On Saturday afternoon, October 21, about seventy of the members of the Association gathered at the Charles River Country Club on the occasion of the "first annual Dartmouth alumni fall get-together-outing," so called. The athletes, about forty in number, played golf, while the non-athletes stayed in the Club House and listened to a play-by-play telegraphic report of the Pennsylvania game. The golf prizes went to Ray Gorton 1910, for best gross and Herbert M. Uline 1911, for best net. Ray Gorton's score, by the way, was 79. The principal guest of the Association for the afternoon was Francis Ouimet, who made a short talk at the dinner afterward. The party was very ably run by Doane Arnold 1927, assisted by Homer Tilton 1925 and Gus Cummings 1927.

After the Harvard game a large group of the members of the Association appeared at the Copley Plaza for the dinner dance. It was a little more difficult than usual to distinguish them from those attending the regular hotel party, due to the fact that there was no occasion for great celebration or serious drowning of sorrows.

There were about a hundred members at the University Club on the Saturday afternoon of the Yale game, listening to the Association telegraphic report of the game. Bill St. Amant 1927 did the blackboard charting. It is a fact that he got the score right, but how close the charted game came to the actual one, nobody will ever know.

Although prospects for success at Princeton do not, at the present moment, look too good, the fifty staterooms reserved on the New York boat by the Association have been taken up for some time past, and a good party, if not a good game, seems in the offing.

As tentative plans stand now, the annual dinner of the Association will be held on Saturday, January 20. It is already practically an assured fact that the members will have the pleasure of hearing both President Hopkins and Dean Laycock.
