Columbia 25, Dartmouth 19

One week earlier before 5,000 shivering fans at Baker Field in New York, the Dartmouth team had seen the clock run out and halt another last-ditch scoring effort. Here was the situation. With less than two minutes to go and the score tied at 19-all, Columbia had the ball on the Dartmouth 38-yard line. The Lions' quarterback, Dick Carr, went back and heaved a 38-yard pass to end Dale Hopp who leaped high in the end zone to snatch the ball from Dartmouth safety man Bill Beagle and put Columbia ahead 25-19. With one and onehalf minutes remaining, Dartmouth took the kickoff and returned to the 40-yard line. Two passes from Beagle to McLaughlin and Thielscher brought the ball to the Columbia 8-yard line. Thirty seconds remain. Now Beagle tosses into the end zone but it is incomplete. Beagle goes back to pass again, fires into the end zone to Dave McLaughlin, but Columbia guard Neil Opdyke races in to intercept it and two plays later the game is over.

The game was one of the most thrilling played at Baker Field. All seven touchdowns were scored on passes, with Columbia throwing 36 and Dartmouth 31. Dick Carr, the Lions' fine quarterback, broke Mitch Price's Columbia passing record that afternoon by completing 19 out of 36 for 363 yards and four touchdowns.

Columbia started the scoring early m the first period when Carr hit end Dale Hopp for a score. Dartmouth came back to tie it up in the second period when McKenna tossed 30 yards to McLaughlin, and then at the 14-minute mark the Indians pulled out ahead when McKenna fired a 10-yard pass to Thielscher. Early in the third period, Columbia evened matters when Carr fired again to Hopp for a TD, but five minutes later Dartmouth got the lead back when Beagle passed 37 yards to Jack Nicolette for a score. Then late in that same period, Columbia came from behind once again when Carr tossed another nice pass to Seitz and the game was again tied up at 19-19.

The fourth quarter was uneventful and everyone seemed ready to settle for a 19-19 tie until those last two minutes when the action exploded as reported.

ON A QUARTERBACK SNEAK from one foot short of the line Bill Beagle plunges over for a Dartmouth score after his brilliant passing had set up the touchdown. He repeated this act later.
