DARTMOUTH FRESHMEN TOP ERRATIC YARDLING TEAM 19-13

The Freshmen had the first and last say about scoring in Saturday's game with Dartmouth 1944, but in between the Indians pushed over three touchdowns, and that was enough to give them the Stadium contest by a 19 to 13 count.

When the Yardlings were good, they looked like and eleven with a future, but when they weren't clicking, they seemed to provide a perfect example of what some Boston sportswriters have been saying about Harvard football most of this fall. For five minutes at the very beginning the Freshmen seemed powerful and well coordinated. Again just before the half they staged a drive which the half-time whistle cut short on the Indian 11: And Chief Boston's men were going strong at the very end of the game. Except for these sparks of talent, however, the picture was pretty drab.

It took the Crimson just eleven plays to march the eighty yards between them and the goal the first time they get possession of the pigskin. Wayno Johnson and Cleo O'Donnell took turns running the ball to the Dartmouth 32, and there Wayne faded back to toss a pass over the Indian safety man to Cleo, who went over the goal line standing up. For good measure Cleo held the ball while Wayne kicked the extra point.

Dartmouth tied it up late in the half when George Slusser bucked over from the two and Hood kicked the point. The third period was tinged a deep green. The Indians outgained and outkicked the Crimson, and went ahead when a Douglas-Kulawick pass carried 37 yards for a touchdown. Bob McLaughry bucked over for the third Indian score in the middle of the last quarter, giving the visiting eleven a substantial 19 to 7 lead.

With time running out, second string Marcus Beebe started throwing passes all over the lot, connecting first to Walter Wilson for a 20-yard advance, and then passing 23 yards to John Teal for the score. The game ended on the ensuing kickoff.
