Notes on the Fall Season
JANUARY 1932 H. H. Hubbard '32

A few interesting gleanings remain. Bill Morton picked an all-opponent football team after the close of the football season which might be of interest to readers. Here it is: Colvin (Stanford) le; Hardy (Harvard) It; Heiser (Stanford) lg; Malin (Yale) c; Corbus (Stanford) rg; Ehrhorn (Stanford) rt; Barres (Yale) re; Hillman (Stanford) qb; Caddel (Stanford) Ihb; Booth (Yale) rhb; Yiviano (Cornell) fb.

Randall Cook of Evanston, 111., was elected captain of the Dartmouth cross country team, significant as he is only a junior. For those who like to get behind the scenes in football, here is the best story of them all. It is told by Harry Von Kersburg, the Harvard official, during one of the football sessions held in downtown Boston hotels. Von Kersburg was officiating at the Yale-Dartmouth game, which ended in that famous 33- 33 tie this fall.

The second period was near the close, and Little Albie Booth had run riot with three touchdowns to put his team into a 19-3 lead. The Dartmouth stands felt hopeless as time was taken out. Von Kersburg sauntered over to the Dartmouth huddle to see what was going on. Bill Morton was kneeling in the center of his team.

"We can beat this team!" said the surprising Morton, "All we need is three touchdowns!" And then, "Now let's go get 'em."

Morton could hardly wait to decide the plays. The amazed Yon Kersburg walked over to the Yale huddle, where Albie Booth was holding forth. He was very serious.

"Listen, you guys," Booth was saying "They're getting hot. We're in for a whale of a fight. They're going to click! If any of you guys want to get out of here, now is the time to beat it!"

A few minutes later Morton had whipped a pass to McCall for the first touchdown, and you know the story of the rest of that game.
