Freshmen o—Syracuse Freshmen 21

While the varsity veterans were going down to a glorious defeat at the hands of Syracuse on Alumni Oval, the Green freshmen were likewise being beaten down for the first time this season by the Orange cubs at Syracuse. Straight football was the program, and though Sid Hazelton's boys fought hard against superior weight, they were never dangerous to the New Yorkers.

Zimmerman was Syracuse's star back, repeatedly making substantial gains through the freshman line and scoring touchdowns in the second and fourth periods. Moses, the Syracuse quarterback, played an equally stirring game, scoring a touchdown in the first period,' and kicking each of the three goal-kicks over the bar.

For the Dartmouth freshmen R. Harris and Cunningham were the bright spots, although each member of the team contributed brilliant football more than once.

Freshmen 61—Springfield Y.M.C.A. 2nds 0

In a game featured by many long, spectacular runs for touchdowns, Coach Hazelton's freshmen scored an easy victory over the Springfield Y. M. C. A. 2nd team, 61-0. The backfield men, especially Haws, I. Harris, and Smith, ran wild through the Springs field team, scoring four touchdowns in the first half and five in the second half of the game.

The long runs which sent warm thrills through the shivering crowd of spectators included one of 60 yards and one of 35 yards by I. Harris, and one sensational 90-yard run from the kickoff by Haws. Cunningham, Stopford, Hatch, and Thurston also showed up well for the freshmen.

Freshmen 77—Columbia Freshmen 6

The University of Columbia freshmen succumbed to the attack of the green jerseyed Dartmouth freshmen in a lop-sided game that resulted in a 77-6 score, while the varsity was in New York attending to Cornell. The Green cubs completely outplayed their opponents, as the score indicates, allowing them but two first downs and one touchdown, which resulted when Dillingham of the visiting team intercepted a forward pass and carried it 60 yards for his team's only mark.

For Sid Hazleton's team, Cunningham, Smith, Haws, and Gififon each scored two touchdowns, and Hall, Thurston, and Maroney one each. Haws contributed a 65-yard run for a touchdown and Smith scored one of 40 yards around right end.

Freshmen 100—Cushing 0

Thirty-seven men of the freshman football squad took part in the race from one end to the other of the gridiron which resulted in a 100-0 score against the weak eleven which represented Cushing Academy. In all the freshmen tallied with 14 touchdowns and 14 goals after touchdown in addition to downing Young, the Cushing fullback, behind his own goal line for a safety.

The touchdowns were distributed as follows : R. Harris 4, I. Harris 2, Thurston 2, Hatch, Hall, Swoboda, Haws, Maroney, and Smith. Thurston kicked 11 goals from touchdowns and Austen 3.

Freshmen 21—Dean Academy 7

Minus six stars who had failed to shine in the classroom, Sid Hazelton's freshmen closed their season with a 21-7 victory over Dean Academy. The freshmen were hesitant about starting to score and gave the honor to Dean, a blocked kick giving Hussey of the Franklin school the opportunity for a 60-yard run for the touchdown.

A 40-yard run by Haws in the second period, and successful passes from Stopford to Thurston in the third and fourth quarters, accounted for the freshman total, with Thurston kicking the goals.

R. Harris Is Freshman Captain

Roger M. Harris of Dallas, Texas, star left halfback of the freshman team, was elected to captain the team at a meeting held before the team's departure to play Syracuse. Harris is also president of the freshman class. Before coming to Dartmouth he attended the Terrill Preparatory School at Dallas, where he was a member of the football, track, and basketball teams.
