touchdown. Captain Fisher failed to kick
the goal, and this helped keep the Dart
mouth spirits UP.
Dartmouth kicked off and a short Har-

ball in Dartmouth's possession just across
the middle bar OF the field. The Green's
sStt showing on attack was good, the team
starting from a freak fore and aft forna-
ton and getting into line quickly and with
the desired balance. In seven plays Dart
mouth carried the ball TO Hsrvard's ID
