...spectator the Dartmouth game means an exciting spectacular contest. To the Harvard player it means a clean hard fought game in which sudden off tackle plays, and powerful end runs require herculean defensive efforts and in which the fear of long forward passes caught by fleet, sure fingered ends is ever present...
...perhaps the greatest team Dartmouth ever had hesitated until Harvard had established a 3 to 0 lead in the first quarter, and then proceeded under a storm of forward passes from Oberlander to his fleet ends, Lally and Sage, to swamp the bewildered Crimson team by piling up 32 points. This game started Dartmouth off to a season which left it the only undefeated and untied team of the season. Last year A. E.

French '29 and Crosby made star catches of difficult pass chances, and the Crimson's second touchdown came on a long toss from David Guarnaccia '29 to A. O. Fordyce '28, who had only three yards to run. The few lateral passes attempted worked smoothly...
