touchback no other team would AVE al

1t, as was done last Saturday. That trick
alone probably saved Brown from being
scored on. There was no time taken out
for a touchback and the ball was still in
play. Had Vermont been wide awake
there would have been no chance to punt.
As Il was, Adams sent the sphere almost
40 yards and far down the field toward
the other goal, from where it was easy
to make a touchdown.
one OF the facts not brought out after
the Yale game but which is going the
rounds Of the union is that Dennie, small

that Shevlin could not get so low as the

GREEN CORRECTING FAULTS

The game with Brown at Springfield
next Saturday is causing considerable dis
quietude in the minds Of the football
coaches at Dartmouth. Although the game
with Harvard was, to a certain exent,
pleasing 10 Dartmouth men. yet there are
a lot Of things hat will nave to be patch
ed up before the Hanover college team
goes up against Brown.
Harvard was able 10 tear through Dart
mouths defence, and IL will be the work
OF the coaches this week 10 stiffen up this
bulwark The offence that the Brown
team will send up against Dartmouth, 1t
is thought here, will be stronger han that
which Harvard used Saturday. The way
that Brown did up Vermont. although IL
was only a practice game. shows that me
Providence men have "A whirlwind offence.
The feeling that Dartmouth viii de-
feat Brown In her most important game
Of the year Is much weaker than II was
before the Harvard game.
With q few exceptions, the
men came out OF Saturdays game in
fairly good shape, showing a condition
of training that Is pleasing TO the
coaches. Herr. however, Is rather used
up. He went INTO the game shortly after
coming from the hospital, and the strain
has told on him. He will be given a rest

game. He got down the field in good
shape and tackled well. lie will probably
be given a good show this week in prepar-
alton for Brown. Kennedy. who has been
out with a bad leg, will also be IN good
condition.
