RESIGNATION OF COACH CAVANAUGH

Frank W. Cavanaugh, coach of varsity football for the past six seasons, severed his connection with Dartmouth teams by handing his resignation to the Athletic- Council on Tuesday, February 13th. This resignation was accepted.

Mr. Cavanaugh, who had played as end on the varsity during his entire college course, after leaving college, coached teams in the western states, at Holy Cross, and at Worcester Academy, coming to Dartmouth under a one-year contract for the season of 1911. This season will be remembered for the "bounding ball" victory [by Princeton which caused such extended discussion, and for the close game with Harvard, finally lost by Dartmouth 5 to 3. At the close of the season Mr. Cavanaugh was re-engaged for a three year term. The following year saw a defeat by Princeton 22-7. victory over Cornell 24-0, and another close game with Harvard, again lost by Dartmouth by a score of 3 to 0, Harvard scoring her points through the medium of a field goal by Brickley.

Relations with Harvard in football were then interrupted, and in 1913 Dartmouth defeated Princeton 6 to 0, and Pennsylvania 34-21, but was disastrously defeated by Carlisle in an anticlimax game by the score of 35 to 10.

In 1914, Dartmouth saw her best season under Mr. Cavanaugh, losing to Princeton 16-12 but defeating Tufts 68-0, and Syracuse 40-0.

At the end of this season another three-year engagement was made. In 1915 Princeton defeated Dartmouth 30 to 7, but victory was achieved over Pennsylvania 7-3 and a tie with Syracuse 0-0 played at Syracuse under indescribable weather conditions.

In 1916,-Dartmouth suffered defeat at the hands of Georgetown and Princeton, 10-0 and 6-3, won over Syracuse 15-10, and tied Pennsylvania and West Virginia, both by scores of 7-7. The future plans of the Athletic Council as to football coaching are as yet undisclosed.
