FOLLOWING THE BIG GREEN TEAMS
February 1936

FOOTBALL MANAGES to stay in the news, this month through the joint announcement of Dartmouth's 1937 schedule and of a renewal of gridiron relations with Stanford in 1938 and 1939. The two-year series with Stanford will be inaugurated on the Pacific Coast in 1938, with a return engagement to be played in some unannounced eastern stadium in the following year.

The surprise of the 1937 schedule is the appearance of Amherst as the Big Green's second opponent, instead of Vermont. Springfield is scheduled for the third game, Princeton is to be played on the Saturday following the Yale game, and Columbia is the final opponent of the season. Amherst was Dartmouth's very first football foe back in 1881, and for many years filled a traditional spot on the Big Green schedule. The Lord Jeffs have not played football in Hanover since 1915, but rivalry for the favor of Smith girls has maintained intercollegiate relations of a sort.

The complete 1937 schedule was an- nounced as follows: Sept. 25 Norwich. Oct. 2 Amherst. 9 Springfield. 16 Brown 23 Harvard at Cambridge. 30 Yale at New Haven. Nov. 6 Princeton at Princeton. 13 Cornell. 20 Columbia at New York.

With the exception of Pennsylvania, all the "Ivy League" members are represented on the 1937 schedule, and although the formation of a league may not be actually at hand, there is evidently a predisposition among the "ivy" colleges to stick together in the maintenance of amateur standards in intercollegiate football. Except for the second- and third-game opponents, the 1937 schedule is simply a rearrangement of the schedule for this coming fall, which reads as follows: Sept. 26 Norwich. Oct. 3 Vermont. 10 Holy Cross. 17 Brown. 24 Harvard at Cambridge. 31 Yale at New Haven. Nov. 7 Columbia. 14 Cornell at Ithaca. 21 Princeton at Princeton.

Dartmouth and Stanford last met in 1931. when the Indians of the Pacific Coast journeyed to the Harvard stadium to outclass the Big Green by a 38-6 score. At Palo Alto the year before, Dartmouth narrowly went down to defeat, 14 to 7, after a remarkable exhibition by the Morton-to-McCall passing combination.

A Mark to Shoot At Dartmouth's Olympic skiers left behind this collection of trophies to be duplicated by the 1935-36 ski team. "Bern" Woods and his mates have started with a decisive victory at Lake Placid.
