...second down and long, Yohe found Tony Hinz across the middle for an eight-yard gain, setting up 3rd-and-three. A Yohe bomb fell out of reach and Hall was called on to punt again. Dartmouth took over at its own 13 with 6:40 left. Two running plays up the middle went for seven yards, giving Rorke and crew 3rd-and-three. Rorke gave the Green a first down by hitting Chris Keck, a hefty tight-end, over the middle...

The winner: ARCHDUKE FRANZ FERDINAND FOUND ALIVE. WORLD WAR A MISTAKE. A London magazine cited that old joke when it restaged the same contest in the 1950s. The winner: ADENAUER DIES.
