October-November 1920

October 1920, which should have been reviewed in this column last month, was too busy a period to leave out of the record entirely. As sophomores the boys were taking their places on college organizations from which as freshmen we were barred. A dozen men made the football squad. Fletcher was sophomore soccer star. Couch and Howe were semi-finalists in the fall tennis championship. Bishop, Corrigan, Keith, Myers, Sweeney, and Briscoe were listed for an Outing Club tour of the Presidential Range. On the Glee club: Fitts, Jetter, Booth, Brooks, Howard, Palmer, Turnbull, Conley, Gauss, Ripple, Schultz, and Stadlinger. The Mandolin club signed up Deering, Jefferson, Kimball King, Martin, and Maynard—but not apparently, Mox Hubert later to be our mier banjoist but at this time appeai only in the following advertisement in Dartmouth: "If you want a good Eru tenor banjo cheap see M. D. Hubert Topliff" Dartmouth night was thrilling to us .... a straw vote resulted in a lan| slide for Harding but political rallies cop tinued unchecked .... the second currey Dartmouth murder case filled the paper with accounts of the mysterious shootino in Philadelphia of Elmer Drewes, a senior" and the indictment of his friend and rival in love, a Pennsylvania student j, football victories over Norwich and Holv Cross were insignificant compared with big game losses to Penn State and Syracuse The turn out to welcome home the team from Penn State has never been equaled as a display of college spirit In the November games, Cornell was beaten 14-5 in the Polo Grounds and Penn swamped 44-7. Everyone went to Boston to see Brown edged 14-6 by a team trying to remain uninjured for the trip to the coast. Remember Whitney Hall at Coolidge Corner when Dick Willis played and the Copley parties where Breglio was king: .... Six men of the class made the trip to Seattle and helped beat Washington 28-; —Burke, Smith, Gordon, AschenbaA Lynch (who made two touchdowns) Moort and Neidlinger .... a great trip filled with irrevocable memories and covered in ThtDartmouth by daily dispatches sent bad by Bill Cunningham. Thanksgiving sent many home on the last Thursday of the month—without argument.
