DARTMOUTH SHOWS SURPLUS POWER IN SATURDAY'S GAME

Beautiful coordination and power to burn were the main factors that brought Dartmouth its 10-0 whitewashing of the Varsity on Saturday, but Harvard's own faults were a big element in the defeat. The general showing was definitely below that of the Holy Cross game a week earlier and a bad forecast of the Princeton encounter to come.

There were both a lack of spirit and a presence of error in judgement, such as the failure to meet Dartmouth's continual plays off the short side of the line. Always Harvard unbalanced its line when the Green did, and 90 per cent of the time the play came smashing through the short area, where the Crimson has short-handed itself.

However, the errors in judgement can be remedied by a few golden words of wisdom from the coaching staff. The spirit may come back to meet the threat of a much-favored Tiger outfit. But there are several other points to consider, and they are points that must be worked out in practice before Fritz Crisler comes to town.

Point number one was the difference in carrying between the Green and Crimson. The Indians ran very hard. When the ball carrier took the pigskin from center he headed for the Harvard line full speed ahead, and he forced several yards even after he had been hit. Those Dartmouth men were running low and driving; Harvard was running with less decision, high, and easily toppled over. Another point under this head: Blaik has trained his men to run just as hard when they are running interference as when they are carrying. Harvard blockers wait for the attacker to approach; Dartmouth goes after them. Lastly, Dartmouth has learned to coordinate its merits, while Harvard still leaves much to the individual brilliancy of such men as Jackson, Kelly, and Gundlach.
