BLA|K MAKING
HEADWA At
DARTMOUTH
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

eleven reeled OH the turt OF Cne
ivy grown stadium on Saturday
afternoon, Dartmouth students
cheered for a fighting team in
green; cheered for a smiling, au
burn-haired coach who is doing
a mans job at Hanover.
Dartmouth's head coach is
Earl H. Blaik, known wherever
football is played as Red Blaik
of Army. In his first year at
Hanover, installing new system
of football, he has achieved
signal results. He showed foot.
ball team on Saturday, with
slash and swing and overhead
thrusts. He even used the field
goal as scoring medium.
To be sure the thrill of victory
over Harvard is not exactly new
to Dartmouth. The victory cry
of the Green Indians rang
through the White Mountains of
New Hampshire many a time
and oft. Within a span Of five
years Dartmouth ran the score
to 80 points or better against
Harvard. In 1925, '27 and '29
Dartmouth piled up these i'm
pressive totals. But between 1881
and Saturday, two defeats and
tie game was the Green's sorry
portion.
EIIinger Rejected
SHARING the glory of Dart
mouths football rehabilitation
with Blaik is Harry C. Ellinger,
one time line coach at West
Point. Funny little story about
Ellinger He played four years
of great football at West Point,
and was of All-Eastern caliber.
Yet he was rejected at the end
of his course because of heart
murmur.
Two years ago Blaik was sought
by Yale, but after considering all
the angles, Red refused the bid to
New Haven. 1t was said that Yale
was not enthusiastic about Ell
linger going along with Blaik.
And. ladies and gentlemen, sep
arating Red Blaik and Fatso Ell
linger would be like separating
ham and eggs, Damon and PythiaS
or Athos and DArtagnan.
While Dartmouth was conquer
ing Harvard and preserving its
status among the unbeaten teams
of the East. Army was triumph
ing over Yale down in the bowl.
Next Saturday Dartmouth again
leaves the fastness of it's White
Mountain home to fare away to
New Haven, there to battle the
Bulldog.
Never Beaten Yale
Dartmouth never has beaten
Yale on the football field. The
schools first met in 1884, Yale
winning by score Of 113 to 0.
Dartmouth asked time to consider
that incident, and it was not until
1893 that the Injun met the Bull
dog again. In 1895 the teams
played two games, custom not
unusual at that time
It was not until 1924 that Dart
mouth as much as scored on the
Blue, and in that year they played
a tie at 14-all. In 1880 the teams
fought to a scoreless tie, and in 81
played one of the most sensational
games of all time, tieing at 33-all.
None but the brave picked Col
gate to beat Holy Cross. but the
Maroon, humbled by Ohio State
one week ago, came back and out
played the Crusaders by margin
of two touchdOWnS. Princeton,
Dartmouth, Army and Navy re-
main in the quest for the national
championship among Eastern
teams. Alabama sits at the festive
board in the Southeast. with
Louisiana State College guarding
the glory of the 'Cajun country.
GOphers Plunge Along
In the Big Ten. Minnesota
plunges along madly, and by
trouncing Iowa on Saturday, re-
moved from it's path the team
that critics thought would be the
chief contender for championship
honors.
Fordham's dreams of a spec
tacular return to winning form
were ground under the cleats of
the fast-striding Southern Metho-
dist team in New York. The
Texans were expected to darken
the sky with forward passes. but,
instead, turned on a ground at
tack that was unexpectedly effec-
tive. This, of course, was due to
the fact that Fordham's seconda-
ries were so assigned as to check
air attacks. They could not get
up in time to be effective against
a sound running game.
University of Washington rolls
along like the caissons of the
field artillery. The Cougars
trimmed the Golden Bear of Cali
fornia on Saturday while Leland
Stanford's Cardinal was run to
the peak after a triumph over
Southern California.
