
