HANOVER. N. H., Nov. IL
With their supposedly inferior
linesmen performing in inspired
fashion and Johnny Clayton pass
ing with deadly accurately, the
Dartmouth Indians toppled mighty
Cornell out of the undefeated
ranks with a spectacular 1877 vic
tory today before 1900. the
largest football crowd in this
ancient college towns history.
The IthacanS, who had reeled
of IL unbeaten games in a row
since bowling to Army last season,
opened in savage fashion and
chalked up an early touchdown on
q 44-yard pass launched by Hilary
Chollet to Winger Walt Bruska.
Chollet made that long heave after
taking lateral from Pete Dorset,
the Cornell passing threat.
That setback was a blessing in
disguise for the Indians. who
promptly settled down and out
played their highly regarded Ivy
League rivals during the remained
of the exciting contest.
Early in the second period.
Fullback Herb Carey scored the
first Dartmouth points by nail
ing Chollet in his end zone for a
safety. Cornell had taken a punt
on its II and had been set back
to its by an Illegal hands pen
atty.
Clayton's Passes Click.
Shortly after the hard driv-
ing Carey intercepted q Dorset
pass on Dartmouth's 43 and re-
turned it to Cornell's ~. It was
the first such passing failure that
Cornell artist suffered since the
1948 Dartmouth game.
Bob Tyler banged two vars and
Clayton cut loose with a 20-yard
pass to Rowe before feeding that
winger a touchdown heave from
the 2.
That score enabled Dartmouth
to ruin an undefeated Cornell
season for the fifth time in the
series that started back in 1900.
The historic 80 fifth down"
game here in 1910 was the last
such Cornell tragedy.
Apparently convinced that two
points were much too thin a mar
gin, Dartmouth ran and passed
for a second touchdown midway
through the third session. It al
SO was made on Clayton Rowe
aerial, from five yards out.
Johnny Chapman. the Indians
defensive left halfback, set the
stage for that "clincher" by re-
covering Frank Miller's tumble on
Dartmouth's a.
Pass to Rowe Clinches.
Following Chapman's recovery
Of MiIler's tumble. Clayton started
his mates rolling by tossing to the
sure-handed Rowe on Cornell's
As. Gerro Sarno, Bill Roberts and
Tyler ripped through the tackles
as Dartmouth banged to Cornell's
S, from where, on third down
Clayton again reached Rowe In
the end zone. It was that wing
ers' 33d successful passing catch
of the season and his fifth touch
down.
Dorset, who attempted all but
two Of Cornell's 20 passing at
tempts, clicked off four of them |
in row late in the game, after
his forces had returned punt to
their Is. The first overhead in
that belated series was a Is
yarder to Bruska and the third
and fourth were 80 and 10 yard
dips to Chollet. Dorset then had
two failures before Tom Collins
checked that overhead drive by
racing % yards with an intercep-
ton on the third last play of the
upset game.
