Following the Big Green Teams

Dartmouth's Big Green football team, generally conceded in September to have the makings of a championship outfit, crossed up all the dopesters by running into one of the sorriest seasons since Jesse Hawley assumed the head coachship.

No less than three games in a row were dropped, and all of them went to opponents who make defeat seem all the more bitterHarvard, Yale and Brown. These three games, lost by scores of 19-7, 18-0 and 14-0, plunged Dartmouth into the very doldrums mentally and physically, and caused Hawley to start in anew to build a football team when the season was all but over. This rebuilt team from the ground up proceeded to smack Cornell at Ithaca 28 to 0, in a really brilliant game, and at this writing the team is preparing for Northwestern.

Just what is the cause for the collapse of this Dartmouth team? Why should an eleven rated 10 to 6 better than Harvard go down in very definite defeat? The answer, in your correspondent's estimation, lies in the fact that a situation unparalleled in recent Dartmouth football history rose up in the form of a gigantic spectre, and wrote one word across the Big Green football camp, in amazing proportions. That one word was INJURIES.
