1918 FOOTBALL

Eight games, three with teams not met by the Green last fall, comprise the varsity football schedule for the season of 1918. Syracuse, Boston College, Massachusetts Aggies all resume football relations after a lapse of a single year, while West Virginia, Tufts, and Middlebury have been dropped to make way for the new contests. To prepare the team for as hard a season as any Dartmouth eleven has faced in recent years, the college has again secured the services of C. W. Spears, who last year acted as head coach.

In comparison with the schedule of last fall, the arrangement of games for the 1918 season is more difficult, both in order of contests and in the strength of the teams to be faced. With Penh State shifted to third place and Syracuse meeting the Green at New York the following Saturday, Coach Spears is given but two minor games in which to prepare his charges for the stiff opposition sure to be encountered in the third and fourth contests. New Hampshire State comes to Hanover, November 2, next fall, meeting Dartmouth on the former Penn State date. The Pennsylvania game occupies its customary sixth place and Brown will again bring the season to a close at Boston.

Three new two-year agreements assure the Dartmouth team strong competition in 1919 as well as next fall. Syracuse will feature the home season with a game in Hanover in 1919, while Pennsylvania will have the New York contest that year. Next season the Green meets the Red and Blue in Philadelphia. Penh State and Dartmouth will alternate on each other's fields in 1918 and 1919, the State eleven coming here for the second time next fall.

The entire schedule follows: October s—Springfield Y. M. C. A. at Hanover; October 12—-Massachusetts Aggies at Hanover; October 19—Penn State at Hanover; October 26—Syracuse at New York City; November 2—New Hampshire State at Hanover; November 9 University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia; November 16—Boston College at Hanover; November 23—Brown at Boston.
