DARTMOUTH CLUB OF BOSTON

The annual night-before-the-game smoker was held in the auditorium of the Boston City Club on Friday evening, November 19. Coach "Fat" Spears was given a notable reception, and a tremendous ovation when he appeared on the stage as one of the speakers. Jim Kimball '01 presided as only Jim can preside, and called on Jigger Pender, graduate manager, Bill Cunningham, representing the team, Assistant Coach Jack Cannell, Coach Spears, Joe W. Gannon, president of the Athletic Council, and Prof. H. E. Burton of the Athletic Council. Throughout the evening the Dartmouth College band played, and Harry McDevitt '07 sang, with Les Wiggin '10 at the piano. Werner Janssen played several selections, and was continually called back for more.

A special meeting of the Dartmouth Club was called just before the smoker, and it was voted to change the legal form of the Club from that of a voluntary association to an incorporated body. The persons constituting the, present board of directors, acting as a committee for and in behalf of the Club, were authorized and directed to form a corporation under the provisions of the 125 th Chapter of the Revised Laws of Massachusetts.

More than a thousand Dartmouth men and their friends again filled the auditorium at the City Club on Saturday afternoon, November 27, to hear the returns from the Dartmouth-Washington game over the Dartmouth Club wire. A telegram was sent from the Club to Coach Spears and the team, and between the halves it was reported that "Fat" received the message just as Bill Cunningham was kicking the goal after the first touchdown. Dick Paul '11 read the returns, and Willis Fitch led the cheering.

Many of the old football men who had helped to open the other stadiums were in the hall to listen to the results of the dedication game.
