    DARTMOUTH 41-TO.O VICTOR OVER BROWN Uses Wide Variety of Plays to Get Fourth Win, but Still Is to Be Really Tested. PROVIDENCE. r. l., October 19.- Dartmouth’s unbeaten. high-scoring foot ball squad made the resumpton of its ancient rivalry with Brown the occasion for a continuation of its touchdown parade this afternoon. Scoring in every period except the last, when third-string operatives were holding the fort and kicking or first down, the Indians whacked the Bruins, Al to 0. The Indians, none too sound in the face of Browns early defensive ferocity, gradually got their bearings and scored on a wide variety of maneuvers. some of them made pos sible by Browns glaring mechanical lapses. They went goalward on straight running plays, forward and lateral passes and once by the return Of a punt. Dartmouth has won four games in row, scoring 1876 points and yielding seven and still is to be tested in theory. Today’s defeat was Browns third in as many starts.
