FRESHMAN FOOTBALL

Oct. 3 — Dartmouth 1918 0, Exeter 32. 10 — Dartmouth 1918 0, Gushing 3. 17 — Dartmouth 1918 9, Worcester Academy 3.

The freshman team got off to a very poor start when the Phillips Exeter Academy eleven, playing in Hanover for their first game, swamped the yearlings and ran away with a 32-0 victory. Long end runs by the visitors, and ragged work in all departments of the game for the freshmen were the characteristics of the game. The freshman material looked to be about on a par with that of the average former year, but was untutored and disorganized.

Cushing Academy sprung a surprise when by a goal from placement it defeated the freshman team at Ashburnham on October 10. Dartmouth again found it impossible to play together, and was at times swept away by the opponent's offence. At no time in the game was either team in a position to score a touchdown. Dartmouth showed some improvement, especially in holding on to the ball.

With a score of 9-3 against the strong Worcester team, the freshmen gained their first victory of the season on October 17. The long and hard practice .of the previous week showed its result in the improved playing of the freshman aggregation. The victory was the more creditable in that it was made over a strong, heavy, veteran, and hitherto undefeated eleven.
