SCORE FROM FUMBLEs
BY DANIEL.


Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon to
an embattled, game eleven from Han
over which stood over it's own goal
line, struggling desperately against
determined foe from Syracuse. Hold
'em, Dartmouth" Now it became a
thunderous importantly to scrappy
combination which, with the score a
tie at to 7, was threatened by an in
furiated antagonist. Syracuse was
only two yards from a second touch
down.
That Dartmouth team needed n.

1t held! One Syracuse punch yielded
nothing, two more mad lunges into
the green mass gained only a little
more than a yard. Fourth down, and
only one foot to go-but Dartmouth
stood as stanch and stalwart as the
old White Mountains which look
down on Hanover. The fourth blow
found Dartmouth resolute with a
strength it had not shown all season.

But Dartmouth was defeated after ALL
and not long after that fine stand which
1llumned the closing moments of the
third period and the first minute CT the
final quarter. Syracuse. well deserving

five yards for touchdown and won over
the Green aggregation by ID to z Thus
was the glory of that defensive feat of
Dartmouth submerged in defeat--defeat
by Syracuse eleven, which, coming out

Syracuse went to the fore in the
second period, went to the front with q
dazzling performance by MacRae. This

ing over sixty yards of rain soaked turf,
sixty long yards of the heaviest of
going. and touched the ball down behind
the Dartmouth goal line. A tumble by

by very poor pass, provided MacRae
with an opportunity to emulate Prince

ascendant over the Green. to o.
But not for long was Syracuse in the
van. Dame Fortune this time decided to
play no favorites. Having given Syra-
cuse a tumble to carry away for a score
she contrived to provide a similar oppor-
tunity for the White Indians. In the
third period Kellogg of Syracuse let
punt glide through his fingers.
Lynch scurried up in the nick of time,
seized the bounding ball and dashed
thirty-five yards for touchdown. Neid-
linger kicked the goal, and now 1t was

the weight of inept offensive tactics and
poor generalship now became tense and
highly interesting.
The FrugOne HOmeric.
F'rugones Homeric of resistless power
was highly dramatic. His smashing sue
cess came like bolt out OF the blue for
the Dartmouth team. Kellogg, Zimmer-

would have counted most.
Frugone had not started the game.
He was listed as substitute quarter
back, and Anderson was doing we'll
enough. When Syracuse found itself on
Dartmouth's two yard mark Frugone
suddenly was rushed into the fight in
place of Foster. But Frugone had no
hand in the futile assault on the Green.
kellogg and Zimmerman bore the brunt
OF that fierce drive.
Then Syracuse, stopped at this angle,
stopped at that, desperate. determined to
win, hurled the burden on the willing
back of the youth from Brooklyn. After
Dartmouth had taken the bali on downs
Robertson went behind his own goal line
TO punt out of danger-and he kicked
poorly. Syracuse got the ball on Dart

winning drive.
Now the 6 Ill to Frugone-a substi-

message. He went smashing on for four
yards. Once more was Frugone asked

Frugone Goes IL More.
One more call was to be made on Fru-
gone. He had made one first down
and now Syracuse implored him for an
other. And Babe came through. A
terrific assault was organized on the
left side of the Dartmouth line. Smash
ing pressure was brought to bear on

Now Syracuse was in a position to
strike again. Now came that call to
Dartmouth anew---that call TO "hold

asking too much. kellogg and Andcr-
