the Naval Academy team which last year
administered to Columbia its only defeat of
the season.
That was one of the most spectacular games

high pitch, went into the second quarter with
Columbia leading by single point, z to 6.

seven or eight minutes left in the
~ fourth quarter. Columbia at the
moment was on top by two touchdowns to
one. But as you know and as we coaches GER
tainly realized there on the windswept bench,
a one-t touchdown lead can be wiped out on a
single play by a smart forward -passer, a
receiver who can grab that ball and defense
which is caught mapping.
There on the bench We had been waiting to
see Dartmouth turn on its overhead game, the
hope of the trailing team in the last quarter.
We had not long to wait. Held momentariy

in the late minutes.
But sophomore quarterback of Columbia
whose name was Cliff Montgomery, was not
caught mapping With the perception that
helps to make keen back keen, he came up
and intercepted the throw: then he started to-
ward the sideline. To have advanced straight
toward the phalanx of green ahead would have
been gridron suicide.

Dartmouth team, covering as good team

kill. Between them, narrow lane. On the
bench could almost hear Monty thinking.
