Dartmouth and Cornell En-
gage in Bitter Grid Dis
pute Today
By FRANK F. O'NEIL

~ dANON Ehs Ne LIZ 49, -
Dartmouth's big day in football
dawned today when the Green
eleven, conquerors of Harvard de-
ploys in battle formation to face
Cornell on the gridiron at Me-
mortal Field. Loud across the
plateau rings the Dartmouth foot
ball cheer. and the crashing echo
rolling back from the green-clad
hills that tumble off into the dis
lance sends the battle-cry billow-
inc back. There is confidence and
hope on all sides today as the
Cornell car rest on siding at
the foot of the town, but there is
not a word of brag, and not an
ounce in the entire town of Han
over.
It's old grad day today UP here.
The men who wore shoulder guards
4 score OF years ago are flocling
back to Hanover. The boys who
tore through enemy lines just a
few scenes back are here, and on
al sides they greet and talk over
the inarvels of the good old days
that viii never come again. And
the youngsters who are living
through the equally good present
that never viii return, listen re7er-
emily to the tales of ancient glory.
A fortnight ago Dartmouth would
have been almost prohibitive
6ayorite. The eleven that smashed
the mighty Harvard might have
conquered any eleven in the coun-
try. It might have stopped Red
Grange. But Dartmouth did not
cover itself with glory against
Brown. while Cornell came furi-
ously in its battle with Columbia.
Columbia men say that Cornell was
a. least four touchdowns better
than the Blue and White, despite
the II to IA score.
Dartmouth is stiIl 3 favorite,
and the preference Is based on
something more than sentiment.
But when that DOIlie OfttaClkIe q
ssmob scene starts working any
thing may happen.
There is foot Of straw on Me-
mortal Field this morning. 1t has
been there for a couple OF days
now. and there liz fear expressed
10
nav slow down the team and cast
q decided advantage for Cornell.
The Ithaca host does not need q
dry field for its famous hammer
strokes off tackle. It does not
need q dry field to mob along on
short sIants inside tackle, or
through the guards on pressure
There win be some terrific tackle
MAY today. Kearney, the Cornell
left tackle, and Parker, of Dart
mouth. are both captains, and both
remarkable players. They have
range and power and speed; they
have perception and the gift OF
diagnosis.
Behind the line oberlander, Lane
and McPhail are favored above Car
penter. Wester and any of the Cor
nell backs. Dartmouth should hold
an edge in punting, for Swede
Ober1ander can drive the ball deep
and high when in form.
Heinie Sage, the Green end who
blocked two punts against Brown
and practically won the game for
Dartmouth, must be watched close
1y all the time. FULLY, the other
end for Green, will be a factor all
the way.
TuIly, incidentally, is a real triple
threat man. He is field goal
kicker of ability, and a clever hand
at passing. Also, he is an actor.
We recall vividIy how he faxed a
drop kick in the Cornell game and
shot a pass to Eddie Dooley for
touchdown.
There is a young man on the
Cornell team, Carey by name. He
Is a scion OF an old Cornell fam.
lily. He is a football ace and
golfing champion. He holds the
Western golf title and the field
goal kicking championship of Cor
nell. He is sure death from the
45-yard line.
Jesse Hawley's personal operative
said that the only real way to
check Carey was either to keep
Cornell inside of its own 3O-yard
line all the time, or else stop play
ing Cornell until Carey has passed
into the ranks of the ubiquitous old
