New York Association and Club
As this is being written, the presidential campaign is over and Roosevelt seems to be in. With the football season within a week of being definitely under the belt until 1933, we of New York are settling down from a busy fall.
The special train run by the Dartmouth Club of New York to Philadelphia for our game with Penn was unexpectedly well filled. And the Yale Special had its customary quota (in all departments!) with Mr. Earle and his accordion well backed by a sextet (not Floradora), keeping away any gloom occasioned by the recurrence of "dat ole dabbil," the Bowl Jinx.
Between these two week-ends the Dartmouth Club had a direct wire from the Harvard Stadium. Josh Davis '27 reinterpreted through a "mike." The entire game with much local color a la Ted Husing (a fertile imagination has that Davis lad) was broadcast to over two hundred rabid and excited fans.
It has been a very active autumn at the Club. The day before the Yale game found the Alumni Council meeting, with Hanover well represented in the persons of President Hopkins, Deans Craven Laycock, and E. Gordon Bill, and Sidney Hayward '26, secretary of the College, "Pudge" Neidlinger '23, new president of Athletic Council, together with "Jess" Hawley and "Red" Loudon, were also present.
On Thursday night a twenty-team duplicate bridge interclub match with the Yale Club, and earlier in the week 1931 held a class dinner at the Club with forty-two on deck.
On Wednesday, November 3, 1920 and 1921 combined with a dinner and entertainment. The famous Mills Brothers, radio stars extraordinary, were featured on a program which included Dave Embree and Roger Bird '21. The famous quartet with their guitar and that inimitable basshorn and clarinet effect stopped the show for sure.
The New York Club plans an active winter of interclub competition. The Yale Club succeeded in winning back the bridge challenge jug by a decisive margin. Captain "T" Brown 'O6 has ordered strict training, so look out, Eli! The squash and ping-pong teams will soon swing into active campaigning.
The Club has arranged with the Simmons Co. for the manufacture and sale of some new card tables. They will have inlaid Hanover scenes on top composed of a stainless and fireproof material. Any alumni interested in this innovation in bridge tables may see them and price them at the Dartmouth College Club.
Secretary.
