Frank Merriwell McCall

And then in came Mr. Wild Bill McCall. Honestly this boy packs so many thrills into his playing that he is one of the real attractions on the Dartmouth team. Look what happened now after Cornell had kicked out to their 42-yard line Shep Wolff tossed a beautiful 32-yard pass to McCall, which carried the ball down to the 15-yard line, and then he passed to McCall again for 10 yards. After Wilkin had banged the line, Morton faded back and threw a pass to McCall and the Wild one battered his way to the Cornell one-yard line. If the game had ended after the next three plays, the Cornell line would have been the collective hero of the game, for they threw back both Wilkin and Morton who sought to crash the heart of their defense and the ball went to the Ithacans on their own six-inch line.

Twice had Dartmouth surges failed at the goal, and for the third time Cornell kicked out from their end zone. This kick travelled only to the Red 37-yard line. Tense and exciting minutes fleeted by and Shep Wolff threw a down the center pass to this same McCall who caught it and fought his way to the five-yard line. Two running plays by Bob Wilkin showed that no ground was to be gained, and as a last minute attempt Wolff passed wide off the right Dartmouth flank to McCall who struggled over the last line to what was the deciding score.

And now Dartmouth goes to the West Coast undefeated, and win or lose they will have compiled a record under Jackson Cannell which has been the product of sound football. Word comes at this writing that Jack has signed another three-year contract which assures Dartmouth of his head coach ship until 1934. There has never been a pleasanter soul to work with than Cannell, and his relations with the press have always been most cordial.

Looking back over the Dartmouth material, one might sum it up by saying that the Green has one fast, rugged line and a wealth of backs. In the backfield, men like Eddie Toothaker and Red Porter have seen little service, and particularly, in Toothaker's case, is a first-class back who has not played in the Harvard, Yale or Cornell games at all! Ward Donner stepped into a halfback position when McCall, Frigard and Porter were all injured and played like a real veteran against Harvard. Bill Morton has an edge on the quarterback position, and McCall was shifted back to half after it was seen that Morton was a real iron man.

The line revolves around Andres, Crehan, Barber, Bromberg and Hoffman and beyond these men only a few have made the grade, notably John Goodwillie, Charley Nims and Bill Phinney. The ends have been discussed.

We now look forward to the trip to the West Coast and I plan to stay in California to see the Notre Dame-U. S. C. game as well as the Dartmouth-Stanford and make a real vacation out of the trip.
