  COOCH,S CLETER BOOT WON FOR VERMONT After Little Driscoll Had Recorded Three More in Terrific Struggle Which Dartmouth Lost, 8 to 3. | Hanover, N. I’ll, Oct 20. Vermont beat Dartmouth, two field goals to one here Saturday afternoon in the bitter est, closest battle staged on Memorial field in many years. Words cannot de scribe the gallant fight Tom Keady’s plucky Vermont boys put up for three periods, and how Eddie Gooch, sub stitute halfback, stood on his 30-yard line, and won the game with the most beautiful drop kick of the year. The Vermont line stiffened and held, fight ing against the fleeing seconds, when defeat seemed certain before Gooch’s boot. Dartmouth rallied after Fudge Neid- fingers 42-yard placement kick tied the score in the third quarter and battled in desperation in the closing minutes OF play but without avail. Mills, third string quarter, ran back the final kick, off 30 yards, took Harris’ pass in midfeld and fought his way to the two-foot line, only TO be robbed Of place among the Green i’m mortsls by Beck’s savage tackle. He was nailed as he went to plunge across the line. Vermont came from Burlington accompanied by its entire student body and faculty and apparently everyone else in the city. From the first is was evident Tom Ready had primed his man for the fight of their lives, for all overconfidence any Green root cr had held before the game was knocked sky high the minute Carl Beck caught the first kickoff and plunged five yards before being downed in his tracks. Then there ensued long kicking duel. After hectic quarter, marked chief lv by mediocre kicks by both Beck and Harris and more or less frequent fun bling, the teams changed sides and Dartmouth at once started going. The | ball worked down to the Vermont 20 ! yard line. Beck intercepted pass and kicked out of danger. A Green penalty | Of Is yards and Driseoll’s beautiful run Of 80 yards on trick play suddenly turned the tide and before the stands knew il Driscoll had dropped back | and standing on his own 25-yard line, had drop-kicked the first three points 81 the game. The heart breaker came when Beck pass and kicked away rom his goal, averting the touchdown hat had seemed imminent moment before. Neidlinger then brought joy to he Green sections by booting beau iful placement kick from an angled 0-yard distance, thereby tying up the cunt and setting the stage for FIN -h ever more memorable than the srtmouth-Colgate TT tie produced hree years ago. Later, two passes to Beck and rst down by Gooch put the ball with n easy striking distance and Gooch eized the opportunity by dropping a retty field goal from 30 yards That ettIed the game.
