On Other Fields
Dartmouth this fall introduced a football innovation that was the first step in bringing the student body and the team close together. Instead of the usual "Closed Practice" signs that formerly were hung on the gates of Memorial Field, Coach Blaik this year suggested a "Side Line Coaches Club" for the team's loyal supporters. Nearly a thousand membership cards were issued, with the club's membership book showing a happy mingling of students, faculty, townspeople, alumni college visitors that indicates the enthusiasm with which the idea was received. A special cheering section was reserved tor club members at the early season home games.
Dartmouth's freshmen soccer team IS fall was undefeated in five games...The varsity had an unusual season albeit a fine one. There were four tie games, two vie tories and one defeat, and Coach Tommy Dent's pulse will never be the same again after all the excitement of overtime contests.. . . The freshman cross-country team turned out to be the best in years, taking third in the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet Coach Harry Hillman did another grand job with his varsity, taking a team that appeared on paper to be lacking in depth and boosting it to second place in the Heptagonals after a most successful season.... The jayveg gridsters lost to Yale and Army and tied Harvard.... Each of these teams deserves more attention, but that will be forthcoming next month.
FRESHMAN FOOTBALL LEADERS Coach Ossie Cowles, whose yearling eleven enjoyed a highly successful season with victories over Harvard, Holy Cross and Brown and a single loss to Boston College, talksthings over with Capt. Harry M. Hood Jr. (28), 190-pound blocking back from ParkRidge, Ill., and Robert deO. McLaughry (43), halfback son of Coach Tuss McLaughry ofBrown. After they had completed their own season the freshmen continued to help thevarsity by reporting for scrimmage sessions.
