FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS

During the first big football rally of the fall, Jack Cannell told a packed audience in Webster Hall that football is essentially a game of spirit. And if ever a statement was borne out, this one was by a fighting Dartmouth team that came back with an inspired rush in the second half of the Pennsylvania game and triumphed 14-7 for the first major victory that a Big Green eleven has brought back to Hanover in two seasons. Just what took place in the Dartmouth dressing room between the halves hasn't leaked out as yet, but something caused a complete transformation in a team that was lucky to be trailing by only seven points and that seemed destined for defeat.

The story of the game has two distinct chapters, and from the Dartmouth point of view, the second one comes first. When Phil Glazer led his team mates on the field at the start of the second half, the 40,000 spectators little suspected that the sparks of football drama had been kindled during the rest period, or that the role of hero was about to be bestowed upon "Jocko" Stangle, Dartmouth's hard-running quarterback, who was getting his first big chance in a major game only because Sammy Fishman had been injured two weeks before. Pennsylvania had dominated every department of play in the opening half, and costly fumbles alone had hindered her from scoring more than the one touchdown which had been pushed across when Ed Lewis romped 8 yards around the Green's left end on a surprise play.

BIG GREEN GOES TO WORK

The third quarter had hardly got under way when Don Kellett muffed a punt from the toe of Rollie Morton and Moe Frankel, who had replaced Stearns at center, recovered for Dartmouth on the Quakers' 22 yard line. Then the Big Green went to work. The running attack began to function, the blocking became decisive, and the line surged forward with real drive. Ike Powers, the fancy open-field runner, smashed through tackle for 6 yards. Another rush failed to gain much ground, and then Stangle sped off Penn's right tackle behind first-class blocking and was away for a 16-yard dash to the goal line. Three of the Red and Blue secondaries had a chance to bring the Green quarterback down, but he sidestepped and straightarmed his way through them and arrived safely in the end zone. Bob Michelet converted the extra point with a placement kick, and it became anybody's ball game once more.

The Dartmouth rooters received a real scare a few plays after the kick-off following Dartmouth's tying touchdown. Shanahan punted from his own 35-yard line, and as the ball seemed about to roll outside on Dartmouth's 37-yard line it took a funny hop and struck Ike Powers who was waiting for the ball to be ruled out. John Pennypacker, Quaker end, had the ball in a flash and was off for what appeared to be a touchdown. In fact, the befuddled officials brought the ball out for the extra point, before the vociferous protests of Dartmouth made much of an impression. Then it was agreed that Powers had technically committed a fumble, and that the ball had been dead at the point at which Pennypacker recovered it. The fact that the ball took one bounce on the ground before the Penn end caught it saved the day for the Green. To climax the whole weird episode, the officials gave the ball to Penn on the 27-yard line instead of the 37yard line, and the period went on without further excitement.

Midway through the final quarter, with Dartmouth being held at bay by the magnificent punting of Don Kellett, the tide swung round with dramatic sudden- ness. Stangle, the fair-haired boy of the day, took one of Kellett's kicks on the 10-yard line and returned it 20 yards before being forced outside. The Dartmouth quarter- back decided to use a spinner play for the first time, and it completely fooled the Quaker defense as Bill Clark raced through the middle of the line for 25 yards. With the team functioning beautifully under his command, Stangle next decided that it was time to take to the air. A long pass, Morton to Camp, barely missed connection, and then Harry Deckert faded back and tossed the ball to Stangle, who had slipped unguarded into the right flat zone. The Green quarterback was on the 35-yard line when he tucked the ball under his arm, and it was quite an assignment to make this second trip to the end zone, but he again outsmarted the Penn secondaries and as Kellett attempted to force him outside on the five-yard stripe he hurled himself through the air and slid across the goal line with the winning touchdown. Michelet dropped back from his guard position and again converted the extra point, and the Big Green was "in." A third touchdown was almost added after Powers intercepted one of Kellett's passes on Penn's 45-yard line, but the Indian drive ended at the 12-yard mark when a forward pass failed on fourth down.

FIRST HALF A BAD DREAM

In comparison with Dartmouth's intelligent and aggressive football after the intermission, the first half seems like a bad dream. The Green running attack was good for only 32 yards in 19 tries, and a single first down was produced when Powers swept around end toward the close of the half. Most of Dartmouth's defensive work in this chapter had to be done by the secondaries, with the Indian linemen being sucked in by Penn's deceptive Warner attack. Fumbles halted two of the Quakers' touchdown marches, and Stangle had a busy time as safety man with Kellett and Shanahan constantly slipping through the line and close secondary. Penn's touchdown came in the second quarter, after Lima had intercepted a Dartmouth pass and carried the ball close to the Green 35-yard line. Just five plays were needed to score. A rush was good for a couple of yards, a Kellett-to-Pennypacker pass was good for 15 more, and two other running plays produced a first down on the 8-yard line. Here the Quakers pulled a surprise play and sent Ed Lewis, their blocking back, around Dartmouth's left end for a touchdown. It was the first touchdown the Red and Blue interferer had scored in his three years of varsity play.

The honors of the day rightfully belong to "Jocko" Stangle, whose competitive spirit and natural leadership have been largely confined to the basketball court during the past two years, but a number of Dartmouth reserves are also deserving of high praise. Moe Frankel, who as second-string center last season saw only five minutes of major service, played a great second half both offensively and defensively, and it was through his alertness that Dartmouth recovered Kellett's fumble and set the stage for the tying touchdown. Dick Carpenter played ferocious football at left end, after replacing Embry, and when he blocked out Lewis on Stangle's first touchdown jaunt the Penn back was hit so hard that he was knocked out for the first time since he has been playing football for the Red and Blue. Don Erion, a sophomore from Buffalo, replaced Hagerman at left tackle when the regular was injured early in the game, and he played with all the fire and dash of his 200 pounds. Myron Ritter, converted from center to guard this year, filled in the gap when Silverman's ankle gave out on him, and on defense and in leading the interference his work left little to be desired. Deckert, Clark, Powers and Morton also did yeoman duty in reserve roles.

With Stangle scintillating in the backfield and a quartet of reserves flaming in the line during that great second half, Captain Phil Glazer at right tackle and Bob Michelet at left guard stuck out the entire contest and upheld the end of the seasoned veterans. With Michelet, Erion and Carpenter holding down the left side of the line, Glazer, Ritter and Camp supplying equal dash on the right side, and Frankel hopping in and out of the center berth, the Big Green line hurled the Quakers back on their heels once it began to realize itself as a powerful unit. If anything encouraging came out of this battle on Franklin Field, it was the second-half showing of the Green line. Jack Cannell has had few doubts about his backfield strength this year, but up until this game he had no indication that his line might attain real drive.

The Dartmouth attack in the Penn game, as in the early victories over Norwich, Vermont and Bates, had little variation but depended upon power and hard blocking to make it go. The story of the early games is largely the story of the development of this straightforward attack. For Jack Cannell has definitely decided this season to cast aside all the frills of last year, including the combination Warner-Rockne shift and the double and triple reverses inspired by Stanford's performances, and to go in for football that is fundamentally sound first and fancy only after that. Speed, blocking, and guts—as signs in the Davis Field House continually remind the squad—are the main requirements in the Dartmouth gridiron camp. This return to fundamentals places a premium upon man power, and Coach Cannell is now in the process of building up reserve strength that will enable the Big Green machine to function without let-up no matter who is on the field.

Into this new scheme of things the Green coach is determined to work an effective forward passing attack. Power on land and deception in the air make evil companions as far as the opposition is concerned. Intensive work on passes has been a feature of Dartmouth's practice to date, but it is evident that Coach Cannell intends these aerials to play a subordinate role and that he is well aware of the increased effectiveness of a running attack when the defense must also protect itself from passes arising out of the same formation.

Norwich, although defeated 40-0 in the opening game, frequently stopped the Green line thrusts by playing what was practically a nine-man line. And the Indians could do nothing about it because they had no passes to throw. The Green regulars gave the usual opening-game crowd the surprise of its life when they failed to score more than one touchdown during the first half. The first quarter was scoreless, and but for one sustained march which resulted in Morton's going over for a touchdown the half would have ended the same way.

The Dartmouth reserves came to the rescue in the second half and piled up six touchdowns, three of them coming late in the game through the brilliant work of Normie Rand, former Salem High School star, who probably wouldn't have been injected into the game at all if Powers hadn't dislocated his finger just after tossing a pass to Stangle. The 155-pound halfback scurried through the Cadets for two touchdowns, on runs of 10 and 14 yards, and then tossed a long pass to Sammy Fishman that was good for 55 yards of ground and another touchdown. All this happened in about five minutes, and the stands were agog with visions of another Albie Booth. Mr. Rand, however, had a miserable day against Vermont on the following Saturday, and he had very little opportunity against Bates and Pennsylvania to show whether this five-minute performance was a flash in the pan or the real goods.

Following this opening contest, Coach Cannell declared that he would take up no more plays until he was satisfied with the showing in fundamentals. The Big Green entered the Vermont encounter with the same meager attack, but the regulars took matters into their own hands this time and blocked and tackled their way to a 39-6 victory. Stung into action, after being shown up by the reserves on the preceding week-end, the first string team cleaned out beautifully and the backs romped through wide gaps in the Catamount line. Stangle replaced the injured Fishman in this contest and began to uncork the sparkling play which continued right on through the Penn game.

Vermont, however, scored its first touchdown in the history of the Dartmouth series, by way of the air, and the encouraging improvement in blocking was somewhat offset by the newly discovered weakness on pass defense.

Real stress on forward passes began during the week of the Bates game, but the Indians threw very few against Dave Morey's team and earned a scant 14-0 victory by means of the same power plays, originating from a single wingback formation, but minus a good bit of the effective blocking of the preceding week-end. End runs by Powers and Stangle produced the touchdowns, and fumbles, which totalled eight for the afternoon, halted other scores almost as effectively as Bates' sturdy defense. Dartmouth's score did not compare very favorably with the 33-0 drubbing Harvard gave the same eleven, but three of the Crimson touchdowns were made through the air, while Dartmouth sputtered along with a ground attack that included a half dozen new and unpolished plays.

These three early games which preceded the start of major hostilities against Pennsylvania served to rate the wealth of backfield material with some degree of finality. Jack Hill, whose triple-threat abilities make him a stand-out among the Green halfbacks, saw his first action of the season against Bates, and true to expecta- tions he started the Penn game at left half. Stangle and Jack Kenny also got the start- ing call at quarterback and right half, but the first-string combination was broken up by the absence of Dave Hedges, fullback, who was forced to lay off for a week because of a knee injury received in the Bates encounter. Following this quartet are Norm Rand, quarterback, Ike Powers and Rollie Morton, halfbacks, and Harry Deckert, fullback. The loss of Fishman, probably for the remainder of the season, necessitated the changing of Rand, who had a field day against Norwich, from left half to quarterback. A third combination of ball carriers includes Tauno Frigard, quarterback, Bill Clark and Bob Bennett, halfbacks, and Rudy Pacht, fullback.

The work of reserves in the Penn game will probably cause some changes in the line, but the opening of the major campaign found the following ratings: Left end, Embry, Carpenter, and Mack; left tackle, Hagerman, Erion, and O'Hare; left guard, Michelet, Hulsart, and Lapidus; center, Stearns, Frankel, and Butler; right guard, Silverman, Sweeney, and Ritter; right tackle, Glazer, Conathan, and Kiarsis; right end, Camp, Arthurs, and Mebel.

Although it has nothing to do with the account of the Big Green eleven, the comment might be included here that Jack Cannell bids fair to set a record for making speeches this fall. The Dartmouth coach has already made three addresses in Hanover—at the Freshman Reception soon after College opened, at the first of a series of football rallies the night before the Bates game, and amidst the comparative quiet of the Graduate Club on October 25-and his schedule calls for talks at the meeting of the Alumni Council in New York on November 10 and at the huge stag dinner which will be held in Chicago the night before the Dartmouth-Chicago game.

The Little Green

After defeating Clark School, 20 to o, and Roxbury School, 7 to 0, in its early games, the Dartmouth freshman eleven ran up against a strong yearling club from the University of New Hampshire on October 21 and was held to a 6-6 tie. Games with the Harvard and Yale freshmen round out the season's schedule.

Tony Geniawicz, 200-pound halfback who formerly starred for Clark School, has been prominent in a backfield that also includes J. B. Handrahan, quarterback, J. W. Keirnan, halfback, and H. C. Whitaker, fullback. The yearling line is made up of J. T. Merrill, left end; Captain D. N. Otis, left tackle; J. R. Gribbon, left guard; C. P. Ray, center; D. M. Camerer, right guard; G. P. Bennett, right tackle; and P. A. Johnson, right end. P. S. Conti, P. L. Lefebvre, and R. R. Ratayczack have been outstanding among the reserve backs.

Team B of the freshman squad played one game this fall and lost to JTilton Academy, 14 to 7.

Soccer

Tommy Dent's soccer team has achieved a creditable record so far this fall, even though it dropped a stirring battle to the powerful Springfield club, 1 to 0, on October 21. The Green booters, led by Ralph Brabbee, Ail-American outside left from Bronxville, N. Y., have turned back the Rensselaer Polytechnic outfit 3-1, and the Fitchburg State Teachers, victors over Harvard, by a 3-2 score.

Dean Gidney, sophomore from Ridgewood, N. J., has led the team in scoring to date. Others prominent for all-around play have been Sam Watts and Ed Harvey, fullbacks; Bob Allabough, Henry Werner, and Ken Webster in the half line; Bill Curtis, Frank Wright, John Shelmire, and John Gilbert in the forward line; and Junie Allen, goal. With all of his available goalies injured for the Springfield contest, Coach Dent was forced to groom "Babe" Shea, goalie on Dartmouth's undefeated lacrosse team last spring, for the post.

Cross-Country

Although Hartness Beardsley, Dartmouth sophomore from Springfield, Vt., led the field home in the triangular crosscountry meet with Harvard and New Hampshire at Cambridge on October 20, the Green runners took third place as their state rivals retained the New England championship. The score: New Hampshire 26 points, Harvard 39, Dartmouth 72.

Captain Frank Lepreau, in 13th place, was the second Dartmouth runner to finish. Lindsey Brigham finished 18th, Dana Johnson 19th, David Putnam 21st, Charles Dubay 23d, Donald W. Alexander 24th, and Philip D. Mclnnis 26th.

Bob Quimby, junior runner from Montclair, N. J., who was probably the outstanding man on the Green squad, was advised by Coach Harvey Cohn to give up crosscountry when he developed a muscular ailment that might have hindered his running the middle distances on the track team later on.

Fall Baseball

Dartmouth's baseball team was providing box scores along with the Giants and Senators in October. Jeff Tesreau's club played another series of fall games with town teams around Hanover, and turned in the very creditable record of four victories in five contests. Lebanon found the Green nine off stride in the opening game and won, 4 to 2, but the Indians took the remaining four games in a row. Lebanon, Hanover twice, and Penacook were the victims.

The appearance with Penacook of "Red" Rolfe, former Dartmouth captain now with Newark in the International League, featured the fall series. Rolfe blasted a terrific homer to center field, but Bob Miller held the rest of the visiting batters in check for a 6-2 victory.

Bob Miller, Buster Snow, Hafey Arthur, Jim McHugh, and Frank Spain were some of the varsity men from last season who saw action, while Bill Pounder, freshman captain of last year, Phil Clark, and Ted Olson showed up well among the sophomores.

Polo

Polo is the latest sport to be added to the Dartmouth list, and what the newly formed club lacks in numbers it makes up for in enthusiasm. Informal games have already been played with Norwich and Andover, and the Harvard Jayvees are to be met soon.

Early practice was held on a field south of the new Tuck School group, but the Dartmouth club has recently leased a field of its own just beyond the town line and there is already talk of stables and ponies.

Leaders of the new movement are Reece Hatchitt '36, Beechhurst, N. Y.; Leonard S. Florsheim Jr. '36, Chicago, 111.; Charles F. Delbridge Jr. '36, Grosse Point, Mich.; Homer T. Gregory '34, Berlin, N. H.; Robert H. Collins '35, New Bedford, Mass.; and Melville N. Rothschild Jr. '35, Chicago, Ill. Delbridge and Florsheim are rated one goal each by the U. S. Polo Association.

Sport Notes

Football letters will be awarded this season for 15 minutes' play in any one of the major games with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Pennsylvania, and Chicago.

The Harvard, Yale, and New Hampshire games have been designated as numeral contests for freshman football.

The track, swimming, and gym squads are getting a head start on pre-season training, and the winter sports team has been assembled since October 2, at which time a series of hikes and cross-country runs was inaugurated for conditioning purposes. Bob Michelet, veteran guard on the Big Green eleven, will captain the track team this year; and Jack Shea, Olympic skating champion, will lead the winter-sporters.

Robert G. Husted '35, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., successfully defended his College tennis championship by defeating Paul Guibord '36, of Melrose, Mass., 6-1, 6-8, 6-4, 6-3, in a final match that produced some sparkling tennis. The doubles title went to Robert E. Roundey '35, of Douglaston, N. Y„ and Ralph H. Seeley Jr. '35, of Rutland, Vt., when they defeated Husted and Gerald M. Hall '34, tennis captain from Concord, N. H., in a long match, 7-5, 2-6, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3. Husted holds the New England intercollegiate championship.

The College golf championship was won in October by Maxwell R. Feinberg '35, of New York City, who defeated Stephen R. Ryder '35, of Ridgewood, N. J., one up in the final match.

All Dartmouth athletes are now obliged to sign a training code before each season's activity. Adopted unanimously at a meeting of the coaches and endorsed by Palaeopitus, it provides that players shall automatically be dropped from any squad if they violate training rules.

According to figures recently released by the Intramural Department, more than 1000 students are competing in the various touch-football leagues. In addition to the usual fraternity, dormitory, and class leagues, the Graduate School League and Extra-Curricular League, involving about 150 students, have been added this fall.

Opponents' Records

Following are the scores through October 28 of the major opponents to be faced by Dartmouth during November. As the football season swings into its objective month, only Princeton among the Big Green opponents remains undefeated, and the Tigers came close to being dropped from the select class by a surprisingly good eleven from Washington and Lee.
