At the close of the first half, of the Boston University game at Hanover, November 8, Dartmouth's varsity football team left the field convinced that Coach Whelan's eleven was no set-up having a place on the schedule merely to fill a date. It had discovered that a line with a 200-pound average is something to buck against even though it does lack experience.

With their over-confidence checked by the first half in which they were able to gather but six points, Coach Hawley's regulars returned to the game and made the score 19-0 before they trotted off to the showers at the opening of the fourth period. The substitutes took advantage of the Terriers' weariness to double the score in the closing quarter.

The Green's first touchdown was the result of a beautiful 92-yard march by Oberlander and Hall with some assistance by Dooley. This came in the second period after the home team had been held scoreless for the first quarter. 1 ully's try for field goal was perfectly blocked.

The other scores were almost identical in their character. Five times the Green kicked off, five times the Green held for downs,- fiv.2 times the Green received the ball on a punt and five times it marched down the field for a, tally. Field goals were difficult because of the wind, only two points being made after touch- downs and one of these by a trick forward pass, Dooley to Tully.

Encouraging features of the game were the power displayed by the substitutes and the strength of Dartmouth's defense against a carefully developed aerial game. Not so pleasing was the forward passing of the Green which did not seem to be in gear at all. Oberlander and Hall played their usual good game and Oberlander especially found no difficulty in getting through the very heavy B. U. line.
