FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS
December 1934 C. E. Widmayer '30

Dartmouth's current football season must be chalked up to Experience. It has been a key year in the gridiron history of the College, with new methods introduced and green material tutored to provide the continuity which makes the seasons hang together under any successful regime. No sensational record marks the advent of Earl Blaik and his aides, still all hands must be satisfied with the results achieved against heavy odds and with the plentiful evidences that the Big Green is headed for bigger and better things.

The greatest odds against which the Green coaches have had to wage an allseason battle have been sub-average material and injuries. And one might, with some justice, include the Dartmouth schedule in the list. Nevertheless, the Indians gave an excellent account of themselves in beating Harvard, 10 to o; had Yale on the run in the second half of the game lost by a 7-2 score; and bogged down really badly only in the Cornell contest, which the Ithacans won from Dartmouth's makeshift eleven, 21 to 6. Although not a major opponent, New Hampshire gave the Big Green a tough afternoon before succumbing, 21 to 7, in the game scheduled as a breather between the Yale and Cornell encounters.

Dartmouth's Most Dangerous Play in the Bowl The silver-panted Indians gained most of their yardage in the Yale game by means of end sweeps, and here we have Phil Conti, diminutive right halfback, skirting the Blue's right wing for a 10-yard advance and first down.
