lent Record in Baseball as Well as
Football.
When Capt. Daley called out the base
ball men last week for light winter prac-
tiee in the gymnasium cage, it marked
the beginning of the end which will come
next June Of one of the most remark
able athletic careers on record at Dart
mouth, says the Springfield Republican.
IN the number OF captaincies, and in the
number of games played in both prepare
tory school and college in baseball and
football, he has no rival. Not since 1907
1908 has the distinction Of being captain
Of both football and baseball fallen TO
one man, when Johnn Glaze, one of the
most famous athletes of the college, won
this honor. 1t is a remarkable fact
that during his three years in Dean acad.
envy and during his three and half
years at Dartmouth, he has played in
every school or varsity football and
baseball game on the schedules. In adj
dition to this record, he has never been
taken from a game for injury, and in
Dartmouth has played all Of every base
ball game.
Daley entered Dean academy in the
fall of 1905, and made the football team,
playing left end In the following two
years that he remained there he played
quarterback in every game for both sea-
sons. In preparatory school he thus
played total Of 20 games, 10 the first
nine the second, and seven the third
year. AT Dean he played on the base
ball team also three years, captain
ing the team the last two seasons He
played total Of 40 games, l6 the first,
II the second and Is the third year.
When he entered Dartmouth in the fall
of 1908 he was able to try for the var
sity football team because Dartmouth
did not adopt the freshman rule until
the fall OF the following year. He went
out for his position at end, and be-
cause Of an injury to Capt. Kennedy,
who played left end, be was able to
play in every game TO relieve the cap
tain Of the team. During the remaining
three seasons he was the regular left
end, never having any close competitors
for the place The brilliant and fast
work which has always characterized his
playing was never more evident than
this fall, when he led the big green
team through a most successful season.
He has never been chosen first for any
"All-American" teams, but has received
second choice and honorable mention on
innumerable selections. He has played
total of 80 football games at Dart
mouth, the full number on the sched-
ules for the past four years, eight his
first and second years. seven the third
and ten the past season.
The non-adoption of the freshman rule
enabled him to try for the baseball team
also in his freshman year, and follow
ing out the promise which he showed in
this sport in Dean academy, he made
the team, playing at center field. That
year he distinguished himself by leading
the team with batting average of
1888. The next two years he played
at right field. from which position he
viii captain the team this coming sea-
son In his second year he lost his
batting eye. ranking eighth on the team
with an average of .250, but last season
he came back to his own in batting.
Pressing Capt. Emerson close all sea-
son, he was tied with him mp to the last
time at bat in the final game of the
season in June, and took second place
when Emerson pounded out hit to
center, making his average $40, followed
by Daley with 1903.
Summing up his career, it is found
that he has played total of 80 foot
bali games in preparatory school and
college, and total Of liz baseball
games, with the coming seasons games
still to be added. Daley comes from
North Stratford, n. H., where he was
born % years ago Many college honors
have come to him, He is a member of
the Sigma Chi fraternity, of the Tur-
tie Junior society, and Of the Casque
and Gauntlet Senior society.
