DARTMOUTH WILL GIVE
HARVARD BITTER FIGHT
HANOVER LADS HAVE BETTER
BAckFIELD THAN CRIMSON
Johnny Glaze Is Depended Upon to
Kick Field Goal in Great
Game to Be Played Mo-
vember 10

When the Dartmouth football team trots
out upon the gridiron in the Harvard
stadium November 16 the alumni ana roof
ers who will journey across the Charles
to see the Hanover. boys tackle the
crimson need have no fear that Dr.
O'Connor's crowd are an INFERIOR dssre-
cation of footballists.
The small scores made by Dartmouth
against admittedly weaker teams had
caused surprise and not little worry
among those who could not get In toucn
with the doings at Hanover.
While Dartmouth scored but " polnts
against the University of Maine, three less
than Harvard, her team showed much
stronger on the offense than the CRIMSON.
OF course the wearers of the green nave
had two weeks advantage, but the man
nor In which the backs tore through the
Maine line and the havoc played by Dart
mouths forwards with the tackles and
ends of the team from Orono augurs well
for Johnny Glaze's boys.
A Bit Crude
AT times the winners showed manifest
weakness on the defense, especially In
the second half, when Maine MADE trst
down on two or three occasions Ihese
tefporary lapses were due 10 care
lessness more than lack of ability, and
when called upon by Capt. Glaze to stop
these advances his men threw the Malnc
backs for losses.
AS vet Dartmouth is decidedly crude IN
the finer points of the game and Saturday
nIaved nothing but straight old-fashioned
hall No new formations were sprung and
II was simply a case Of smashing through
their opponents' line outside the tackles
for substantial gains
In the first half Glaze made periect
forward pass, which netted over tnrty
years. If he can get off one or two similar
passes in the Harvard game 1t looks me
for a score. In the second hair tne TOT
ward pass was worked successfully twice
hv the yicters, and In an attempt at a
backward and forward pass, with GLAZE
at the pivot, the trick miscarried ana
Maine nailed the play.
Unity of Attack
When a Dartmouth back came tearing
through the Maine line he had half OF his
teammates assisting. Often the runner
was apparently stopped, but the magnin-
cent offensive team work gained many
wards. 1t is this unity of attack that is
going to make Dartmouth factor In the
game at Cambridge this year.
Early in the second half with the score
II to in their favor, the coaches decided
to trv Johnny Glaze's ability at kicking
| field goals Glaze had a free kick from
the 41-yard line and a cross wind was
blowing over the field. Never did trueI
| kick 20 over a crossbar. Had there been
| an upright between the goal posts the ball
would certainly have struck the barrier
| Frank Mccoy, a former Yale halfback
coach of the Maine team, says that II
Harvard and Dartmouth had played Sat
urday Harvard Figuring on two weeks
natural development since the Maine
game) would certainly have beaten Dart
mouth.
Coach Mccoy is of the opinion that Ha-.
ward has a great defensive team, and
| Dartmouth would have small chance &c
gain through the crimson line by employ.
| ing Nold-fashioned plunging football. Nc
| Gov attributes the great gains through
| his line to the lightness of his forwards
and not to any great strength shown by
Dartmouth.
Fine Backfleld
| steve Farrell, the Maine trainer, was
reticent when the hypothetical question
of a Harvard-Dartmouth game was put
but after some urging Farrell opined
| Harvard, easy"
| Three of the men who played on the
| line against Harvard and Dartmouth
figured Harvard to win, and two thought
| that it was an even thing.
