  HARVARD BEATEN IN BIG BATTLE Dartmouth Breaks Lonu Precedent In Beating Crimson CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 27.-For the first time in 16 years and the third time in the history of football, the Green of Dartmouth waved in triumph tonight over the Crimson of Harvard. A crowd of 52O0O today saw powerful Dartmouth eleven crush the undefeated Harvard ma- chine, 16 to 0. in the stadium here. The big Green eleven unleased an attack with versatility that be- wildered the Harvard defense and sent the Dartmouth team twice over the goal line for touchdowns in the first half. Just as the third period chance to score when Hammonds S kick from the 22-yard line went wide. Again, as the fourth period opened. a tremendous 25-yard for- ward pass, Hammond to Hill over the Dartmouth goal line, was broken up. These two scoring chances marked the high water mark of the Crimson attack which ebbed before the re- newed onrush of the Dartmouth backs. Dartmouth’s offense earned it nine first downs against three for Har- yard, all of the Crimson’s being made in the great effort in the third period. The lineup ana summary.
