A common bond OF sympathy unites
Michigan and Dartmouth. The Han
overians are sore on Harvard. In fact,
there Is feeling between the two
schools that Is very mildly expressed
by the term. mutual dislike" For
years they met on the field OF honor,
with varying success, but two years
ago Dartmouth was toppled from the
Crimson schedule with even some
thing more than the thud with which
the Wolverines were dropped.
A generation OF bitter rivalry was
succeeded by spirit at Hanover that
rajoices when any thing inopportune
happens to the Cambridgites. Michi-
gan went east last fall with the best
wishes Of Dartmouth, and when the
Yostmen mauled that great Harvard
football machine all over the gridiron
at Soldiers field and gave the Grim
son scare from which IL is still shiy-
ering. there was jubilation on the
campus at Hanover. Michigan found
q new friend on the spot, and Har-
Yards action in discarding the VOL
verfnes SO that the Haughtonites
might be saved for Yale strengthened
the Dartmouth end OF the bond. That
situation, says Pudrith, would alone
make game with Michigan very pop
ular at Dartmouth.
The Hanoverians, moreover, are
very anxious for a western game next
year, and under any circumstances,
Michigan would be a very desirable
inter-sectional foe.
When Dartmouth, however, started
to angle for western game, Michigan
was supposed to be tied up with Har-
ward for next season. and Director OF
Athletics Jack Ingersoll undertook ne
gotiations with Chicago. At the time

has announced that II cannot play
Dartmouth before 1916. and the re-
quest for Michigan game was forth

Because the Michigan angle was not
made public until after the students
had gone home for the holidays, there
mas been no chance for further cam
Lus discussion. But In the light of
previous expressions OF desire for
athletic relations with the Wolverines,

the Harvard game. Pudrith Is positive
that the promised negotiations with
which Michigan will be approved by
the Dartmouth campus as one of the
most popular athletic moves in years.
