FOOTBALL POSTSCRIPT

Those of you who tuned in on the EastWest game in San Francisco on the last Saturday of December heard a couple of familiar names. They were the two quarterbacks of the East aggregation, John Clayton and Bob McCraney, who collaborated in piloting the team which finally lost to the WeSt by the score of 16-7. The two Green flingers, however, did just about everything that anyone could to pull the game out of the fire, combining to complete II out of 20 passes for a total of 167 yards through the air. The only touchdown of the East was largely engineered by Clayton, whose three tosses in a row brought the ball to the 4-yard line, where a plunge by one of the backs put it over. In addition to his passing and quarterbacking, McCraney did some very effective punting during his period of stewardship. As noted in our last communication, it was most unusual to have two men from the same team playing the same position in this all-star classic. Dartmouth's two quarterbacks were a credit to the Green.

The two Dartmouth operatives who traveled to the North-South game in Miami on Christmas Day did not figure so prominently in the goings-on down there, through no fault of their own. Once again the "home" (i.e., North) side went down to defeat, this time by the score of 14-9. Mo Monahan played a good part of the game at guard, to which he had been switched by Coach Herman Hickman of Yale, who tutored the Yankees. Bill Roberts had worked at both halfback and fullback, but did not get a chance to carry the ball very often, inasmuch as most of the backfield activities of the North were monopolized by the first-string Army trio.
