...Captain Booth, after practicing with the first team, went over to the second team and ran through a dummy scrimmage. In the second team backfield, with Booth, were Sullivan at quarter-back, Taylor at right Halfback, and Ingram at fullback...
...Bruins under a 32 to 0 avalanche two weeks ago. True, Holy Cross had no easy time beating Duquesne last Saturday, but many of the Worcesterites were at Soldier's Field picking out ragged spots in Harvard play at the time. if both elevens run true to form, Albie Booth and his loyal band will trek back to New Haven Sunday filled with ominous forbodings, not the least of which might be a suspicion that a three weeks layoff is not the best method of preparing to defeat a Harvard team tempered by Indian and Crusader fire on successive weekends...
...little Yale sophomore with a crooked nose, slightly bowed legs and a crest of stubborn dark hair stole the thunder of Army's famed Christian Cagle, made all three touchdowns that won for Yale (TIME, Nov. 4, 1929).

Having provided his team with what seemed a safe margin, Gnome Booth retired to the sidelines, watched Dartmouth creep up. In the last half he returned to the lineup but by this time McCall and Morton were making a turncoat of the jinx that has bothered Dartmouth in previous Yale Bowl games. Morton had made a 94-yd. runback of a Yale kickoff. McCall caught a pass intended for Booth, scuttled 60 yd. for a touchdown. Three minutes before the game ended the score which had been Yale 33, Dartmouth 10 had become Yale 33, Dartmouth 30. Standing on Yale...
