MAINE ASSOCIATION

The twentieth annual meeting of the Dartmouth Association of Maine was held at the Cumberland Club, Portland, on the evening of March 20, the number of those present being 41.

The following officers were elected: president, Robert R. Lane '07 of South Portland; vice-president, John B. Thomes '10 of Portland; secretary and treasurer, Carrell K. Pierce '23 of Portland; chairman of executive committee, Howard K. Dyer '10 of Portland.

Refutation of the stories circulated after the Dartmouth-Bates football game last fall, in which Dartmouth defeated the Maine team 21 to 0, to the effect that Dartmouth took "mercy" on the Bates team because Dave Morey, head coach at Bates, was a former captain and all-American halfback at Dartmouth was made by Morey and by Sid Hazelton.

Coach Morey declared that the Bates team expected and received no "mercy" from the hands of the men wearing the colors of his Alma Mater. The Bates team was one of the hardest nuts that the Dartmouth team had to crack last year, declared Hazelton.

The Bates mentor described the Dartmouth team of last fall as one of the best teams he has seen in the last ten years in all sections of the country, with its blocking and tackling outstanding. He told some of the experiences he had encountered since handling the coaching reins at the Lewiston college. He humorously told how sports writers described him as a "flash in the pan" after the Bates team won its state football championship in 1929, his first year at the college, and how the same writers said that he "still had his horseshoes" after the Bates team again won the state title in 1930.

Plans for the erection of a student union building at Dartmouth were outlined by Mr. Hazelton. The history of the founding of the Maine Alumni Association was outlined by Nathan C. Redlon '06, one of the charter members. Motion pictures of the Yale-Dartmouth and Dartmouth-Stanford games were shown, with Mr. Hazelton explaining the plays.

The oldest alumnus present was Dr. James A. Spalding of the class of 1866.
