An Earned Game

And even as the game waned with the versatile Les Handleman throwing passes it took a super-human lunge by Bill Morton to batter these tosses to earth and insure the Dartmouth victory. Cornell had showed the hardest set of running backs since the day we sat at Palo Alto and watched Stanford, and you cannot give too much credit to the boys of Dr. Crisp and Swede Youngstrom for their showing in these last two games. It was the fifth straight game that Dartmouth has taken from Cornell and the longest winning streak in the series which dates back to 1900.

One thing about this Dartmouth team; we said at the beginning of the season that followers should not be too optimistic, and yet Dartmouth surpassed our fondest hopes and made a boomerang out of the statements that the line was weak and the running game was nil. One of the best factors in the Cornell game was a running attack which slashed for 107 yards through the vaunted forward wall of the Big Red and helped in a great measure the Dartmouth victory.
