...present Harvard Stadium was completed and the Crimson athletic officials decided that a Dartmouth football game would be a fitting baptism for the new arena. The Big Green accordingly made its annual trip to Cambridge, dedicated the new Stadium, and incidentally carried off its first gridiron triumph over a Harvard team by an 11 to 0 score.
