from New Hampshire have sought In

had 1t within their grasp for fieeting

down from the big gray bowl in breath
less attention.

had just intercepted forward pass in

and run so yards for the touchdown
which made the score 30-33. This

through. Mccall tried to outrun them
to his right, saw an eligible receiver
over the goal and faded back, but az
he cooked his arm to let the pass &C
he was smothered under a blanket Of
Yale tacklers. There was another down

The Dartmouth team stayed long
in a huddle. Then the decision was
made. Morton dropped back to his owr
18-yard line and when the ball came
back to Mccall, who placed it on thu
ground, calmly kicked 1t through tng

not win, neither could Yale. And sc

Yale came back with its regulars tc
start the third quarter and in three

Yale still was coasting along behind
an apparently safe lead of 1924 as the
fourth quarter opened, when Todd
about to be tackled, tossed a forward
wildly and this same Mccall gathered
1t in on Yale's 35-yard line and ran for
the Green's last touchdown. Morton

touchdown and one field goal, failed on
this one AMI Dartmouths chance to
win was gone.
