Sammy Fishman

You can write your own story on Fishman. Last year we all were saying that he was good, but when Sammy came to the major games on the schedule he fractured his ankle and was lost to the team for the entire season, so he never had a chance to prove himself against strong teams. He was in the Columbia game, but only as substitute to Bill Morton, who played iron man ball thereafter.

At this writing Ike Powers has replaced Bill Clark in the backfield and Bill Embry, on the strength of his showing here has moved up to Harold Mackey's position at end. Embry, like Glazer is a Southerner, hailing from Louisville, and he is a quiet and soft-spoken lad. Glazer, the Memphis marvel, doesn't say much either, except that "Ah just had mah luck" when questioned on his wonderful showing against Penn.

Penn had the tackling edge. Fellows like Colehower and Yablonski came in fast and hit hard. Heaven help the Dartmouth back who failed to follow his interference, as several did. Two or three times Powers tried to go wide and the fleetest of the Green runners was absolutely ganged when he was wide off his flanks alone and even Fishman was not immune from a hard spill when he tried to go it alone.

The statistics showed that Dartmouth piled up 12 first downs to Penn's 6, although the Green trailed in yards gained by rushing 161-140, but it must be remembered that 51 of the Quaker yards were picked up on one play.

The third Penn touchdown, which was not allowed, brought up an unusual situation. In the final period, Bill Clark dropped back to punt. The line failed to hold Colehower of Penn who was in fast and blocked the ball, Engle scooping it up and running to the goal. But in the excitement Referee Crowell had inadvertently blown his whistle and the ball had to be brought back to the 27-yard line and given to Penn. There was nothing that could be done about it, and Walter Okeson, high commissioner of officials who saw the game, showed us the rule very definitely in the book.

As things turned out, it made no difference as far as the result was concerned, but it would have been ground for a great deal of discussion if Dartmouth had tied the score.

We are not downhearted at this stage of the season, whatever may be in store. In the final analysis, Dartmouth resorted to its favorite play, the forward pass, and honors were about even. For in the second period Roald Morton dropped back on his own 20-yard line to let loose a looping toss over the line. Morton had evidently picked Trost as a receiver, but the play seemed hazardous considering the time and place to pull it. As it was, Collis came tearing in and intercepted the ball for the touchdown. In the last period the forward pass gave Dartmouth its only score.

The team has been brought along in fine physical shape and the men at this stage are all set for the games to come.

The Philadelphia alumni, we hear, put on a good before-the-game show and there was a downtown get-together.
