CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 22.—Asthe MAGAZINE goes to press there is spaceonly to give the score and spectacular highlights of Harvard's defeat of the Big Green,10-y, at the stadium today.

With barely seconds to play and trailingby three points Dartmouth huddled on theHarvard 10-yard line, fourth down, andwisely chose to fake a drop kick andgamble all on a forward pass. The deception was perfect. Harvard rushed WilburPowers who feinted to kick and thenpassed to Dave Hedges on the goal linebut the pass was not easy to catch andwent incomplete. This left Harvard thewinner by virtue of a field goal by Quarterback Wells and a 93-yard runback ofthe second half kick-off by SubstitutePescosolido as against Dartmouth's lonetouchdown scored by George Hill from thethree-yard line. Dartmouth showed greatimprovement on both offense and defense.

Philadelphia, Penn Oct. 16—The Dartmouth season is now at the half-way mark, and as I write these words in a Philadelphia hotel I am wondering just where this Dartmouth team is going after watching the Indians bow to Pennsylvania yesterday by a 14-7 score.

Opinion is quite divided to date. The Dartmouth team started off with a little more than the usual momentum when Norwich was snowed under by a 73-0 score, and then Vermont provided a little more opposition before bowing 32-0. The team looked strong, but up to that point only straight football had been used and none of the new plays had been wheeled .into action. It was announced that the Lafayette game would be the first real test for the Indians and all the plays would come out of the mothballs.

That Lafayette contest was a real game, just as the Holy Cross game of the year before had provided its thrills. The visitors brought a hard charging team to Hanover which asked no quarter, and when little Sammy Fishman ran eight yards around . his left end in the third period, it was the only score of the game.
