The '55 defense has been particularly strong, except for the 46 to 13 Brown mistake. Against powerful Worcester Academy and Andover elevens, the freshmen kept the scores down to 13 to 0, and 14 to 0, respectively. A fluke safety gave the Dartmouth yearlings a tight 2 to 0 victory over the Yardlings two weeks ago.

Defensive quarterback Brint Donalson will take over the offensive quarterback position, replacing Bob Gremp, who has left the jayvees for basketball. Donalson has displayed undeniable ability on the defensive platoon, and is expected to guide the team for most of the game from a "T"-formation.
