By the time cold currents over Hudson Bay finally put an ice pack on Tourist Hazel, the eighth hurricane of the season had blown up into the year's worst, and the autumn storm...
...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...
