The Dartmouth-Brown Discussion

Another announcement, the first public intimation of which came from George Carens of the Boston Transcript, stated that Dartmouth and Brown had decided not to continue football relations after the 1929 game.

This news appeared to furnish various sporting writers with a delicate tib-bit over which they could chew and mull to their heart's content. They had been through a Harvard-Princeton break, and a Harvard- Brown break, and they were just sitting back waiting for the next one. However, all discussion petered out two days after the announcement, and the football sea is still calm and placid.

The athletic office at Dartmouth sent out statement after statement which went so far as to say that relations between Brown and Dartmouth were still very cordial, and that the Green would continue to meet the Bear in many other branches of sport. Rip Heneage, local custodian of Dartmouth sportdom broke into print in a flare headline running across the top of the Globe which bellowed forth "No break with Brown, says Heneage!" Brown officials, viewing the situation in Providence, expressed mild surprise at Dartmouth's action in terminating the football series, and concluded with the fact that Brown would get bigger and better football

games as a result of the change. But everything blew over, and both schools looked for other opponents.
