Probably not in years has the re-
suit Of football contest entailed such
lengthy discussion as that Of the
DartmouthPenn game on the Polo
Grounds Saturday. Three football fans,
one yarmouth alumus, consumed the
whole Of yesterday afternoon arguing
The merits of the two teams. It is
doubtful if anybody's opinion had
been changed when the debate ended,
but it must be granted that the Han
overian made big play with his,
We'll, the Dartmouth team came from
behind to WIN out, did it not? And
the final score read: Dartmouth 90,
Penn 19, did i. not?" These are facts
not easily lodged.
Whatever else may be said Of the
play of the New Hampshire students, it
cannot be said they lack that wonder
full asset of fighting spirit Three times
this season has the Green come from
behind, twice to win their game and
once to tie. and this, too, against three
OF the best teams in the country. Any
body who has thought about these
facts must admit that these final spurts
OF the Dartmouth eleven are remark
able feats.

II they can stop this fellow Casey

Experts are of the opinion that after
his performance Saturday Strubing. of
Princeton, will merit consideration on
the All-American honors. One man
said the Tiger pilot ran the team with
rare Judgment and that his running
with the ball was as good as the best,
as was his defensive work.
Those who saw the Army play y
month ago and then saw the cadets in
action Saturday must have appreciated
the improvement the coaches have
wrought in this outfit. The soldiers
have come long way within the past
four weeks and now possess regular

superb defense. And to top off their
play. these embryo officers are a bunch
of fighting fools. If the Navy beats
them it certainly will never lick them.
Figuring prominently in this newly
constructed attack of the West Point
ers are Lysstadt, a slightly built chap,
and Schabacker, who somewhat re- re-
sembles Oliphant, and who is never
laid low until he is knocked down.
Schabacker charges into line like a
bull. Lystadt gallops along with knees
high, gathering momentum with every
stride.
Notre Dame is one of the speediest
teams seen in these parts this year.
And the big reason for it's swift attack
is the fact that it uses the direct pass
in most of its formations. Brandy
hardly utters his signals than the
backs are in motion. Which means
that Madlgan, the center. must be
pretty good to make as many passes as
he does in game without slip.
There are several exceptionally good
forward pass receivers among the COL

for catching passes. He caught no less
than five against the Army Saturday,
all netting substantial gains.
One of his catches brought the ball
thirty three yards to the Army's 7-yard
line, whence the Westerners went over
for their first touchdown. The passes
OF the Hoosiers succeed largely be-
cause they are thrown over the center
of the line to Kirk or q back who cuts
