One thing is certain: the New Britain team was stronger, but it was up against an easy t nearly come up to advance notices. » The Adams eleven had not tasted de- feat this year and hid won four games and tied one. It was a bittered and Dbeaten eleven which made its way ofi the fleld after the New Britain team had completed its afternoon’s work. Some of the feature work of the local squad was a 72 yard march after the opening kickoff which re- sulted in & touchdown; a 72 yard run by Captain Louis Landino after he had intercepted a forward pass; an end run by Billy Ross which re- sulted in a third touchdown; an in- tercepted forward pass by Potts which resulted in a fourth touch- a blocked kick by Frank Ca- sale and his consequent recovery and dash to tlfe one yard line to be fol- lowed on the next play by an end sun for a touchdown by Landint from the point where Casale was tackled, and another 50 yard march for a touchdown. Middleton and Ross were the stars of their team, not only becouse of their offensive ability but because of the encouraging influence they had on the rest of the team. Middleton was very strong on the defense. Frank Casale was again the star at center and Joe Potts played a whale of a game at right guard while he ws in the contest. He followed the ball like a hawk.

The sole { outstanding feature of the afternoon was a 60-yard run by Brewster Loud Yale’s new sophomore back, who has been rising steadily to stardom during these autumn days. Loud found a hole in the Dartmouth line in the second period, charged through and ‘around the Green backs. and left all pursuit far behind in a whirlwind dash for Yale's sec- ond touchdown of the day. Loud is not Jonny Garvey and is not so certain to make short gains as is the big Eli threat, but once “Butch” gets through the first de- fense he has the greater speed and stands the greater chance of break- ing away from the defensive backs for spectacular long gains. Garvey did not see action Saturday, nor did Quarterback Johnny Hoben, both men having injuries which rendered it advisable for them to be kept out of play. Contrary to expectations, however, Eddie Decker started the game and Hubbard was sent in dur- ing the second half. It was a bat- tle of substitute backs, with Marsters and his fellow Dartmouth stars also crippled. so that things were even as far as injuries were concerned. The visitors threw away several chances by poor handling of the slippery ball. A wcefully bad pass from center ended Dartmouth’s first scoring threat, Harris gave Yale its initlal touchdown by fumbling as he was about to kick from near his own goal line, and on several other oc- casions the Indians lost ball or ground on sim.lar misplays. Yale played a game of alert waiting and seized its opportunitics when these breaks came. It was Captain Eddy who retrieved Harris' fumble and made the touchdown, but the other linemen were nearly always through the Green line and looking for some- thing by which they might profit. Each team made only one real march. In the last period Yale took the ball at midfield and with Switz doing most of the work on wide end runs, brought it to the ten-yard line, |from where Billhardt tossed to Me- Ewen for the last touchdown. Dart- mouth then staged the most thrilling push of the game, stamping nearly three-fourths of the length of the Johnson and McDonough, but with a first down on the Yale five-yard line the attack petered out and the Blue took the ball on downs. As said above, Loud was the star of the afterneon and showed that loss to the team's strength. He needs more of a hole than his model but he is better in the open field and his punts are longer. Switz, who was really the regular quarterback on Bunnell's 1926 team but who made a poor showing last year, sprang back into prominence in the closing minutes through several long runs around end and his vicious tackling. The Yale line was not as firm as usual, but this may be at- tributed to the difficulty of tackling slippery, rain-soaked men. The backs stopped the feeble ghost of Dartmouth’s vaunted passing attack. not a single Green forward being completed until late in the fourth period. The Blue backs were fre- quently penalized for starting too soon, but poor timing must be ex- pected with a patched-up team. All in all, it was not a bad showing for a second team. Having saved two of his star backs from further punishment and been lucky enough to come through without any further injuries, Coach Hal Stevens is likely to give only light duty to his regulars in Sat- urday’s game with Maryland, pre- ferring to save them for the Prince- encounters. He adopted new tactics this week by 'making no substitutions until well into the third quarter. Bromberg Prevents Score Gaylord Brombers, the New Brit- ain lineman playing with Dart- mouth, played only a portion of the second quarter, but in that brief in- terval he kept Yale from adding onc point to its score. run the ball in trying for its sec- ond point after touchdown, but Bromberg broke through and nailed the runner in his tri Sherman, another guard, played in tough Dartmouth lick. He but finally stayed in. On the Kkic cond half he hurt again and had to be carried from the field.

CHAMPIONSHIP RUNNING Fi eld Is Likely to Be Whittled Down More Considerably by End of Week—Schedule Makers Did a Perfect" Job In Arranging Games — Leading Teams Stake All Their Chances Against Dangerous Opponents Saturday—Bitter Battle On For Leadership In Biz Ten Conference. . New York, Nov. § (Z»—The foot- ball returns are coming in slowly but surely to indicate the drift of championship aspirations. Sharply reduced by a Saturday of startling upsets, the.fleld ‘of contenders is likely to be whittled déwn a lot more by the end of this week. ‘Where Michigan, Navy and Notre Dame hit the skids early in the campaign to pass ®ut of the title picture, it took the first November flurry t» remove trom the vanguard such stalwart arrays as New York university, Stanford, Illinois and Colorado college, not to overlook Texas Christian, Texas university, Clemson and a few others of major or minor degree. It the schedule-makers had been notified before-hand they could hardly have turned out a better job than this week in bringing together outstanding contenders for cham- pionship honors in every main area of gridiron conflict. The three major affairs in as many different sectors fikd West Point staking its national champion- ship hopes against the invasion of Notre Dame at the Yankee Stadium, Towa and Ohio State battling for the “Big Ten" leadership at Columbus while Georgia Tech meets the charge of Vanderbilt commodores at Atlanta in the big battle of the Southern Conference race. Four of these teams—Iowa, Army, Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech—have been neither beaten nor tied. Ohio State has a tie with Princeton as the only blemish on its escutcheon while Notre Dame, after early reversals, is moving along at a rate to glve the Army something to worry about. There are at least a half dozen other “naturals’” on the program for November 10, Georgetown, fresh from its upset of New York university in the mud at the Yankee Stadium, runs smack into another undefeated contender for eastern honors, Carnegie. It is an odd circumstance that these two match their speed, skill and brawn on a neutral | gridiron at Albany, N. Y. At the same time another eastern team with a clean slate, Boston College, fa ecnhytignsa otyorwith ssEndfo mi faces anything but soft afternoon against Fordham. Nebraska, after riding rough-shod over three “Big Six" rivals in the Missouri valley sector, has a chance to clinch the champion by beating Oklahoma. Just at present the 5 |Corn Huskers, riding high on the crest of a winning streak, hold un- disputed sway in the valley. They " may come east November 24 to play “|the Army with one of the finest records of any team in the country. The Southern Conference atmos- phere not only will be cleared by the Vanderbilt-Georgia Tech struggle but also by the clash of Florida and Georgia at Jacksonville. All four of these teams are unbeaten and among the outstanding Conference title con- tenders, but on the play so far Tech and Florida bulk more formidably, Tennessee, a fifth championship as- irant, figures to have another easy Saturday against S8ewanee, which was flattened by the steam roller last Saturday. Clemson, after six straight victories, dropped from the top through defeat “Old Miss.” Southern Methodist, having upset the University of Texas while Baylor was bowling over the previously unbeaten Texas Christian eleven, romps into an old rival, the Texas Aggies, this week.
