    HARVARD BUSHES TWICE OVER DARTMOUTH GOAL LINE. Score 12 to 3-Hanover Eleven Scores on Captain Tobin’s Place Kick. Dartmouth’s goal line was crossed for the first time this season on Sat- urday, when Harvard scored two touchdowrs in the second half and de- feated the Hanover team 12 to 3. Dartmouth was stronger than against Princeton, but had nothing that made the Crimson team show it’s full hand. All the Harvard players came through the game in good shape, with the exception of Captain Fish. who retired after the first half, after re- ceiving two severe blows in the chest.

Wilmington boot ed an easy goal. A Crimson procession down the field placed the ball on Dartmouth’s
