Central New York
BELATEDLY ARRANGED, but run off without too many hitches, the Dartmouth Weekend on the occasion of the Syracuse game turned out to be quite successful. The smoker at the University Club on the eve of the game was well attended by some 60-odd Dartmouths who heard the latest news from Hanover and up-to-the-minute football gossip.
Bill McCarter and Tuss McLaughry head- lined a program which also included short talks by Hafey Arthur, business manager of the D.C.A.C., and Milt Piepul, backfield mentor of the Big Green.
The Dartmouth Round-Up from 5 to 8 following the game filled the Hiawatha Room at the Onondaga Hotel to overflowing and provided ample opportunity for the well-chilled Dartmouths to warm-up while re-hashing the afternoon's proceedings. Generally speaking, these were satisfactory enough, considering the condition of the field and the fact that Syracuse played its best game of the season.
Dartmouth men from cities all through the east were at the Round-Up. We ran into alumni from such far away spots as Boston, New York, Cincinnati, and Chicago, to say nothing about the substantial delegation from Cleveland. Of course, the New York State group was there also, with Dick Burlingame '26 heading a large group from his Buffalo Dartmouth Club and an equally fine delegation present from Rochester.
ROUND-UP GLIMPSES: A local orchestra having a tough time with Dartmouth songs Boss Geller '12, Alumni Fund agent deluxe, shepherding two of his Dartmouth sons to the proceedings Bob Long '27, looking for Win Rodormer '27 who never did get there.
