FOOTBALL

As this is written the Columbia game only remains to be played before the curtain is rung down on Dartmouth's 1923 football season, and though as to football, more, perhaps than anything else, predictions are apt to be wrenched awry and completely overturned, all calculations point to a Dartmouth victory in New York on Thanksgiving Day, and the ranking of Dartmouth high on the Eastern list with the Cornell defeat the only blot on her escutcheon.

A clean-cut and complete victory over Harvard and an earned, though unimpressive victory over Brown are the fruits of the present season that may be cast into the balance to weigh against the third successive trouncing from Cornell. The team which at the opening of college in September looked mediocre and below Dartmouth standards has become one of the best Dartmouth teams of the past decade. Coach Jess Hawley '09, to whom Dartmouth turned in an hour of dire need has accomplished more than even the most sanguine of deeply interested Dartmouth optimists ventured to hope for. The mere thought that he may not always be available to coach Dartmouth football teams is the cause of what little of gloom Hanover knows in these days.

Dartmouth 27—Vermont 2

At Burlington, Vt., October 20, Captain Aschenbach's team reckoned with the University of Vermont eleven for the 6 to 3 defeat suffered on Memorial Field last year by severely trouncing the champions of the neighboring state 27 to 2. Vermont's two points were scored in the final period of the game when a poor pass from Parker, substituting for Ellis at center, forced Dartmouth to recover the ball behind its own goal line for a safety touchdown.

Early in the first quarter of the game Dartmouth took advantage of unsteadiness in the Vermont team and attempted to score by means of a placement kick from the Vermont 32-yard line, where a poor punt by Yarnall, Vermont's right halfback, had given the Green possession of the ball. This attempt was unsuccessful, Captain Aschenbach being severely hampered by the strong wind which was blowing down the field against the kick. The ball being put in play on Vermont's 20-yard line following this first Green threat, Yarnall of Vermont pushed the scene of play far down into Dartmouth territory, standing on his own 10-yard line to get away a magnificient punt which, aided by the wind, carried and rolled 78 yards down the field to Dartmouth's 12-yard line. At this point the Dartmouth attack began to show precision and power. Haws, Kelley, and Leavitt were called upon to advance the ball and by a varied and baffling assortment of rushes carried it to Vermont's 42-yard line. Here Haws broke through the Vermont line, and struggling free from a tackier who appeared to have stopped him after a five-yard advance continued down the field for the first of Dartmouth's touchdowns. Haws also kicked the goal scoring the try for point.

For several minutes thereafter the Vermont team successfully checked Dartmouth advances. Captain Aschenbach again tried a placement kick from a favorable position but again was unsuccessful, the ball sailing wide of the goal posts. Dartmouth threatened again a short time later after Fallon, who replaced Dooley at quarterback, had intercepted a Vermont forward pass on Vermont's 30-yard line. A forward pass from Haws to Bjorkman just failed of a touchdown, the Dartmouth end being brought down three yards from the Vermont goal line. Vermont then throwing all the strength of her sturdy forward line and backfield into a desperate defense held the Green at bay, preventing another Dartmouth score, and receiving possession of the ball. Yarnall punted from behind the Vermont goal line to Vermont's 40-yard line where Dartmouth started another advance. Haws and Kelley by a series of well executed plays carried the ball to Vermont's 20-yard line. Again the Vermont team held the Green in check, the period ending as Yarnall punted once more out of. danger. The succeeding period proved a defensive awakening for both teams neither being able to score although Vermont twice threatened by means of forward passes. Gooch, the Vermont quarterback executed a 33-yard pass to Semahsky, Vermont captain, who added 17 yards more before being forced out of bounds. Another pass from Gooch to Semansky at Dartmouth's seven-yard line was two feet short of the distance required for a Vermont first down.

Dartmouth opened the third period with two attempts to score by means of goals from the field. Dooley attempting a drop-kick from the Vermont 20-yard mark and Captain Aschenbach endeavoring to score from placement. The first attempt was blocked, the second far to one side of the goal posts. Another poor punt by Yarnall again placed Dartmouth in position to score and a forward pass from Dooley to Hagenbuckle, who was just across Vermont's goal line, gave Dartmouth its second touchdown. The third Dartmouth touchdown was scored shortly after the beginning of play in the fourth period. A 15-yard penalty incurred by Vermont and a successful 20-yard pass from Dooley to Watkins was followed by another short pass at the goal line, Dooley tossing the ball to Haws. The fourth and final Dartmouth touchdown was scored in a similar manner, when Hall passed the ball over the head of Eastburne, Vermont right end, to Tulley. It was shortly after this burst of Dartmouth scoring that Vermont scored by means of the safety touchdown necessitated by Parker's poor pass.

Although interesting this game at Burlington was not particularly impressive. Vermont's line proved stalwart though the Dartmouth ball carriers, when the team was acting with precision and carrying out assignments pierced it frequently for substantial gains. Dartmouth, however, found the Vermont defense against forward passing inadequate and completed seven out of nine attempts to gain in this manner through the air. Vermont, on the other hand found Dartmouth's defense adequate at all points. Of six offensive plays attempted three yielded a total distance of nine yards, and in its overhead attack Vermont completed but six of 23 forward passes and was forced to watch the Green intercept four of such attempts.

Dartmouth 16—Harvard 0

On October 27, in the Harvard Stadium, at Cambridge, Dartmouth won its first major encounter of the season by a score of 16 to 0. As the Harvard Alumni Magazine said in its review of the game "Dartmouth outplayed the home team in every particular. The score by no means magnifies the difference between the two elevens." The Dartmouth team exhibited a powerful and varied offense, and executed baffling deceptive plays with a brilliance almost dazzling. The forward line was both staunch and alert. The punters were able. In short, the entire team showed almost perfect play. All assignments were carried out, and there were no signs of stumbling or fumbling, crispness and precision being the characteristic of every play. "A Harvard team has seldom been so completely outclassed,'' said the Harvard Alumni Magazine. As a matter of simple fact, the type of football displayed in the Stadium by Dartmouth would have outclassed almost any other team in the country. Certainly it was the best shown by any Dartmouth team during the past ten seasons.

Dartmouth kicked off at the opening of the game, and Hammond returned the ball to Harvard's 27-yard line. Both teams then, feeling out each other's strength, exchanged several punts until Dartmouth had possession of the ball on her own 38-yard line. Here quarterback Dooley began the running attack which resulted in the first touchdown. Haws, Kelley, and Leavitt, in successive rushes advanced the ball to Harvard's 18-yard line where Dooley threw a perfect pass to Haws who circled Harvard's left end for a touchdown. The pass was cleanly and precisely executed and the one Harvard player who might have tackled the Dartmouth runner was efficiently blocked by Hatch. Haws also kicked a goal from placement for the extra point.

Dartmouth scored once more early in the second period. Harvard attempted a forward pass on its own 20-yard line which Kelley intercepted at the 24-yard line. On the next play Haws gained almost IS yards and two more rushes carried the ball to Harvard's three-yard line. Here, Hall, who had replaced Kelley, was given the ball and gained the distance for the second touchdown. Haws missed the! goal. The remainder of the period was unproductive of scoring, Dartmouth refusing to take chances and Harvard proving unable to advance. Only once during this first half of the game did Harvard have possession of the ball in Dart- mouth territory and then only because of a poor kick by Kelley. Dartmouth gained during the half almost ISO yards while Harvard's total gain was restricted to 20 yards.

The third period of the game was without scoring. Dartmouth made several substantial gains but Harvard had become somewhat familiar with the Dartmouth offense and was more effective against it than in the preceding periods. About halfway through the period Harvard, securing the ball on its own 19-yard line, made its first first-down of the game. Again, as the period drew to a close Harvard intercepted a Dartmouth forward pass from the 45-yard line and by means of a pass from Hammond to Spaulding carried the ball for another first-down at Dartmouth's 17-yard line. The Dartmouth line yielded Harvard then but five yards in three plays and Hammond tried to score by means of a drop-kick. The kick was wide of the goal posts and failed. One other offensive spurt by the Harvard team carried the ball from mid-field to Dartmouth's 23-yard line when the period ended.

The Dartmouth line continued unyielding at the opening of the fourth period and allowing but four yards in three plays forced Hammond to forward pass to Hill. Hill was across the Dartmouth! goal line waiting for the pass which Haws knocked to the ground. Dartmouth seemed on the way to a third touchdown when, late in the period, McGlone, at quarterback for Harvard, fumbled and Dartmouth recovered on the Harvard 35-yard line. A series of successful rushes had advanced the ball 18 yards, when Dooley, attempting to forward pass, was tackled by Coombs for a loss of 12 yards. Captain Aschenbach kicked a field goal from placement a few moments later, standing on Harvard's 35-yard line. The ball remained in Harvard's territory out the closing minutes of the game, but Dartmouth was unable to score again. Dartmouth during this final half of the contest gained about 110 yards to 70 for Harvard.

For Dartmouth almost every man of the eleven could be singled out as starring. Certainly Captain Aschenbach, Dooley, Oberlander, Bjorkman, Kelley, Haws, and Leavitt played magnificent football, as did Diehl, Ellis and Hatch. The team proved itself to be in splendid physical condition and save for a minute following the very first play of the game when Hagenbuckle hurt his head in his vicious tackle of Hammond, there was no time taken out for Dartmouth injuries. Oberlander, Diehl, Ellis, Aschenbach, Dooley, and Leavitt played through the entire encounter.

For Harvard Captain Hubbard, at guard, proved himself a player of the finest calibre. He was all over the field, stopping Dartmouth' plays and encouraging his men by word and deed and the applause given him by the Dartmouth stands when he left the field was spontaneous and sincere.

One more quotation from the HarvardAlumni Magazine may not be amiss as a tribute to the Dartmouth team, "it was one of the strongest elevens seen in the Stadium in many a year and it would doubtless have beaten Harvard under any conditions."

Statistics

Statistics of the Dartmouth-Harvard game were published by The Dartmouth in its review of the contest and are reprinted here because of the interesting manner in which they reveal the quality of Dartmouth's play in the Stadium.

Dartmouth had possession of the ball the major part of the time and in 57 rushes gained 245 yards, averaging 4.3 yards where Harvard averaged not quite 2.2 in "her gain of 63 yards in 29 rushes. Dartmouth's net gain in rushing was 220 yards, Harvard's net gain 49 yards.

In nine attempts Dartmouth completed one forward pass for a gain of 20 yards. Harvard completed four out of 13 passes for a net gain of 26 yards.

Hammond, of Harvard, on his 11 punts averaged 39.5 yards to the average of 38 yards attained by Kelley and Hall, who punted 13 times for Dartmouth. Harvard punts totalled 435 yards, Dartmouth punts 490 yards.

In the two kick-offs of Captain Aschenbach for a total distance of 105 yards, a 52.5-yard average, Harvard was outdistanced, Hammond kicking-off three times for a total of 136 yards and an average of 45.5.

In running back kick-offs Harvard was superior to Dartmouth. The Crimson backfield returned two kick-offs 43 yards, averaging 21.5 yards each time. Dartmouth returned three kick-offs 49 yards, an average of 16.6 yards for each.

Penalties were more numerous and more severe for Dartmouth than for Harvard, Dartmouth being penalized six times for a total distance of 40 yards while Harvard drew but three penalties for a total of 15 yards.

Eight times Dartmouth men were thrown for losses which totalled 25 yards. Harvard backs were thrown for losses on only two occasions for a total of 13 yards.

Dartmouth proved alert and quick to grasp opportunities by recovering two fumbles made by Harvard. The Green team was not guilty of a single fumble.

Cornell 32—Dartmouth 7

The nervous strain of playing such a cli- mactic game as that with Cornell immediately following the first real test of the season against Harvard, and at a time when Hanover, choked with 14,000 persons and tense with the excitement and emotion of a combined Dartmouth Night and War Memorial service, must have seemed like the Hanover of a bizarre nightmare, proved the undoing on Memorial Field, November 3, of the team which but a week previously had played so magnificently against Harvard. It is not detracting from the greatness of Cornell's undeniably great team to state in fairness to Captain Aschenbach's men that in their state of nervousness and insecurity they presented the Ithacans with 22 points of the total Cornell score. The Dartmouth team which performed before the crowded stands of Memorial Field was by no means the same team which had played so brilliantly at Cambridge. The crispness and precision of that day was entirely missing as were also the qualities of alertness and carefulness. The Green team played sturdily and with grim determination which availed nothing in the face of the frequent misplays which took place at critical moments. The Cornell team, under Coach Dobie, continues this year as in the two years preceding to be so extra ordinarily powerful and capable as to be almost invincible, and no opponent who is guilty of errors and mistakes in play can hope to conquer it. The majority opinion of the football experts who witnessed the game, namely that a score of 10 to 0 would have stated properly the comparitive merits of the two contestants seems just and, in fact, had the Dartmouth team at any time been able to swing into the fast, alert, and finished type of football played against Harvard might even have been shaded. As a matter of fact the team's uncertainty and unsteadiness of play was such as to make it appear fortunate not to have been scored upon more often by an opposing force which seemed to have a quantity of power in reserve upon which it was not forced to. call. In other words Cornell had not the slightest difficulty in administering to Dartmouth the third severe trouncing in as many years.

Dartmouth men received an opportunity to cheer when on the opening kick-off in the first quarter, Kelley receiving the kick on Dartmouth's five-yard line returned it to the 25-yard line before being downed. It was a pretty run-back but due to subsequent events proved purely ornamental. Kelley failed to gain in the next play which was directed at Cornell's right tackle. Then occurred the first of a series of disasters. Haws fumbled the ball and Ramsey recovered for Cornell near Dartmouth's 20-yard line. For a team of Cornell's power a distance of 20 yards to a touchdown means considerably less than it might to some other teams. Ramsey made five yards. He was held for no gain on the succeeding play and Cornell was penalized 15 yards. Dartmouth appeared momentarily to have denied a touchdown. Patterson, however, gained five more yards for Cornell, and after an incompleted forward pass a successful one was executed, Pfann to Ramsey which gave Cornell first down on Dartmouth's 12-yard line. On a fake pass Captain Pfann made the entire distance for a touchdown. Sundstrom missed the goal.

Following the first scoring the Dartmouth team temporarily rallied its forces, and really outplayed Cornell during the remainder of the period. Relying mainly upon superiority in punting Dartmouth held Cornell and forced an exchange of kicks which eventually forced the Ithaca team to defend on its own eight-yard line. The Cornell juggernaut was being checked and in eight attempts to advance the ball by rushing were successful in making but three advances for a total of 12 yards. Dartmouth in 13 rushes advanced the ball six times for a total gain of 16 yards, but was twice forced back five yards, once when Kelley fumbled and recovered. Dartmouth was penalized ten yards, twice being off-side and Cornell drew penalties totalling 35 yards, twice interfering with fair catches and once being off-side. The period ended after a successful 13-yard pass from Dooley to Haws, with Dartmouth having fourth down on Cornell's 17-yard line. Dartmouth lost three opportunities to score when forward passes were grounded.

At the opening of the second period Cornell received the ball on her own seven-yard line after a successful forward pass from Dooley to Bjorkman had failed by only a couple of inches of netting a first down. Dartmouth showed then a spurt of power after Cornell had punted out of danger to her own 34-yard line. Haws and Kelley advanced the ball 18 yards in four rushes and on an around end play Watkins added 11 yards bringing the ball to Cornell's five-yard line. With fourth down and two yards only intervening to the goal line a forward pass was grounded and the ball brought out to the 20-yard line, a splendid offensive burst and a golden opportunity having been lost. Dartmouth, however, surged to the fore a moment later when Captain Aschenbach blocking a kick picked up the ball and carried it 22 yards for a touchdown. Haws kicked the goal.

Dartmouth cheers were stopped again almost immediately following Captain Aschenbach's feat. Cornell kicked off to Dartmouth's 25-yard line where Haws, who received the kick was downed. Then occurred one of those mysterious mistakes in signals which often spell a team's disaster. A pass from the center evidently surprised the back who had retreated to a kicker's position and though he made a hurried effort to recover it the ball, squeezed from his arms to the arms of a Cornell man on Dartmouth's six-yard line. Ramsey carried the ball across the line on his third attempt, for Cornell's second touchdown. This, upon reflection, appears to have been the turning point of the contest. Barring the unfortunate fumble at the outset of the game Dartmouth until this time had not only been holding the Cornellians in check but actually outplaying them. From this moment, however, the machine which had seemed to be gathering speed and power balked and became ineffectual. In the remainder of the period Dartmouth rushed the ball six times, gaining in three rushes a total of 11 yards and being thrown for a total loss of seven yards in two of the rushes. A forward pass gained one yard and another forward pass was grounded. The Cornell attack was obviously getting under way. Aided by a 35-yard run by Captain Pfann the visiting team in eight successful rushes gained 55 yards and added nine more yards with a successful forward pass. Cornell backs were twice thrown for losses totalling 11 yards. At length with the ball on Dartmouth's 11-yard line Sundstrom kicked a goal from placement putting Cornell in the lead by a score of 15 to 7.

Dartmouth lost another opportunity to score shortly after the third period opened, a long pass, Dooley to Watkins, having carried the ball to Cornell's 12-yard line. Here after ineffectual at the line another pass was grounded and Cornell received the ball. Pfann completed a short pass for a gain of 10 yards for Cornell and following a fouryard gain by Ramsey punted to Dartmouth's 18-yard line. Here Dooley in a wild endeaver to regain distance he was losing when the Cornell line broke through and swept him backwards while he was attempting a forward pass, tossed the ball frantically to one side where it landed in the arms of a Cornell player. Pfann added five yards for Cornell and Ramsey went through the Green line for the third touchdown. The period to this point had netted Cornell 22 yards in three successful rushes and only one Cornell rush had been stopped. Dartmouth, on the other hand, in three successful rushes had gained but three yards, had been stopped once for no gain, and lost five yards on an off-side penalty. Cornell also had gained by means of a 10-yard forward pass while Dartmouth aside from the gain registered by the pass to Watkins had been unsuccessful in an aerial attack. The demoralization of the Green team was completed when Cornell was presented with a third touchdown. For a brief moment before the close of the period the Dartmouth team appeared once more to have shaken off the curse of ineptitude, but only for a moment. Receiving the ball on her 24-yard line the team swept down the field to Cornell's 19-yard line by means of three successful passes, for 30 yards, 15 yards, and 9 yards, and a gain through the line of 2 yards. Here Cornell intercepted a forward pass and returned the ball to her own 45-yard line. Watkins recovered a Cornell fumble, but the Green team was unable then to gain and two attempted rushes were thrown for losses totailing four yards. Cornell in its only attempt to rush the ball gained four yards. Dartmouth in four rushes was successful three times for a total gain of five yards. The Green's only appreciable gains were made in the air, four successful passes having netted 62 yards. By intercepting two passes, however, Cornell had effectually stopped both Dartmouth attacks.

In the fourth period Dartmouth had recourse to a frantic aerial attack attempting eight passes, two of which were intercepted and only one of which was successful, and that one but for a seven-yard gain. Three rushes at the line proved futile. Receiving the ball on downs after a Dartmouth assault had failed Cornell aided by a 27-yard run by Pfann and a successful forward pass scored another touchdown. Dartmouth presented the Ithaca team with three more points immediately afterward when Hall fumbled the kick-off and Cornell recovered on Dartmouth's 15-yard line. A rush at the line netted five yards, but Cornell, probably because the game was near its close, elected to kick a goal from the field rather than to attempt to traverse the remaining 10 yards to its fifth touchdown. Sundstrom kicked the goal from placement, making the final score Cornell 32, Dartmouth 7.

Cold figures and statistics fail to give an adequate idea of this game which disheartened Dartmouth. True it is that throughout most of the first half of the contest Dartmouth, in those moments when not fumbling, outrushed and outplayed the team from Ithaca. Throughout the remainder of the game, however, the Green team displayed the erratic play of desperation, passing the ball in the air on almost every play and in a manner that from the stands appeared haphazard and hopeless. At times too, when momentarily the aerial attack had been successful and it appeared that good strategy would call for attacks on the Cornell line, such attacks were not forthcoming and the advance was checked by the interception of passes. Dartmouth fumbles and Dooley's wild pass to a Cornell player practically presented the Cornell team, formidable at any time, with 22 points, a handicap which the Green, in the best of condition would have found almost insurmountable. The game clearly proved the inadvisability of attempting to play, under high pressure, two hard games within a period of eight days. Coach Dobie's schedule had given the Cornell team a vacation on the preceding Saturday, the value of which was easily apparent.

Dartmouth 16—Brown 14

Dartmouth's football team showed itself at Fenway Park, Boston, November 10, still unrecovered from the reaction which followed the encounter in the Harvard Stadium. Though defeating Brown, it wasted power, faltered in its attack, and was given to periods of torpor when on the defensive. The game it played was spasmodic and erratic. Brown, on the other hand, though undeniably a weaker team, played with speed and efficiency and a zest which made it at all times a dangerous opponent and a troublesome one. Throughout the contest was one in which periods of unusual activity alternated with periods of unusual inactivity, and football that is ordinarily spread fairly evenly through two hours of play was served to the spectators in concentrated doses after intervals of comparative calmness. Thus the two Dartmouth touchdowns which might ordinarily have come in different periods or even different halves of the game were scored in the third period within a few moments of one another. Thus the two Brown touchdowns which similarly might ordinarily have been separated by an appreciable lapse of time were crowded into the last three minutes of play, giving the game a dramatic, not to say melodramatic aspect and placing it as a whole out of perspective and in a position in which it is difficult to view with any certainty of accuracy.

Dartmouth took the scoring lead early in the first period when after an exchange of punts the Dartmouth backfield carried the ball to Brown's 17-yard line from which point Haws kicked a goal from placement. In its march down the field the Dartmouth team showed an attacking power so superior to the Brown defense that its inability to utilize this power to the greatest advantage when gains were most sorely needed rather baffles analysis. Of course Dartmouth was unable to make consistent long gains; through the aggressive and stalwart line of Brown. But having demonstrated that the Brown line could be pierced for long gains with rather more ease than the lines of either Harvard or Cornell the team forced its supporters to speculate as to why when these gains were most needed they were consistently unattained and even unattempted. Following Dartmouth's score the play throughout the half consisted of exchanges of punts and of the usual alternating periods of advance and retreat, in which Brown exhibited less power than Dartmouth but used its power more skillfully and to better advantage. The Brown quarterback finding his backs more capable of gaining by means of sweeps than by means of dashes against the strong Dartmouth line used plays of this category effectively. Dooley, at quarterback for Dartmouth, suffered apparently, however, from an excess of caution of strategy. or both, and often when plays directed at the Brown line had been yielding with some regularity and consistency abandoned that type of attack when, to all appearances, it might have been most fruitful. Twice during the first half of the game the Brown team got within striking distance of the Dartmouth goal and attempted drop-kicks which failed.

It was not until the third period was half ended that the Dartmouth linemen at last succeeded in blocking a Brown punt, an event which had seemed almost inevitable every time Brown punted. The Green line had been breaking through the opposition repeatedly and time and again missed blocking Brown kicks by only the smallest margins. At length Oberlander accomplished the feat, and Maloney, who had replaced Watkins at end, chased the ball from Brown's 20-yard line over the goal line and fell on it. Haws kicked the goal. Within a few minutes, after having almost accomplished the feat on the next of Brown's attempts to punt, Oberlander again broke through the Brown line and duplicated his performance, this time making the touchdown himself. Haws missed the try for point following this score.

It was in the fourth period that Brown displayed the aerial attack which the Dartmouth defense seemed unable to rally and check, and executed several passes for substantial gains. At length, just as Dartmouth appeared to have organized successfully to withstand the open game Dooley misjudged a punt on which he was attempting a fair catch and the ball struck him high on the chest rebounding as quickly as a stretched elastic snaps back and giving him no opportunity to grasp it. Reynolds of Brown scooped the ball into his arms and dashed across the Dartmouth goal line for a touchdown. Brown then began again the assault through the air and in the next few minutes a 30-yard pass from Eisenberg was caught by Dixon who carried it to the Green's six-yard line before being downed. Here the Dartmouth line gave way sufficiently to allow Pohlman to score Brown's second touchdown two plays later. Swaney kicked the goal which brought Brown's total to 14. The whistle ending the game sounded but a minute later after another Brown pass had been intercepted to give Dartmouth an advantage and Dartmouth fumbled in favor of Brown.

Dartmouth 62—Colby 0

Colby College, though having but five days previously won the football championship of Maine proved to have little opposition to offer for Dartmouth so late in the season as November 17 when the game was played on Memorial Field. The Maine team appeared disorganized and demoralized and frequently presented Dartmouth with touchdowns by fumbling. The Dartmouth team was able to gain almost at will and amassed the largest score acquired in Hanover since the memorable defeat of Tufts in 1914. Dartmouth's regular team after scoring 28 points was withdrawn at the end of the first quarter. Nevertheless the score had mounted to 42 points before the end of the half. The Dartmouth coaches then took advantage of the opportunity to test the men of the squad and by the time of the final whistle had used 41 players. Haws led the Dartmouth scoring with a total of 31 points.

The football game with Vermont, at Burlington, October 20, was the 21st meeting between the two colleges. Dartmouth has won 18 of the games and Vermont 1, three games having been tied. The total point score is Dartmouth 609, Vermont 21.

The game in Cambridge was the 29th encounter between Harvard and Dartmouth. Harvard has won 24 times, Dartmouth three times, and three games have been tied. The total point score of the games is Harvard 649, Dartmouth 91. All of Dartmouth's 91 points against Harvard have been scored since the time of the installation of the coaching system at Dartmouth in 1901. Prior to that time Dartmouth in IS games did not score a single point. Since 1901 the count has. been more even, Harvard having won nine games to Dartmouth's three, with three games tied, and having scored 127 points to Dartmouth's 91.

The meeting at Boston with Brown was the 19th between the two colleges. Dartmouth was unable to do better than tie one game with Brown while Brown won five from Dartmouth prior to 1901. The total scores of the series to date are Brown 188 points, Dartmouth 143. Brown has won nine games and Dartmouth eight, with one game tied. Since 1901 Brown has won four times.

With Cornell Dartmouth has now played seven games of which Cornell has won four, scoring 140 points to Dartmouth's 58.
