FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS With Phil Sherman

There is quite a hodge-podge of athletic news this month—some good, some not so good—a welter of notes which we shall take from the boiling pot one by one.

The best piece of news was the least surprising, for everyone seemed to know that at some time in the very near future Princeton and Dartmouth would get together again on the football field and a traditional relationship in sport would once more be cemented.

But the startling suddenness of the cementing came as a surprise, for while it was generally bruited about in the press that the Indians and Tigers would mix in 1934, the announcement that told of the first game of the new series this fall was unexpected.

So a salute to the athletic authorities at New Hampshire and Lehigh for their generous last-minute withdrawals from the respective schedules of Dartmouth and Princeton, which paved the way for the game. Here is a hope that New Hampshire and Lehigh might get together themselves on that date, and if not, find attractive opponents.

To the middleaged alumni, the return of Princeton to a Dartmouth football schedule will conjure up many memories of sensational games in a series which held as much color and closeness of scores as any succession of games Dartmouth has been privileged to play before or since. A glance at the yellowed records shows names, runs, kicks and dates, and we of the newer Dartmouth generation can only imagine what games were played in those days.

Right on top of the closing of the Dartmouth-Princeton gap came the news that Harvard and Princeton have also agreed to bury the football hatchet starting in 1934, thus rounding out a quartet of time-honored rivals of the gridiron. For, including Yale in the list as a tried and trusted opponent although difficult to beat, in 1934 all four institutions will play each other. Dartmouth's revised schedule is printed elsewhere in this section.
