Dartmouth 41, Brown 0

The Brown encounter at Providence was expected to be the closest game played thus far, but October 13 was Dartmouth's day to shine as the Indians ran up a score of 41-0, the highest point total ever recorded by a Blackmancoached Dartmouth eleven. The Big Green was sparked by Bill King, who had one of the finest days of his collegiate career, scoring three touchdowns and passing for a fourth.

The Bruins have not scored on a Dartmouth football team since 1956, nor were they destined to score in this year's game. Three times Brown penetrated inside the 20-yard line, but each time the Indian defense rose to the occasion.

Dartmouth scored four times in the first half and put the game all but out of Brown's reach after only two quarters. The first score came midway in the first period after a pass interception by linebacker Don McKinnon gave the Indians the ball at midfield. On the first play from scrimmage King went wide around right end for 30 yards and a first down on the Brown 20. A pass to Chuck Greer moved the ball to the eight and three plays later King went over from the one.

The parade of touchdowns continued as King put on a one-man show of ballcarrying and passing. Early in the second period he broke loose for a 29-yard run that carried to the Brown 18. Two plays later he hit Scott Creelman on a perfectly executed pass play for the touchdown.

Brown received the kick-off, but in three plays made no gain. A poor punt gave the Indians the ball on the Bruin 32 and the Indians were rolling again. On second down and five, King connected with end Chuck Greer, who worked his way to the Brown nine. On the next play King swept around end for the score.

Once again the ball was kicked off to Brown and again the Bruins were held in check by a rugged Dartmouth defense. In three plays the Brown backs were credited with minus one yard rushing. The ensuing punt gave the Indians the ball on the Brown 49.

The Tomahawks moved the ball to the 16 at which point King and the Green team came back into the game. The Richmond signal-caller promptly hit Dave Lawson on the 12 and then went the remaining distance himself on an end sweep.

Dartmouth took the kick-off to start the second half and proceeded to march 57 yards for another touchdown. Spangenberg had taken the kick-off on the goal line and carried it back to the 43. It was the same Indian halfback who went over for the score from the two-yard line.

The final Dartmouth touchdown came early in the fourth quarter. With the Tomahawks in the game, a Kelly-to-Finsthwait pass was good for 24 yards and a first down on the Brown eight. Three plays later Kelly scored on the Big Green wedge play from about the one. Wellstead missed the extra point after the final touchdown, the first conversion missed this season after ten straight.

Two Dartmouth tackles were hurt in the Brown game, first-stringer Dale Runge and Savage John Matzke. Both will be lost for at least two games, Matzke for possibly the rest of the season.

After two league games, the Indians are tied with Princeton for the Ivy League top position, with Cornell just behind them. If King can continue to spark the Green (he completed eight of ten passes against Brown) and if further injuries can be avoided to key players, the Indians should more than hold their own against Ivy League competition. From here it looks as if November 24, in Princeton, N. J., may well be showdown day.
