DARTMOUTH 41, BROWN 0

Against the less stalwart opposition of Brown on October 16 the Indians muddled along, but once more their explosive qualities came in handy and most of their six touchdowns were rushed across in lightning-like thrusts. Hutchinson presaged his Harvard performance with a gala day, scoring twice and running and kicking brilliantly. The accurate right arm of Fred Hollingworth tossed three touchdown passes, two zooming into the hands of Warren King and the other into the hands of Bob MacLeod. The sixth touchdown was rushed over by Colby Howe after a sustained march. Defensively, the Indians proved a very stubborn lot, limiting the Bruins to 60 yards by rushing and 23 by passes. Captain Davis, Miller, Schildgen, Feeley and Dostal turned in fine performances in stopping the Brown attack.

It was not wholly impatience, nor was it lack of acquaintance with the fact that it is a young and inexperienced team that Dartmouth fields this year. Even those who fully realize that a co-ordinated attack can- not be built in a week, or even a month, were discouraged with the first-game show- ing of the Indians. For even the funda- mentals of football were badly executed.

Perhaps it was the hot day, or perhaps it was the jittery-ness of the nine men who started their first varsity football game. Anyhow, Dartmouth was no team to write home about in proud terms.

Against Amherst there was little improvement, and only the accurate arm of Hollingworth, which accounted for three scores, saved the Indians from a very small score.

But all the time the coaches worked hard and carefully, and by the Springfield game the Indians were beginning to assume the proportions of a big college eleven.

In the one quarter that Coach Blaik used his regulars against the Gymnasts, they were able to run up a 21-0 score, which isn't a bad 15 minutes' work. In fact, it didn't take the full 15 minutes.

And the outlook for the Dartmouth eleven changed immediately. Not so much from the fact that the Big Green rah up a large score. It was the second and third teams that were responsible for the high total.

What did give encouragement was the blocking handed out by the Injuns to the visitors. At last the plays took on a picture of smoothness. The backs were running their routes as instructed, and the general zip and pepper of the Big Greens was noticeably better all-around.

One of the things that held up the velopment of this fall's Dartmouth eleven was the unsettled condition of the first line-up until the third game.

Positions in the backfield had to be changed constantly. The same thing was true at the left end berth, the left tackle berth, and the right guard post.

An early season shoulder injury, though slight, kept quarterback Harry Gates out of top form until the Springfield engagement. A slow start in several ways has still retarded veteran left tackle, Vernon "Moose" Taylor; but junior tackle Larry Dilkes, out last year on scholastic probation, hastened the settlement of the position by rushing headlong through the ranks of the tackles to grab the berth for himself.

Another slight injury, this time Gus Zitrides' ankle, has created an uncertainty at right guard for the last three weeks. No candidate was thought to have a better chance for a starting call than veteran left end Larry Hull. But as it became more and more apparent that Hull was going to be slow in recovering from his absence from football for a year, sophomore Whit Miller, captain of the 1940 Dartmouth eleven, was shifted from right to left end, and seems to be permanently established at his new wing.
