Class of 1913
Mose Linscott toured to Hanover for the Norwich game and found that, in addition to the class "townies," Milton Aronowitz and his bride and the von Tackys were week-ending there. The von Tackys' older boy, Richard L., is a freshman this year, the first son of a classmate to attend Dartmouth, as far as I know, and I think I know.
Ken Winship writes from P.O. Box 661, Tulsa, Okla., "I shall definitely be presentat the reunion in June, and I should liketo participate in any preliminary arrangements."
From Long Beach, Calif., come hopes of Sid Akerstrom to stay there on the Coast long enough to be returned East in January or February for shore duty. His two years' sea duty was up on August 30.
It makes the Secretary feel that life is worth while when newsy letters like the one from Leeds Gulick in Phoenix, Ariz., come to hand in time to swell the ALUMNI MAGAZINE column:
"I have had an envelope addressed toyou for a long time, but held it hoping tobe able to report a visit with Sid Akerstrom.Ray Bennett thought he might have goneEast, but finally after some effort and atrip to his boat I learned in a letter ofAugust 15 that he was still at San Pedro.As I had made two efforts to see him, hesaid he would come over (about 10-12miles) to see us, but he did not show upbefore we left California on September 9.
"I saw Ray Bennett five or six times during the summer, attending one of theOlympic track events with my wife andRay and his wife. Ray is a mighty important man in Los Angeles, and does an excellent job as this year's president of theDartmouth Club.
"The Club holds weekly luncheons withfrom 25 to 50 present every week. On oneoccasion during the games Harry Hillman,Mai Metcalfe, Don Cunningham, and othergood Dartmouth and prospective Dartmouth men were present with over 100 inattendance. It certainly was great to getinto the Dartmouth atmosphere again. Wehave at least three graduates in Phoenixand one or two non-grads that I know of,and we are going to get together for lunchthis Saturday and hope to continue doingso monthly."
Dave Adams, now Dr. David Adams, has gone to Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass., as associate professor, department of history and literature of religion.
The Boston Traveler on October 4 ran a very fine article on Dave Morey by Henry McKenna. He said in part:
"Dave Morey, old Dartmouth athlete,whose Bates College team astounded thefootball world by holding the mighty Yalesquad to a scoreless deadlock down in thebowl on Saturday, is one of the few coachesin the business who favors small collegesbooking games with major opponents inearly season. The majority of such gamesare arranged purely to aid the strongerteams to get the 'feel' of things and at thesame time to add a nice bundle of changeto the always dwindling coffers of thesmaller institutions. Coaches of the smallercolleges are almost unanimous against suchgames, claiming that a large number ofregulars are injured and lost for their biggames by being compelled to face a ruggedopponent which overwhelms its foe by superior man-power.
"Thus it was a complete surprise to us afew years ago when Morey, being questioned on the subject, came out emphatically and stated that he saw no real dangerin playing a major opponent like Harvard,Yale, Dartmouth, or Holy Cross in lateSeptember or early October.
"Morey is one of the smartest coaches inthe country. That fact wasn't determinedby the Yale game. It has been known andaccepted for many years in the coachingrealm. He makes the most of his material,gets the last ounce of play out of his boysand he teaches intelligent football."
