Dartmouth Scores First

Down at Yale you can take all of your predictions, write them out on paper and burn them up, for that is their value. After a scoreless first period, Bill Morton kicked a placement goal on the second play of the next period, and the 3-0 lead looked quite good, for we all remembered the 0-0 score of a year ago.

But who would have predicted that Albie Booth would score three touchdowns in the space of ten minutes and that Dartmouth would have been blasted right out of this lead? We have maintained for three years that Albie Booth is in a class by himself, and although Wee Albie has never gone like a house afire against Dartmouth or Harvard, nevertheless there is always that innate suspense as long as he is on the field.

Well in that delirious second period Albie raced 94 yards for a touchdown from the kickoff following Morton's goal, took a 22-yard forward pass from Lefty Todd to score again and finally like a whirling pigmy dashed 52 yards from scrimmage for his third score. There it was: Yale 19, Dartmouth 3, and Green feathers began to droop and Green hearts were downcast.

After Albie's third touchdown, Yale kicked off to Dartmouth, and on the first play Bill Morton faded back to his 28-yard line. Dangerous territory, but his pass looped like a punt toward the Yale goal and suddenly out of the Yale box defense appeared the flying form of Wild William McCall. He picked the pass out of the air and raced unimpeded for the goal for the completion of a 72-yard gain.
