With PHIL SHERMAN

The winter season is over, and we have learned the folly of boosting a team too soon. The crash of the Dartmouth basketball team was one that was heard round New England, and the Green pennant contenders, who had seemed so fraught with ability at the midway mark, slipped off badly at the end and the Eastern League standing showed five victories and five defeats in the final reckoning.

It was the hockey team which furnished the late season punch, for coming out of where, the team rose up in all its fury and downed Princeton in a sensational Merriwell game for the last fade-out. On that particular week-end, Dartmouth sports fans were treated to blazing individual feats of two of the greatest Dartmouth stars of this generation—Bill Morton and Wild Bill McCall.

It was Morton who closed his varsity career by looping the winning shot into the Princeton cage from the blue line with seconds to go, and it was McCall who led his basketball team, to a dazzling win over Yale to give the local rooters a last chance to cheer him on the local floor.

So with a fitting bow, these two grand campaigners closed their careers in Hanover, and the two fellows who helped Dartmouth most on the gridiron last Fall gave us a new glimpse of them in the roles of heroes on other fields of honor. Neither enjoyed a successful season as far as his team was concerned, but both rose above mediocrity in the final test and wrote finis to their careers with a firm hand.
