by Telegraph to The Tribune.


Hanover, N. H., Nov. 2.-Desplte the
heavy and slippery field, Dartmouth came
back yesterday and pushed Amherst all
over the field With the score 90 to in
her favor, the Green came back in the
second half and piled up q more. five
touchdowns by Morey, two by Hogsett
and two by Whitney, together with five
goals from touchdowns by Englehorn,
being responsible for the score. Though
the Green showed a great Improvement
in their snap. they should have beaten
the Amherst team at least 75-0. Had
they held the ball al least three times,
when they were in the flve-yard line, tho
score would have been q points larger
The Green have not 10 date mastered the
art Of holding on 10 the ball when they
need 10 most. Fumbling and frequent
penalties formed a big feature Of the
game.
As a whole. the Dartmouth line showed
signs Of what they have IN them. There
was a change in the line that has not
been seen on the oval so far this year.
Together with the change, the Green
forwards possessed that necessary punch
al the end OF their drive. The back field
improved every opportunity 10 go for a
hole, and though Heinie Hobbs, Am
herst's coach, claimed he had five first
string linemen on the bench, 1t must be
remembered that Dartmouth's first string
backfeld was never in the game all at
once. Frequent substitutes In the Green
backfeld weakened her chance OF rolling
up a larger score.
on the kickoff Captain Connolly, OF
Amherst, returned the ball five yards.
They failed TO gain after two attempts at
line smashes and sent McGay back TO
kick. Llewellyn returned the punt fifteen
Yards and ran his team down TO the
LIZARD line. Then il was that Whitney
smiled a pass and Amherst received
life. II was not long, however, until
Dartmouth punched her way back and
sent Morey over for the first touchdown
After this the Green made first downs
almost at will. and registered 81 points
by the end OF the first half. The second
half was much the same, Dartmouth
kicking the ball most of the time and
succeeding in making long gains through
centre and around the ends. Ghee worked
two pretty forward passes for forty and
thirty yards. respectively.
The sensation Of the second half was
when Morey ran sixty yards through a
broken field for his fourth touchdown
He had on the play before gotten away
for seventy-fve yards, but was called
hack. and the Green was penalized for
holding Whitney and Hogsett were botf
good for substantial gains at any time
the latter taking Whitney's place at left
half and giving up his end position &c
Ashton.
on the line Captain Bennett and Engie'
horn put up the best games. Englehorr
fought like a wild man and tore up every
thing that came near him. Behhet

| champions of greater New York in the
season OF 1911, scored a one-sided victory
/ over the Commercial High School eleven
| at American League Park yesterday at
! ternoon. The score, 80 to 0, while con-
| vincing in itself, gives no real line on the
ability of the victorious eleven, nor does
| it fully display the woful weakness, the
| total inability, of the Commercial lads to
| play the game as 1t should be played.
A combination of circumstances, which
/ included costly fumbles, a few penaliza-
I tons and misused opportunities without
numter, in a measure explain why the
score did not assume greater proportions.
! With the exception of the closing mo-
ments Of the game, when in sheer des-
peration Commercial tossed caution and
good football to the four winds in a wild
endeavor to score, and forced the ball
down TO the l5-yard line, Clinton was
master of the situation from whistle to
whistle.
Physically the teams were well matched,
but the game was not one minute old
before 1t was easily seen that Clinton
would win decislvely. The Commercial
team played as though stricken with
bad case Of rattles. The linemen played
high and charged late, with little effort
at using their hands. The Clinton for
wards were quick to seize their oppor-
tunity The Commercial secondary oe-
fence indeed, was called upon to do most
Of the tackling. but even their work.
heroic as II was, was not enough to stop
however. the Commercial backs, Onley

A fair sized crowd Of schoolboys was on

Clinton lads pranced around the gridiron
in a wild snake dance. Clinton won the
toss, and elected TO defend the south
goal, with a brisk wind on their backs
and the sun beating into the eyes OF the
Commercial men. Onley kicked of 10
