Brown Defeats Dartmouth 23 to 0 in Rough Contest
Brown won the rubber in a game against Dartmouth 23 to 0 though the real play suggested a closer match. Dartmouth was hampered by injuries to Glaze and De Angelis and fielded many freshmen against Brown's seasoned lineup. Mayhew scored twice after fluke runs, while Dartmouth struggled to move the ball and relied on punts, with McDevitt punting against the wind and Tobin, Pevear, and Brusse noted for sturdy center play.
