FRESHMAN FOOTBALL
Freshmen 28—Goddard 0
Long end runs and smashing line plunges featured the freshman team's 28 to 0 victory over Goddard Seminary on the same day that Cannell's varsity team was handily setting down Columbia. Throughout the first period, which was played between the halves of the more important game, neither of the younger teams were able to score, the freshmen losing an opportunity on a fumble after a series of brilliant rushes had put the ball on Goddard's 20-yard line. Coach Hazelton's boys started the counting in the second period, however, when a long forward pass netted a touchdown from Goddard's 30-yard line. Three more touchdowns were scored by the freshmen in the third period, Yarnall making" the first on a long end run, Stevens the second by running back a Goddard punt 60 yards, and Brown plunging across from the 5-yard line for the last. The final quarter of the game resolved itself into a twilight punting dual.
Freshmen 17—Syracuse Freshmen 14
After an opening that looked like a reflection of the game being played on the Cornell gridiron October 29, Coach Hazelton's freshman team took a decided brace and defeated the team coached by Jim Robertson's brother in the last second of play. Throughout the first minutes of the opening period the heavy Syracuse team exhibited an attack that made spectators believe that adding machines would be necessary to figure the New York state total for the day, scoring the first touchdown of the afternoon with, apparently, the utmost ease. This touchdown evidently jarred the Green youngsters into a fighting rage for the Orange backfield was hereafter held consistently in check and long forward passes netted two touchdowns for Dartmouth, the period ending 14 to 7. Neither team was able to score in the second quarter, but with the opening of the next half of the contest the New York boys again appeared to be easy winners and in the opening minutes disclosed a whirlwind attack that tied the score. From this time forward until the final whistle both teams battled savagely. At last in the final period Dartmouth lost the ball on downs on the Syracuse 10-yard line but recovered it 20 yards back by hurrying the Syracuse punt. On the third down after this recovery, with six yards to go, Stevens, the freshman quarterback, called for a drop-kick which Bolles supplied just as the whistle announced the end of play.
For a heady and hearty game of football against as rugged a team of freshmen as has been exhibited in Hanover in more years than we remember Sid Hazelton's team is deserving of all the bouquets the MAGAZINE has on hand.
Freshmen 68—Colby Academy 7
Little opposition was encountered by the freshmen in the meeting with Colby Academy, November S. The first-year men exhibited a strong attack and an equally strong defense against the lighter preparatory school team, winning by a" score of 68 to 7. Once more the feature of the freshman play was the forward passing game, with Bolles, Leavitt, Kilby, Emerson and Bjorkman scoring touchdowns. Bolles was credited with the first tally, scoring on the fourth play in the opening period after a 30-yard run by Yarnall. Yarnall later intercepted a forward pass and raced 35 yards for another tally, the third of the game, Leavitt having contributed the second. Yarnall and Bolles each scored again in the second period, with Kilby and Emerson each adding to the total later and Bjorkmau also contributing two touchdowns. The lone score of the Colby team was; made by Furbush who ran 60 yards after recovering a fumble.
Freshmen 7—Penn State Freshmen 0
The Penn State freshman team was the sixth victim of Dartmouth's youngsters, the Hanover boys taking the weighty end of a 7 to 0 score at State College, Pa., November 12. Throughout the afternoon the Pennsylvanians were able to score but one first down against Coach Hazelton's team and only by the fact that the playing field was a sea of mud were the Nittany Mountain boys enabled to keep the Green score below two figures.
Again a forward pass was responsible for the Dartmouth touchdown, Stevens receiving the ball near the last chalk mark and sliding through three Penn State tacklers at the close of the first period. Several times thereafter the Dartmouth freshmen threatened to score again but were prevented by the mud and snow and general unsuitability of the weather conditions. The Green yearlings exhibited a sturdy brand of aggressive football throughout the afternoon with Leavitt and Stevens leading the attack.
