! Philadelphia. Nov. s.-Dartmouth hurled
team, adept in every art OF the newer
football, against Pennsylvania this after
noon and swept the hard lighting Quakers
down to defeat by score OF "a to 81.
The game was a-tingle with excitement
from the opening whistle, situations de-
veloped and changed with Kaleidoscope
quickness, but through it all the strapping
eleven from the New Hampshire hills
was keenly alive. although in the second
half it had to fight its hardest to with
stand terrific rally by the Red and Blue.
Franklin Field has been the stage for
many wondrous football battles. but the
one which it saw to-day was perhaps the
greatest of them all. Every element OF
spectacular playing was called forth on
both sides and the resulting exhibition
was of great individual briliance as well
as steady team play. Although apparent

half, the Quakers pulled together in the
third period and 1t was not until the con-
test had only five minutes 10 go on that
Dartmouth made certain of its victory.
Five touchdowns were rolled up by the
Green to three for the Quakers Hogsett
kicked four goals from touchdowns and

Blue, thus bringing the score up to its

Pennsylvania, although outplayed and
badly shaken in confidence in the opening

Green by scoring a touchdown before the
struggle was five minutes old. Carter did
the trick by wading through the Green
for 25 yards to the goal line.

fighting spirit, and within ten minutes
they had scored twice on the wings OK
