With Big Green Teams

Gridmen Split First Four Contests, Defeating Holy Cross and Syracuse But Losing to Pennsylvania and Brown

AFTER a rousing start, during which they beat Holy Cross and Syracuse by small but satisfactory margins, the Dartmouth football team came a cropper against Penn and the next week lost a tough one to Brown. As matters stand now, after the first month of the season, the Indians have a .500 batting average, which was better than they had this time last year but still leaves something to be desired. With five games left to go, it is still possible to retrieve some modicum of glory from the fall's doings, but with Columbia and Yale coming up (as we go to press) conditions are not as fundamentally sound as they looked after the first two games. Herewith a recapitulation of the first four contests of a grueling schedule.
