Dartmouth's in Town Again

THE MOST prominent Dartmouth New Yorker of the past few weeks (this is being written on or about the 11th of October) is, of course, Red Rolfe, class of 1931 and third baseman for the New York Yankees. Red did a tasty bit of ball playing to help push the Yanks into the championship of the Major Leagues, or, as they are sometimes called, the World, batting a healthy .400 to take second place among the regulars of both teams and allowing only one error to mar his fielding record. He received considerable credit from both radio commentators and sports reporters for his assistance in battering Jeff Tesreau's former teammates, and while the radio men insisted that he came from an unknown institution of learning called Dartmouth University, Dartmouth men knew better and rejoiced with Jeff at the showing made by the onetime Big Green captain.

Through some oversight on the part of the series officials, this correspondent was not given press seats for the intra-city clash, nor was he allowed to interview Mr. Rolfe; the Yankees apparently felt that he would give their third sacker (all baseball slang courtesy New York Daily News) nervous indigestion or some comparable ailment before an important game. He did, however, read all the papers diligently, so that he could fill half a column telling you what you have probably already read. This is a great secret of the columnist's trade which we are giving you almost for nothing, just because we feel that nothing is too good for Dartmouth men.
