Scores to date: Dartmouth 26—Bates 0. Dartmouth 41—Norwich 9. Dartmouth 47—M. A. C. 0. Dartmouth 55—Vermont 0. Dartmouth 21—Williams 0. Dartmouth 7-Princeton" 22.

DARTMOUTH 26—BATES 0

After a spectacular 70-yard run around left end, Morey in the second minute of play scored the first touchdown of the season. The rest of the game was marked only by the frequency with which the Green scored.

DARTMOUTH 41—NORWICH 9

During the first three periods of the game Dartmouth scored repeatedly. In the fourth period Norwich seemed to rouse from her lethargy, and succeeded in placing a drop-kick over the bar. A touchdown following a long run around left end soon followed, and the goal was kicked. Fumbling was frequent on both sides.

DARTMOUTH 47 —M. A. C. 0

The game was unique in that all the scoring was done in the first half. Morey and Whitney both exhibited good form.

DARTMOUTH 55—VERMONT 0

Vermont never reached striking distance of Dartmouth's goal line, and realizing from the start the latter's defensive strength, played a kicking game. Whitney in the back field and Barends at right end played a spectacular game, while Llewellyn's running back of punts was commendable.

DARTMOUTH 21—WILLIAMS 0

Williams found Dartmouth's line vulnerable, making gains at times through the tackles. The Williams forward pass was not as well executed as its reputation had warranted. Morey intercepted the first, making a long gain for the Green. In the last period Dartmouth tried a forward pass to Loudon, who tore down the field for a 35-yard gain.

It is impossible to make any reliable forecasts for the success of the football team in the three big games. Large scores have been run up in the preliminary games, but whether this is attributable to the strength of Dartmouth or to the weakness of her opponents, is a matter to be decided only by the results of the remaining games. The team is acknowledgedly weak in defensive play. A fairly reliable string of substitutes is a most encouraging feature of the prospects.
