DARTMOUTH 28, SYRACUSE 7

The offensive power that had been so frustrated against Holy Cross burst out in all its autumnal glory against Syracuse. After spotting the opposition a touchdown in the opening period (in a manner distressingly similar to the previous year), the Green roared back for two touchdowns in the second period and one each in the third and fourth quarters. Led by big Fran O'Brien, who registered two touchdowns, the attack that Coach McLaughry and his assistants have been so painstakingly fashioning came to fruition in a highly satisfactory fashion.

The first Dartmouth touchdown came on a 70 yard scamper (if you can call it that for a man who weighs 204 pounds) by Herb Carey, who burst out of the Syracuse line, outdistanced his baffled pursuers, and went right on into pay dirt. The second TD came on a short line buck by O'Brien, who alternated with Carey all afternoon at fullback and provided the other half of the principal Dartmouth one-two punch in the running department. The third score resulted from a spectacular forward and lateral, involving quarterback Joe Sullivan throwing to end Red Rowe, who in turn tossed to his colleague at the other end, Dale Armstrong. The latter then propelled his 205 pounds at a rapid canter for 25 yards and a touchdown.

The final Dartmouth touchdown was O'Brien's second and most impressive effort of the afternoon. He broke through the Syracuse line in very much the same fashion as Carey and ran 65 yards for a score through the bewildered Syracuse aggregation. That ended the pyrotechnics for the afternoon. When the team returned to Hanover on the Sunday morning after the game, the bells of Rollins Chapel pealed long and loud. There was no mistake on the part of any of the 2,900 undergraduates at that summons. Nobody needed to ask for whom the bell tolled. It tolled for them.
