...body to get the new style into his showrooms as quickly as possible. While looking over one recent model, Curtice spotted a flaw in its lines, was told that it was far too late to do anything about it. Said he: "To hell with the time element; let's make the change...
...many times Saturday did offside penalties allow the Green to move the ball out of its territory; too often were nascent Crimson drives stopped short by interceptions or fumbles. It might be noted that in keeping with the chance element of the game the Crimson's only touchdown resulted from a long desperation pass, while its more orthodox power thrust in the third quarter failed both for lack of signal-calling imagination and a determined Dartmouth stand...
