Football is more than a sport al
Hanover. II is a controlling force In
character and spirit building
Football Cslisthenios.
What impressed me most. perhaps.
..se .be interest and enthusiasm shown
nv the men IN settling back 70 work
after the reverse at Princeton. More
tban one hundred men reported at the
reId In toys. and Of this number sew
mtg were on the varsity squad. Many
Yer. out early, tsckling the dummy,
falling on the ball. punting or drop
licking. but as Csvansugh walked on
the field and elspped his hands every
last man gathered about him in cir
Gle and heard timely dissertation on
the faults Of Saturdays game AMI
lew encouraging words for tie futufe;
Then came the most amazing dr1il
in football calisthenles that IL has ever
been nv pleasure 20 watch. AS the
head coach snapped out his orders the
men threw themselves full length on
their backs or on their chests TWISTED
from side 70 side, jumped up, danced
On their toes and went through other
stunts which served TO harden flesh,

speed IN charging. falling on the ball
and tackling.
II was strenuous. mighty strenuous,
but It's value could easily be est-
mated. Following this, two teams lined
up for a fast signal and formation
drill. No scrimmage was asked, as
Cavanaugh. while believing IN hard
work. is no slave driver, but there
was quite enough 20 keep the men busy
until darkness settled over the grid
iron.
And the men, or at least most Of
them. love IL TOO. Il was written IN
their every move and expression.
Dartmouth's Handicap.
Dartmouth has been handicapped
this year. as has been told more than
once. BY the loss Of fourteen out Of
twenty-five letter" men by gradua-
'ion last June. but, under the condi-
tions. reasonably strong team has
been developed Speaking of the eleven
this afternoon. Cavdnaugh said:
"Wc hardly showed at our best last
Saturday. although this Is not meant
FOR an alibi The team was bit dis
organized because the best efforts were
ucutralizcd by bad tactics, growing out
of a lack OF experience Of the guar
tcrbscks
These fellows. as you can see for
Yourself are not going dead because
beaten by Princeton. They have two
more hard games ahead, against Penn
sylysnia and Syracuse, and maybe
three, as Amherst has been travelling
az fast pace this year, and they
are responding 300 me style. | want
the men 20 feel some responsibility
Tor tile loss Of a game. but re-
quife that they play IN the future, not
VA the past"
II is plain that Dartmouth misses
Ghee moro than all the other men that
were lost put together. The emphs-
sis placed on poor punting before the
Princeton game was too strong. Ger
rish can punt quite well enough, and
quite far enough, for the present ends
20 cover The Quarterbscks, four or
Eve Of them, are promising and have
reasonably good calibre, but all OF
them lack experience. And this counts
when the pressure is strong.
