Too much chinning season and other distractions seriously crippled the freshman football team in its two hardest games. Both first-string ends, two regular backs, and three substitutes were prevented from entering the Andover and Dean games by study conditions.
DARTMOUTH '15, 3—ANDOVER 6
Even with this handicap the firstyear team played a strong game against Andover s fast eleven at the oval on October 28. The academy men were unable to gain through the line but managed to score two field-goals to their opponents' one.
DARTMOUTH '15, O—DEAN 6
The freshmen were less successful in their last out-of-town contest with an undefeated Dean eleven the following Saturday. Twice in possession of the ball on Dean's 1-yard line, they were unable to score a' point to offset two field goals of the home team.
DARTMOUTH '15, 21—HEBRON 0
With all their regulars back in the lineup, Coach Hoban's eleven ended their season by defeating Hebron Academy 21-0. In this last contest on November 11 the freshmen played the finished game only attained after much careful coaching. They were sure of their signals and worked a clever trick pass for long gains.
Just before their Andover game, the freshman team elected L. A. Whitney, a former Worcester Academy man, to act as their captain.
A contention that the barring of freshmen from varsity teams develops a large number of players is borne out by this season's experience. The following men, are likely candidates for next year's college team: Burnett, Curtis, Ghee, Hickox, Milmore, Murdock, Rector, Rogers, Schuster, Tuck, Wayman, Whitney, Winship.
Scores of the earlier games: Dartmouth '15, 6, Williston, 0; Dartmouth '15, 6, Exeter, 6; Dartmouth 15, 23, Cushing, 0; Dartmouth '15, 6, Worcester Academy 0.
