GREEN POWER BEGINS TO TELL

Dartmouth's power began to show itself toward the end of the third period. A 70-yard march which carried to Yale's 10- yard line ended with Rand's fumble and Yale's taking the ball on downs. Shortly after, the Indians blocked a pair of kicks and were able to garner only two points out of the whole uproarious business. Gordon Bennett blocked the first punt, which Curtin was attempting to get off near his own goal line, and after a mad scramble, Scott recovered for Yale on the 1-yard line. Curtin tried another punt, this time from deep in his end zone, but Billings charged through and flung himself in front of the ball, which again bounded here and there until it rolled clear beyond the end zone and automatically became a safety. It was the toughest break of the game.

Yale was exhausted in the final quarter, while a steady stream of reserves kept the Indian eleven moving at full speed. A Green touchdown seemed inevitable as Blaik's charges marched down the field. The Dartmouth attack carried, amidst bedlam from the stands, to Yale's 12-yard line. Here the Big Green chose to disregard the means which had propelled it forward, and directed its running attack at the center of the Blue line. Yale's desperate linemen refused to give, and when Chamberlain was swamped on an at- tempted pass on fourth down, Dartmouth's last scoring opportunity had melted away.

The game was a worthy addition to the long list of thrillers which make up the Dartmouth-Yale series. It produced the usual amount of disappointment among the Green followers, but Yale had been through the fire of several major games and proved itself the better opportunist. A crowd of nearly 45,000 persons saw the Battle of the Bowl, which was an especially gratifying feature to members of the Athletic Council.
