FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS
December 1935 C. E. W. '30

ALTHOUGH THE SEASON is only four-fifths over at this writing, you can definitely put down 1935 as one of the immortal years in Dartmouth's gridiron history. Alumni who have worked up a fine frenzy over the deceased and unmourned Yale Jinx will insist that this is the year in the Big Green football saga that stretches from 1881 and "Cap" Howland down to the current season of Captain Jack Kenny and Coach Earl Blaik and "Popeye" Ray. And perhaps they are right.

Family debates aside, however, the delectable fact is that the Big Green eleven has not only accomplished the neatest bit of jinx-slaying of all time but has also rolled up eight straight victories to equal the records of the Dartmouth teams of 1911 and 1925. Opening their major campaign against Brown, after preliminary triumphs over Norwich, Vermont and Bates, the Indians have successively scalped the Bruins, Harvard, Yale, William and Mary, and Cornell, rolling up 389 points in the process, and at this juncture stand with Princeton at the head of the "Ivy Conference."
