Central New York

SYRACUSANS certainly knew that "Dartmouth's in Town Again" over the weekend of the Syracuse-Dartmouth game. Not only did the football team put on a most satisfactory exhibition from the Dartmouths' viewpoint but, in addition, various alumni activities planned by the Dartmouth Club of Central New. York created plenty of publicity and noise here in this Salt City Metropolis.

Friday night at the University Club at 8 o'clock, Bill McCarter headlined a group of speakers at a well-attended and enthusiastic smoker. Tuss 'McLaughry spoke about the team and was followed by Whitey Fuller,John Dell Isola and Milt Piepul.

Immediately following the game there was a gigantic Round-Up of all the visiting Dartmouths and their friends in the Hiawatha Room at the Onondaga Hotel. This was really something tremedous as the room and four bartenders proved entirely inadequate to cope with the crowd. We have no idea how many were actually there but we do know that it exceeded several hundred. If there was a mistake made by the committee over the weekend it was here.

Immediately following this affair, plans had been made to entertain those who intended to spend the evening in Syracuse at the University Club. Again the number attending this party exceeded previous expectations but, in spite of it all, the University Club proved to be very genial hosts and were able to take care of practically every one. The Club was especially decorated for the dinner dance and, as a matter of fact, the whole thing was done under the supervision of John White '41. For once, Dartmouth, which has always been in the minority at the University Club here at Syracuse, had an overwhelming majority and literally took over the club for the evening.

From all reports every one had a good time and was pleased with the arrangements that had been made. Fred Smith '25, president of the local association, and Jim Scott '40 deserve a big hand for the important role they played in keeping things moving. Bob Hosmer '32 had a key job in managing the successful Round-Up Saturday afternoon which, as far as we are concerned, is about the largest Dartmouth affair we ever' attended outside of the metropolitan or Boston area.
