HOLY CROSS UNBELIEVABLE
Before coming to Hanover to watch Dartmouth practice, we took the opportunity of seeing at first hand the power and size of the Holy Cross squad. It is almost unbelievable after seeing a land of scarcity where one good first eleven is considered a gift from Heaven. At Worester the fourth team is huge, and that's no deviation from the complete truth.
As for Harvard, the Crimson is on the upward road. Coach Harlow will have backs this year and a fairly substantial line with replacements. His players this year will know Harlow's system and, what is more important, he will know his players. Likewise Yale and Cornell have gained added strength in sophomore replacements, Yale having the better of the gain in that the Eli will have a veteran nucleus on which to work.
Princeton again appears too powerful for the Green and any other team in the East, with perhaps Holy Cross as a match for the Tigers. Princeton is strong this year, it will be strong next year, because a steady flow of great football men are matriculating through her doors season after season. Almost as though, "he who has one loaf of bread shall receive two, and he who has none shall go hungry."
Columbia should find an entirely different Dartmouth eleven this year in comparison to the listless and unconcerned BigGreen team that looked so forlorn on Baker field last fall. This time the Indians will be in the midst of their season. This time there will be no overconfident relapses of judgment. Everything should be DARTMOUTH, despite the fact that Lou Little wrings his sponge of material to a Sahara dryness.
As we write this, we sit smack on the 50yard line of the varsity field. Without undue effort it is very easy to look forward to the Saturday afternoon when a mad crowd will witness first the Norwich game with its military color on a small scale, then the Vermont game in which Dartmouth will begin to show better timing, better teamwork and concentrated power against the plucky visitors.
Again another Saturday when the tables will be reversed and this time Dartmouth shall be the little hosts to a big opponent. Next a rejuvenated Brown opponent. Then the scene shifts and does not come back again until Columbia arrives for the last home game. But win or lose, football is in the air here on Memorial field and the blood of the fans begins to run warm and soon the boiling point will be approaching. It borders on the fanatic, but it is the very heart of the collegiate pulse.
Broadcasts Arrangements have been completed by the Athletic Council for broadcasting several of the home football games this fall. The Holy Cross and Brown contests will be on the air over Station WEEI of Boston, which covers all New England. Negotiations are also in progress for broadcasting the Holy Cross and Columbia games over Station WINS of New York City, which is picked up throughout New York State and New Jersey.
