eleven which represented the upstate
university Yesterday. 1t seems that
Dobie must have rooted out the largest
men in thus state, let alone the uni

even p phys cal proportions than last
years combination, which was especial
What IS more, Dobc has even in
stilled some Of his well-known pep and
speed into these fellows as they
demonstrated on occasion. But all Of
this weight and speed went for naught
sg2inst the brilliant and savage
charging o those Dartmouth forwards.
We have seen no line do better or
more efficient job than the Green for
wards did against the heavies Of Cor
nell. Tat IS the main reason why
Dartmouth was the victor-it had the
superior line
