rank.
It was a debacle for the Green, the
worst defeat Dartmouth team has
suffered in great many years and a
triumph for the Cornell eleven and for
Gilmour Dobie, who answered the
much asked question if he is real

Pfann outside of tackle and about the

to thirty five yards.

cans most of the time. but two of their
four attempts at forward passes sue
ceeded at critical moments and in the
third period, when a Dartmouth rally

sent Carey out from the side lines as a
substitute for Ramsey and he made
a beautiful drop kick from the 81 yard
