  Harvard Scores First Win Over Dartmouth In Six Years, 1919 By Speciol Correspondent Of The Star CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 25.- Harvard’s talented triple-threat halfback, Dick Clasby, threw two long touchdown aerials and scored once himself today to spark the once-defeated Johnnies to a 26–⁠19 comeback triumph over a fired-up band of Dartmouth Indians. His brilliant performance brought Harvard it’s first win over Dartmouth since 1916. Clasby twice hit Halfback Johnny Ederer in the clear-on throws of % and 80 yards-for Crimson tallies. He bulIed over for a four-yard touchdown and had a hand in the other Harvard march which saw Fullback Johnny Culver scoring from a yard out. A $1,000 crowd in Harvard Stadium saw Clasby gain 103 yards on the ground and complete S of II passes for 64 yards. Dartmouth raced to. a 60 lead in the first quarter on pinpoint passing of Quarterback Jim Miller to Ends Dave Thielscher and Dave Mclaughlin, who scored the touch down. The other Indian score came on short runs by Dick Collins and Russ Smale. A 25-mile-per-hour northwest crosswind played hob with the ball. Poor passes from center and hobbies by the Dartmouth punter Ross Ellis led to some of the top Harvard scoring opportunities. Dartmouth 6 7 @ 6-la Harvard O 13 z 6-o6 Dartmouth scoring: Touchdowns.
