Harvard 16, Dartmouth 8

Dartmouth's first (and we hope only) Ivy League setback came in late October at the hands o£ a fired-up Harvard club which played the way a Dartmouth team normally plays. It was a drizzly afternoon and the field was muddy, but there is no doubt that the better team that afternoon won.

The Indians seemed to dominate the first half of play as they began to march late in the first period. In twenty plays they went fifty yards to score, with the tally coming as quarterback Bill Gundy rolled out to the left and scampered eight yards. Gundy passed to halfback Jim Burke for two more points and the Indians were out in front 8-0. Harvard drove back late in the second frame, but the Indians held on downs and took over as the half ended.

However, the Crimson came right back in the second half to march to the Dartmouth 12-yard stripe. Here a Harvard fumble was recovered by Captain Al Krutsch, but the play was nullified by Dartmouth's being offside and Harvard had a first down on the seven. Four plays later quarterback Chuck Ravenel dove over to score and an off-tackle plunge by halfback Tom Lawson tied up the ball game.

Harvard was fired up now and in the fourth period capitaiized on a break. Halfback Jim Burke, deep in his own territory, attempted a screen pass but was rushed and the ball wound up in the arms of Crimson end Hal Keohane on the Green 16-yard line. Three plays later half-back Chet Boulris, who was outstanding for the Crimson all afternoon, went over from the four-yard line and then added two points for good measure on an end-around run. Dartmouth, with Gundy passing, took to the air during the final minutes of play, but his passes failed to click and the Crimson took over a Dartmouth punt to run out the clock.
