DARTMOUTH AND BROWN RESUME ATHLETIC RELATIONS
March, 1915

Eight years ago an unfortunate incident at a baseball game in Providence led to a breaking off of all athletic relations between Dartmouth ana Brown University, after long years of keen rivalry in all branches of outdoor sports. This untoward event has faded into insignificance with the passage of time, and it is with great satisfaction to the undergraduates and alumni of both institutions that relations are now to be resumed.

The initial step toward a renewal of athletic contests came recently when the Brown management invited the Dartmouth relay team to meet Brown at the Providence Athletic Association Armory on February 20. Dartmouth accepted the invitation, and the race was held under most pleasant conditions. The announcement is now made by Graduate Manager Ingersoll that relations in the other forms of athletics will also be resumed. Already completed schedules prevent the possibility of a football contest between the two colleges next fall, but a game in 1916 is promised. Negotiations for a baseball game this spring are now under way.

Thus the tomahawk is buried and the Dartmouth Indian will go forth as of old to hunt the Little Brown Bear in his hiding places; and the Little Brown Bear will, also as of old, come forth from his lair rejoicing to meet his old enemy-friend, the Indian.
