One of the sights in the first period of the gnme on Breves Field yesterday, when the spectators were brought to their feet cheering for the plucky Rhode Island pigskin chasers in their battle against the big Green team. Note the Dartmouth man at the left breaking through the line and all set for a tackle. Green Triumphs Over Brown, 14-6 Through Line at Will Makes Belated Rally In BY HAROLD R. HALL one of the hardest battles Although the football is very much on the wane now-with the last act about to is still some great treats of a wonderful season left. There is, for example, the Army-Navy grapple a week from yesterday at the Polo Grounds, which will present the usual fine spectacle, such as only these two service academies can present, but which will also exhibit this fall a nifty football contest.

Both the cadets and the middles have better elevens than they had last year, have shown to better advantage and appear to be more evenly matched than they were a year ago. On Thanksgiving Day the Penn-Cornell annual at Philadelphia, the Penn State-Pittsburg issue at Pittsburg, which this year promises to be one of the greatest battles in history; the West Virginia-Washlngton and Jefferson meeting at Washington and the Detroit-Rutgers game at Detroit will give followers of the game plenty of opportunities to enjoy the day in other ways than by chewing turkey. And this all. On Saturday, iNov. 27, besides the Army-Navy go, there will be a little passage of arms between Georgetown and Boston College here in Boston, a tussle that gives promise of developing Into a regular old-fashioned struggle.

On that same day Dartmouth will help Washington University open Its new Stadium at Seattle In a little playlet on the checkered greensward. And finally, on Dec. 4, Holy Cross and Boston College will meet in what is always a battle, and ever fought by Dartmouth and Brown, Cutie Big Green team yesterday took the pelt of Ed Brown Bear at Braves Field to the tune of 14 to 6. However it was one of the hardest tasks the Dartmouth eleven has had on its programme this year, and the little Brown Bear, despite the absence of Williams, its star end, put up a game fight from start to finish and more than once threw a scare into the Dartmouth ranks with an almost superhuman display of forward passing. A SWEET VICTORY Victory was sweet to the Dartmouth undergraduates and old-timers who overflowed the Dartmouth cheering section, for It was the first time that the Green team had handed out a defeat to the team from Providence since the resumption of football relations in the fall of 1917, and the first time Dartmouth has beaten Brown since 'way back in 1906 when took measure at Springfield.

The entire cheering section literally went wild when the whistle blew at the close of the game and, headed by the Dartmouth band, thousands of Dartmouth men snake-danced over the field, while hats, regardless of the high cost of headgear, were thrown recklessly over the goal post as the victory-mad rooters gave their first demonstration in years. Victory was theirs, and Boston was all Dartmouth, as far as they were concerned. Memories of last heart-breaking defeat by a 7 to 6 score, made when Captain Nichols of the Brown team blocked a punt and dashed across the Dartmouth goal In the last part of the game, were forgotten. Dartmouth had won. Saved Bacon And to Captain Robertson of the Dartmouth team goes much of the credit for the victory.

While he was weak at all times in fake kicks and mouth quarter, intercepted a pass. The plunging Dartmouth backs could make no impression on the ground and for a moment looked as though It would roll across the goal line. However, the first break of Dartmouth luck and Brown hard luck came at this point for the ball touched a Brown back and a Sonnenberg fell on It for Dartmouth on on the Brown seven-yard line. Over for Touchdown It was but a matter of moments before the ball was within Inches of the Brown goal line, and Shelburne plunged across for the first touchdown of the game. Cunningham kicked the goal, and the score was 7 to 0 for Dartmouth.

Dartmouth kicked off to Brown, and Spates made a pretty run back of 15 yards to the Brown 30-yard line. The rest of the period the play was back and forth with exchange of punts, and he stepped across for the only Brown score of the day. Armstrong had been taken out of the game a few minutes before when he was knocked cold and received an Injured leg, and Oden had to attempt to kick the goal, at which he failed. After the kiekoff by Robertson he was taken out of the game and Bowers took his place. Brown made its first down through several rushes and a five-yard penalty inflicted on Dartmouth for holding, and the Brown cheering section rooted for another touchdown.

But the Green line held, and after two attempts at passes Moody punted over the Dartmouth goal line. Followed several futile rushes and Dartmouth kicked. Oden shot a forward pass to the fighting Shurtleff for a gain of 15 yards, and Moody followed with a seven-yard plunge through the big Green line. Wolper made It a first down on the 20 -yard line as the third period ended. Rush In Reserves Many substitutions were made by Dartmouth at the start of the last period.

Sonnenberg was rushed back in the game, as was Burke and Captain Robertson. Here Brown was given her only penalty of the game, five yards for Harvard Blanks Yale Team, 9-0 Continued from Page 18 egg Inside 25-yard Harvard made a half-hearted bid at another score in the fleeting moments of the opening half. Steady cracks at the line yielded fair returns, and brought the Crimson as far as 30-yard stripe. There the Blue was impregnable, and Horween dropped back for a field goal attempt. It was a wretched try, with several Yale huskies hurtling in, to force a speedv kick.

As a result, the ball went only a few yards In the air, and was captured by Sturm and run back two rods. A Last Hope Nailed Shortly afterward Yale got into side of the field, by virtue of a 15-yard penalty on Harvard. But a forward pass that Aldrich threw from the 40-yard line fell into the hos- prst tilo hands of Owen. That dissipated the BUELL WAS TERROR FOR THE BULLDOG NEW HAVEN, Not. terback Buell lived up to the expectations of the Harvard coaches when they elected him to start in quarterback in opening the game.

Bueil did a couple of Charley Brickleys, scoring six points for the leathern stripe. Now came another screaming for- ward pass, from Buell to sure-footed Crimson and his forward passing Humphrey. When the lank Harvard and all round generalship could not halfback got his talons on the oval, he loped for the goal line by master- ful dodging of all, but reached his I team, with Oden, Moody, Mallory and Shurtleff playing the game of their lives, were fighting like Trojans. Jordan dimmed the Brown hopes by intercepting a forward pass on the 10 yard line. Several rushes followed for a first down for Dartmouth.

But the Brown line held again and Robertson punted to Moody, who was downed In his tracks. Brown let loose again with passes, and Shelburne, the dusky fullback, intercepted one on the Brown 35- yard line. First down for Dartmouth followed two rushes. The Brown lino the quarter ended with the ball In Dart- held again and Robertson tried another offside. Spears did not want 1 Eli threat, and about concluded the sec- another Brown score, and the Brown ond period.

destination. From behind, he was pulled down by a Yale tackier, just one zone from the goal. So Harvard dug In on 5-yard line with four downs to punch over the touchdown. Tad Jones shot fresh recruits Into his lineup to stay this Harvard attack. Qualle for Acosta and Jordan for Sturm bolstered both the line and secondary defence.

though t- tulness was just the right cue. The Blue line bridged not an Inch on the assault that Humphrey made against left tackle. Then Horween buckled through to the 3-yard line and it looked as if Yale might waver. Crimson Thrown Back Any such doubt was dispelled right away on the play that succeeded this. be questioned.

He was in everything, picked his plays splendidly and every time he dropped heck for a try at goal he threw terror into the hearts of Yale followers. possession on her own 24-yard line. In the early part of the second period Jordan tore around the Brown right end, and then followed the only completed forward pass that the Dartmouth team made. But Dartmouth was offside, and was penalized, and the pass went for naught. Robertson punted and Oden ran tne ball back 25 yards for one of the prettiest plays of the game.

In the next play Brooks was injured, but continued In the game. field goal, which failed. Moody punted to Jordan on the Brown 48-yard line. Darkness was fast closing In on the field and the ball seemed but a black speck at It was snapped to the waiting hands of the eager backs, and the time for trick plays was ripe, but none came. Instead Brown kept up its forward passing game and Dartmouth attempted to follow in her steps, but Moody caught a Dartmouth pass on the Brown 20! yard line and ran it back 15 yards.

Wolper made It first down on the next Whatever inspiration Tad Jones fed hla men betwen the halves was just what tho Yale team needed. They returned to the field Jabbering like gorillas happen to prancing like madmen to get at the foe. Incidentally, it was a play wherein This time it seemed as If Yale was de- I charIey BuelI 6taked ch termined to force the going. Indeed, just as Harvard got the jjjpp in the i un easy and certain field goal to opening half, the Yale team got in the make a try for a touchdown. On third second section.

But a glaring fault of dow he sent Humphrey to spin past misjudgmcnt by Aldrich robbed the left flank between end and Armstrong punted to Jordan, who was play with a forward thrown by Oden which this year will be anything but a lonc end hi9 was game of ping-pong. That little grapple will repay any and everybody who attend In the hope of seeing a good, hard game of football. It may be, too, that we may see Penn State and Notre Dame stage a post-season exhibition in New York. So tuck the bennies and the binoculars away just yet. LICONE FIRST IN There was some very good racing at the final matinee of the Metropolitan Driving fall series at the Charles River speedway.

The best contested of the six races on the card was the one won by Licone. The big bay gelding, Trampalert, won the first heat, but Licone stuck to his work and out- finished his rivals the next two trips. The spectators rather favored Brysa to win her race, but W. J. speedy black mare, Grace Forbes, was full of trot and got the decision in straight heats.

sistent and kept Dartmouth out of danger again and again; and it was he who broke through the Brown line for 35 yards and the second touchdown of the game, one of the most spectacular plays of the entire game. But he was more than ably assisted by Shelbum, the wonderful colored fullback, who repeatedly slammed through the Brown line as though it were made of paper, and Burke, right halfback, who skirted the Brown ends with the speed of a greyhound and who crossed the Brown goal line for the first touchdown of the game. Dartmouth won the toss and elceted receive the kick. Armstrong kicked off to Burke who was tackled on his 23- yard line. Jordan hit the Brown line off right tackle for five yards for tho first play and Burke, the ashy back, found a hole at right tackle on the next play through which he dashed 30 yards before he was drowned by Oden in the middle of the field.

Dartmouth Gets Loose tackled in his tracks. Then Jordan on a play off left tackle made 48 yards, and seemed to be going for a sure touchdown, when he was tackled from behind by Oden. Jordan waa hurt but continued. The ball was on 12-yard line. Moody went In at left half for Faulkner at this point, and the Brown line stiffened and took the ball on downs on the three-yard line.

Armstrong punted to Jordan, and on the next play Captain Robertson broke through the Brown line for 35 yards and a touchdown. Cunningham kicked the goal, and It looked for a certainty like a Dartmouth day. Brown Wakes Up However, the Brown team seemed to take on new life with the second touchdown against them and on the next play Wolper, who had replaced Spates, ran 35 yards after receiving a forward pass from Oden. Brown failed to gain on rushes and kicked. Dartmouth failed to gain and after another 5 -yard penalty for offside, kicked to mid-field.

There Robertson made four yards and String of Dartmouth and Shupert of Brown came to blows and were ruled out of the game for the balance of the day. String had been in the game but a few minutes as a substitute when the fight started. After an exchange of punts and several rushes that were unproductive the whistle ended the first half, but not before Sonnenberg, the aggresive Dartmouth tackle, had been taken out of the game with Injuries. The third period showed Brown full of life and the Brown Bear began showing its teeth from the first blast of the whistle. Oden received the kick-off from Dartmouth and Wolper made a nice gain through the right of the Dartmouth line.

In two more plays Brown made it first down, but Dartmouth intercepted another forward pass and started the rushing game again. But the Brown line held like Two more passes by Oden were grounded, but he threw a third to Mallory which netted Brown 35 yards, and looked for a moment like another touchdown. Brown was displaying a wonderful passing game and had the Dartmouth outfit guessing. Brown Loses Ball With but seconds to play Oden flashed another pass to Fuller for 8 yards, but Brown lost the ball on downs on tho Dartmouth 18-yard line, and Robertson after the Brown line had held against two rushes punted and the ball rolled to the Brown 12-yard line, and goal line was once more saved by his wicked toe. Moody slammed at the right of the Dartmouth line for no gain as tho whistle blew for the end of the game.

While there was considerable fumbling and much poor football displayed by both sides at times, it was a game jammed full of excitement. Shurtleff, the Brown tackle, who at times breaks into print with poetry, was dangerous at all times as the blocked punt which resulted in a forward passing he was a vertlble wizard. Captain Armstrong Elis of their chance. Gets in Hole and Out Here Is how Harvard got into a hole as the third quarter opened and got out of It through an error on part. Kempton seized the rather short and high-floating kiekoff and raced 33 yards over the chalk marks.

It placed the ball in half of the field. Yale gained only three yards in as many line plunges and then was forced to kick. Aldrich punted to Buell on his seven-yard line and the Yale end3 smothered him quickly. A penalty against Yale for offside, a few short gains through the line and a longer one of 12 yards by Owen worked the ball far from the Harvard goal line. Then Harvard punted and Yale soon returned the kick.

Now Harvard was fighting the snarling Yalensians In the shadow of its goal and found the going rather tough. Two lino bucks by Owen resulted In a net loss of two yards, and a five-yard penalty for offside set the swineskin back on the 13-yard line on fourth down. That meant that Humphrey, standing on fils own goal line to get off the kick, had to lift a long and perfect punt to prevent Yale from making a fair catch and getting a chance to tie up tho score with a free try for a field goal. Or it meant, should Yale elect to fight It out, that Harvard must check a fierce Blue onslaught at a time when the Elis had them on the run. KEMPTON CAUSES A SCARE NEW HAVEN, Nov.

Kempton did a McMillen in the third period and had Harvard on the for a while, standing well back in the backfield, ha received a perfect pass from Tim Callahan, he bolted with all his speed for left end, then finding I all of team rushing for I that position, he switched in his course, a la. Bo McMillen and dashed for the opposite end. He took men completely off their feet and got away to a good gain. tackle In the hope of getting through. It a poor guess, and one that failed to consider the earnestness of the Yale defence.

For Humphrey not only failed to score, but was tossed back for a o-yard loss, close to the side of the gridiron. Buell had gambled and lost. His next play was lourth down, which necessitated a kick. And inasmuch as Humphrey had taken the ball far on tho side So Thorne' Murphy opened the flood in the try to break past the line, it sates for passes. Two successful ones was In a bad spot from which fo i brought the ball to the middle of the only hope to secure any sort of score at all.

With but five minutes remaining, only a miracle would let Yale win, although she might score. But the very worst that could happen to Harvard was a final result of 9 to 7. In Ticklish Place That was the situation as Humphrey posed on his own goal mark readv fer the kick. Ho held the fate of the game touchdown and then kicks the conse- in his we should sav goak By RH the rules of the in his toe. Anyway, it was distinctly same that makes a total of seven attempt a field goal Misses Hard Goal Buell did try, however, standing on the 18-yard stripe, but only a short distance from the side marks.

His shot was ineffective, and a touchdown resulted for Yale. From the 20 -yard stripe the Elis promptly punted. Harvard was back for gore again in less than a time. A runback by Buell of the punt, followed by another neat forward pass from Blond Charley Buell to Mr. Owen, gave Harvard the ball about 33 yards from citadel again.

Three gouges at the line netted scarcely five yards, and on the fourth down Horween was forced to try the longest drop-kick of the day. He stood on the 38-yard line and booted the oval over neatly. It was a square, head-on shot, that coiNd hardly have missed, and Harvard was then ahead by a half-dozen points. Out to Increase Score Now, half a dozen points is better than no points at all, but rather useless In case your enemy scores a field, and then Lay and Jordan on two line plunges pushed the leather into half of the field. Forward passes followed.

Yale was handicapped in this, however, for the ball was at the side of the field, and the passing could only be to the left, in one direction. This meant defence was narrowed down and chance of success was minimized. Heaves Are Grounded Murphy threw three great heaves of 25 or 30 yards toward scampering Elites, but every one of them went aground. On the fourth down Thorne had to punt for a touchback, and Harvard kicked back to Yale again. The Elis were quickly over in Crimson territory, snarling for just another try.

A long forward pass, from Murphy to Bob Lay, was productive of results. It was good for a 30-yard gain and left the ball 37 yards away from the mark. Once again Yale tried to forward pass, and once again used the long-distance heaves. It was the same old story as before. They came near, but they failed by inches.

That is, three of them did. The fourth one succeeded, from Murphy to Lay, but it was for only eight yards, and the ball went to Harvard on downs In spite of success- up to Mr. Humphrey to kick the Crlm- i which would just about win the i ful completion.

Its line was all right today, at least. The team was a vast improvement over the outfit that battled the Tigers. But those last five minutes tell the tale of pitiful woe. Yale hau not valid offence. Its running plays were old and were plays that a good line like could quell.

Another long run back by Humphrey, a short forward pass from Buell to Humphrey, and Harvard had the ball on Yale's 25-yard stripe. There a sustained assault on the Blue line followed and the ball was pushed down to the seven-yard lateral.

An Ell defence was found unflagging, so Harvard was forced to kick. Bulldog Desperate Buell romped back to the 20-yard line, and plopped over a neat little field goal once more.

Harvard easily seemed to be the more peppery combination when once the players got started All were on their toes while Yale seemed to be in a daze and looked like one slow machine that was having troubles in getting going. As the game progressed the Elis got up more steam and in the closing periods appeared to be playing harder and faster football than tha Crimson machine. ARTHUR COMMENT The athletic game Is due for a bifl coino back this coming indoor seazoti, if the report of the home coming A. U. delegates count for anything.

Vice President Bill Cuddy and tho reit of the New England delegates were loud In their praise of the treatment accorded them on their visit to the national convention at New Orleans. Alt said that optimism was the keynote. One of the reasons advanced for such an opinion was the fact that new blood Is being fostered into the national body and that many of the old guard who had been ruling the athletic roost for many years were allowed to slip a bit, and their places are being taken by many of tho more up-to-date athletic followers. As a result of the recent meeting in New Orleans more national championships were awarded to the different parts of the country than ever before and in this manner it is expected that more interest than ever will be taken in amateur sport. Homer Baker, the former American half-mile champion, who has announced his retirement from the amateur athletic ranks, Is now open to meet any professional mlddle-distance professional runner in the world.

Baker Is perfectly safe in making such an announcement, for just now there Is a dearth of professional mlddle-distance runners. In fact the professional athletic running game appears in a very bad way, fot the sport has received but little encouragement and as a result but few of the athletes have seen fit to keej themselves in suitable condition for such events. But the advent of Baker Into the fessional ranks will be awaited with considerable interest. Years ago considerable attention was given such races, especially those between Charley Kilpatrick, the American half-mlU champion, and E. C.

Bredin of England, When those half milers of the olden days met in a regular contest It was a cause of bringing out a record ing to their meetings in England, Frankie (Young) Britt, the pride ol New Bedford, an alibi for showing against Jimmy Frizzettl in their recent meeting at the Grand Opera House. Ordinarily we do no! take a whole lot of stock in any alibis, We have always been of the opinion that it is better for an athlete to ga out and take his beatings and let it go at that. But Britt seems to have a logical excuse and no doubt will prove lie slipped when he gets bach into the ring again. had a troublesome tooth the day before the last Frizzettl Britt, had it pulled out. I do tbjbh that this is the reason for my making such a poor showing in the Frizzettl mill.

In that battle I was going alone finely for six rounds. I had Jimmy Jusl where I wanted him, and was fully fident that I would breeze in. But in the seventh round I ran into one ol straight lefts and he hit mi right on the sore jaw where the had been pulled. The Jolt ti paralyze the whole of the Jeft side ol my face and run down that Bide of my body. I do not know what was matter with me from that time until the end of the bout.

Perhaps I did fight my regular fight. But I do not want to take anything from Frizzetti He fought a better battle than I evei gave him credit for being able to do, No doubt some time they will match us to meet again and I will gladly meel i him. What is more, I am willing ti i gamble that I will stop him inside ol the Jack Moakley was the guest of i Sharpe down at New Haven at the Yali I game.

England has always been strong in distance runners, and especially in hill and dale game. Another hardshlf that Cornell runners will have to reckon on is the different course they will have to compete on abroad. England they run on much stlffet courses than we do in this country and the will be a little longer, Also, considering that we have a long trip to make and will hardly have in which to become acclimated, Cornell athletes will have all their work cul out to win the Jake Driscoll will be foi one of the busiest indoor ever undertaken by a local champloa I Jake already has been invited to in a special 600-yard race ovei the Metropolitan Association meet I and in which many of the leading indoor middle distance will compete.
