Boston, Nov. 2l.- Dartmouth com
pletcly outclassed Syracuse thus after
noon, defeating the New York team by
a score of 40 10 0. which aptly de-
seYi5es the relative merits Of the two
teams. Syracuse never had a chance to
win. and only once had chance 20
score
on that single occasion. when the
ball went to the Orange because Of the
commission Of a pardouable foul by the
Dartmouth punter me big Green line
briStled and stifenod and the New
York State boys could make no impress
sion. finally losing the ball on downs.
But aside from the fact that SYRIA
cvse was ou,played, outgeneraled, out
kicked ard outfooted. its players ac-
Quilted themselves with honor. for
never did they finch and were fighting
as hard Ia the last few minutes of play
as they were when the ball was put
into play.
The held was not in the bcs, Of con-
di,ion for good football. The turf was
soft in spots and one side of the grid
iron was thick with mud. Just what
effect the poor footing had upon the
final outcome is difficult to estimate,
but from the form and the style OF
game uncovered by the two teams,
Dartmouth was undoubtedly the loser
by The absence Of a dry field. The stiff
southwest wind that prevailed was Of
apparent assistance 20 the kckers, but
even against the wind Curtis outpunted
O'ConneN and Wakefield.
Dartmouth scored six touchdowns
and kicked four goals therefrom. One
attempt al q goal from touchdown was
failure. but the other was due en-
tirely 10 a mistake of a Dartmouth
PLAYER. who after making a fair catch
Of the punt out, deliberately placed the
ball upon the ground and thus pre-
vented the acquisition Of a potential
point.
In every department OF the game the
New Hampshire team was superior TO
Syracuse. but il wss in following the
ball that il shone TO particular advan-
tage. Several times, when Syracuse
rave promise Of making some headwsy
a tumble would cost them the ball. In
almost every instance when the ball
slipped out of the grasp Of an Orange
player some Dartmouth man was on the
spot TO grab it up or fall upon II. On
at least two occasions Dartmouth's
nose for the ball" resulted in touch
downs and in each instance, Spears,
the gigantic guard, was the player 10
recover the ball.
The game was replete with forward
and lateral passing but the activity of
the Dartmouth forwards and secondary
defence men smearcd the Syracuse at
tempts at the open game. On the ether
hand. the Syracuse passes were poorly
executed, and the men who were TO re
ceive the pass were either put out or
me play By the Dartmouth ends or else
the secondary defence men intercepted
or spoiled the passes.
Dartmouth scored one touchdown IN
the first period, one in the second pc
riod and two touchdowns IN each OF the
remaining periods. Dartmouth was
penalized four times for holding, twice
for being offside and twice for start
ING before the ball. and lost a total OF
eighty yards thereby. Syracuse was
twice penalized for holding, one for
starting before the ball and once for
offside play, losing a total Of forty
wards. In addition Dartmouth lost the
ball in the third period when Curtis
punted into his own line and Syracuse
got the ball on her opponents lO-yard
line.
Cavanaugh's team was the better ma
chine, for the Dartmouth line charged
much lower and carried It's charge
through. The Dartmouth ends were
cautious TO q degree on the defence,
and Syracuse consequently was able TO
rain little ground around them. What
around was gained by Syracuse was
made through the centre Of the line.
On the offence, on the other hand,
.he Dartmouth line was strong from
end TO end and the three centre men
frequently opened UP big holes,
through which the backs shot for sub
stantial gains. Curtis, Murdock and
Whitney held their feet exceptionally
we'll and made good gains, while little
Ghee varied the attack by executing
some brilliant quarterback runs.
The Dartmouth interference for the
runner vas we'll nigh perfect, and
many times Curtis's we'll placed, long,
spiral kicks put Dartmouth within
scoring distance. Syracuse, on the
whole, was heavy and powerful, but
slow. The Orange uncovered a good
attack, but was unable TO use IL effec-
lively because of the fierce charging Of
the Dartmouth line men.
Dartmouth used its much vaunted
open game to advantage Many long
and timely gains were made by resort
ING to the forward or lateral pass, and
twice forward passes netted touch
downs. The first Of these was a seven
yard pass. Ghee to Perry, who leaped
into the air behind the Syracuse goal
line and came down with the ball in his
arms. The second successful long for
ward pass was a sensational throw OF
