...Dartmouth, while necessarily playing good football to win by such a score, displayed little advance over the game of a week before. A week later Williams was defeated by the score of 39 to 0. It is doubtful if a stranger contest was ever played in which splendid strength and decided weakness were shown by the same team. Coached to play high and diagnose the opponents' attack, the Dartmouth line was frequently pushed backward for long gains by the low-charging Williams' linemen.

A forward pass hit Ashbaugh's hands and went outside where it was recovered by a Brown man. McKay made first down just across midfield. After...
