  LOUD STANDS OUT AS YALE TRIUMPHS| Dartmouth Fails to Hold Slip perry n-Bromberg Stars CdutlouS game OIL WdlunB IOr tle breaks Saturday, took advantage of them when they came, and humbled Dartmouth by $50 in a nasty down. pour turned the field into a treach- | erous swamp and made ball-handing difficult and running hazardous 1t was most uninspiring game, | with % mud covered, rain soaked steaming figures carrying on under disheartening conditions which rob- | bed the game of its color. The sole ! outstanding feature of the afternoon was 6O-yard run by Brewster Loud | Yale’s new sophomore back. who has been rising steadily to stardom during these autumn days. Loud found a hole in the Dartmouth line in the second period, charged through and around the Green backs. and left all pursuit far behind in whirlwind dash for Yale’s sec cnd touchdown of the day. Loud is not johnny Garvey and is not SO certain to make short gains as is the big Eli threat. but once Butch” gets through the first de- Tense he has the greater speed and stands the greater chance of break ing away from the defensive backs for spectacular long gains. Garvey did not see action Saturday. nor did Quarterback Johnny Hoben. both men having injuries which rendered 1t advisable for them to be kept out | OF play. Contrary to expectations. however. Eddie Decker started the game and Hubbard was sent in dur | ing the second half. 1t was a bat | tie of substitute backs, with Marsters | and his fellow Dartmo uth stars also crippled. SO that things were even as far as injuries were concerned. The visitors threw away several chances by poor handling OF the slippery ball. A wcefully bad pass from center ended Dartmouths first scoring threat, Harris gave Yale its initial touchdown by fumbling as he was about to kick from near his own goal line. and on several other occasions the Indians lost ball or ground on similar misplays. Yale played game of alert waiting and seized its opportunities when these ! breaks came. 1t was Captain Eddy | who retrieved Harris tumble and / made the touchdown, but the other ltnemen were nearly always through the Green line and looking for some thing by which they might profit. Each team made only one real march. In the last period Yale took the ball at midfield and with Swift doing most of the work on wide end ! runs. brought it to the ten-yard line, | from where Billhardt tossed to Nc Even for the last touchdown. Dart mouth then staged the most thrilling push OF the game. stamping nearly three-fourths of the length of the field on short forwards and runs by johnson and McDonough, but with first down on the Yale five-yard line the attack petered out and the Blue took the ball on downs. AS said above. Loud was the star OF the afternoon and showed that he can fill Garvey’s place with no loss to the teams strength. He needs more Of hole than his model but he Is better in the open field and his punts are longer switz, who was really the regular quarterback on Bunnell’s 1926 team but who made a poor showing last year, sprang back into prominence in the closing minutes through several long runs around end and his vicious tackling. The Yale line was not as firm as usual, but this may be at tributed to the difficulty of tackling slippery, rain-soaked men. The backs stopped the feeble ghost of Dartmouth’s Wanted passing attack. not a single Green forward being completed until late in the fourth period. The Blue backs We’re fire. quently penalized for starting too soon, but poor timing must be expected with patched-up team. All in ALL it was not a bad showing for a second team Having saved two of his star backs from further punishment and been lucky enough to come through without any further injuries. Coach Hal Stevens is likely to give only light duty to his regulars in Saturday’s game with Maryland. preferring to save them for the Prince. ton and Harvard encounters. He adopted new tactics this week by making no substitutions until well into the third quarter. Brombcrg Prevents Score Gaylord Brombers. the New Brit ain lineman playing with Dart mouth. played only a portion of the. second quarter, but in that brief in terval he kept Yale from adding one point to its score. Yale elected to run the ball in trying for its sec ond point after touchdown. but Bromberg broke through and nailed the runner in his tracks. Sherman. another Dartmouth guard. played in tough luck. He was injured on the opening kickoff but finally stayed in. On the kick off for the second half he was hurt again and had to be carried from the field. McE.wen, Yale end. let himself in for the worst booing of the season when he tried several times to throw a Green player who had been forced out of bounds. He drew not only the wrath of the stands but a 15-yard penalty. McEwen has shown this tendency before, especially in roughing kickers.
