DARTMOUTH COVETS
PLACE IN BIG Three

One of the interesting phases of the
coming foot ball season. as well as
athletic-and scholastic events lying
beyond-will be the drawing together
of Harvard and Dartmouth
Dartmouth. essentially New Eng
land in its tendencies. as we'll as in
geographical location. has long looked
forward to a better understanding
with the Cambridge University with
respect to scholastic procedure and
in athletics.
Affairs have been working toward
a consummation of this end. Dart
mouths foot ball relations with the
Crimson. which were resumed two
years ago. are by no means likely to
be ficeting. 1t is not entirely out of
the reckoning that the college at Han
over feels itself entitled to the posi-
tion of rivalry with Harvard that
Princeton now holds.
Geographical relationship is clearly
indicated. and wha, Dartmouth would
have to do to take the place at one
of Harvard's elbows. now occupied by
Princeton. would be to overcome
traditional rivalry as between the
New Jersey and Massachusetts in
stitutions, which seems valued. so far
as Harvard alumni are concerned, less
in Boston than in other parts of the
country, where graduates of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton are in closer
communion.
The dropping of the Harvard
Princeton freshman foot ball game is
regarded as significant by some, as
is the placing of Dartmouth upon the
Yale varsity schedule. a fact which
is taken in connection with the CO.
operation of Yale. Dartmouth and
Harvard in certain important scholas-
tic matters, in which, as matter OF
fact, Princeton declined to particl-
pate.
Those who are interested in follow

DICK BOYD GETS
APPOINTMENT TO
MILITARY ACADEMY

Richard B. Boyd, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Byron Boyd of this city has been
appointed by Senator Bert M. Fer
maid as a principal to enter the Unit
ed States Military Academy at West
Point next July. Young Boyd is 10
years of age and is a graduate of
Cony High school of this city and
of Staunten Military Academy of
Staunton, Virginia. He is at the
present time attending Bowdoin col
lege as q member of the Freshman
class.
He will be enabled to enter West
Point without the usual examination,
upon a certificate from Stauntoi and
a certificate of rank in work at. Bow
dom college.
Dick" as he is called by a large
number of friends in this city, at
tended the grammar schools of Au-
gusta, and entered COny High school
in the class of 1922. He was president
of the class in his Freshman year.
He left Cony High school to attend
Staunton Military Academy for a
three years course, graduating in
1922 with the rank of platoon SER
geant. He then returned to Cony
High school and graduated in the
class of 1923. He entered Bowdoin

is of the type that makes good Of
f!cers and will no doubt make a sue
cess of this work. His three year
course at Staunton will be of great
assistance to him at West Point, as
he has already acquired many of the
fundamentals of the courses which
he will be required to study. His
friends are very much pleased to
learn of the appointment which is
indeed an honor much coveted by the
young men of the country.
