WHILE THE REGULAR Saturday noon luncheon meetings of the Club did not get started until September 20th, the nearness of the football season was brought home to about 100 Cornell and Dartmouth men at our annual clam-bake, held jointly by the two alumni associations on Saturday, August 23rd. One of the features of this annual affair is the softball game between the two groups and this year Cornell, with memories of last fall's 3-0 defeat in Hanover, came fully prepared for vengeance. In spite of heroic and almost superhuman work on the part of Capt. Bax Fullerton '36 and his select team of loyal alumni, Cornell managed to eke out a scant 10 to 9 win and thus go home the proud possessors of the handsome silver loving cup given each year to the winner.

Rumor has it, however, that Bax is already revamping his team for next year's tussle and what with the release from service under the new draft law of some of the stars of last year's team, there is no doubt but that victory and the cup will again be ours.

Plans are rapidly going forward to have broadcast- or wire-receptions of as many of the football games as possible and more than naturally we in this part of the country are very keen to see how much success Coach Tuss McLaughry and his new staff will have with the material at hand. Win, lose or draw, we know that it will be a Dartmouth team and we are all pulling for the staff and the team.
