Lou YOUNG STANDS OUT
Nothing of the sort happened. The game was practically a re-run of the Franklin and Marshall contest, both as to scores and playing ability. Lou Young was still his fighting self in the line and appears headed toward a brilliant climax to his career, Ray Wolfe continued his good work with no adequate blocking, and Bob Krieger showed that he is going to be a valuable end.
Outside of that, Dartmouth had little over which to cheer. After three minutes in the opening quarter Governali took the ball on his own 30 yard line, and, as his blockers bowled over one Dartmouth man after another, ran 70 yards for the touchdown. Again in the first half, Columbia, playing straight, hard football, ground out yardage against hapless Dartmouth for another score, which incidentally, was superfluous, for the final in this game was Columbia 20, Dartmouth 6, the only noteworthy point being that Lou Young missed the conversion after kicking every one to date.
Of course, when this piece is rolled off the press, Dartmouth will have met a Yale team whose record matches the Green's at this writing, and a Harvard team which chugged around against Amherst and then did surprisingly well against Tom Harmon and Michigan.
At this writing, the Indians appear to be in the worst losing cycle since Coach Earl Blaik came here in 1934. It is an amazing cycle, but hopes were pinned on the sophomores, who as freshmen last year, had bowled over Harvard, Brown, Holy Cross and Boston College. The answer to that might lie in a young fellow by the name of Koslowski, who was the blocking back for that freshman team. He was unable to report this fall, but at this writing has just joined the squad. It might be interesting to watch the progress of a man who plays an unsung position.
Coach Blaik lays the trouble to inexperience, and I find it hard to recall the day when Dartmouth started three sophomores in the backfield—perhaps some alumnus can. Here is Coach Blaik's thought after the Columbia game: "The team is terribly inexperienced. They haven't worked together as long as the Columbia team has. You know and I know that they made too many mistakes. It isn't that they aren't trying, because I believe they are. I still believe that they will improve tremendously over the next few weeks and will be playing good football before the season is out."
