  Dartmouth Defeated By Harvard, , N-14 CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. “a. Dominating the play most Of the so minutes he was in action, Capt. Dick Clasby inspired Harward to a 20–⁠14 victory over Dartmouth today as the Crimson celebrated the 50th anniversary of it’s famed stadium. Clasby’s passing did much to permit Fullback Johnny Culver to slam for two touchdowns from seven and two yards out. And the Crimson’s clincher resulted from Clasby’s 54-yard scoring throw to Dexter Lewis in the third period. But the greatest play Clasby made was nullified by a penalty It was a 105-yard runback of a Dartmouth kickoff in the final quarter. Clasby came out straight from his end zone, cut to the left at the 20 and raced down the side line. But a teammates clipping brought the ball back to Harwards 80. Dartmouth, which opened the stadium back on November IA, 1908, with a stunning Ito vic tory, owed both of its touch downs to short passes from Bill Beagle to End Dave Mclaughlin.
