BOWDOIN.NEW HAMPSHIRE ALPHA, DARTMOUTH COLLEGE.At this season of the year the interest of the college is, as usual, centeredupon football. Coach Folsom and trainer Bowler, assisted by a number ofyoung alumni, have developed from a squad of light and inexperienced mena fast and well balanced eleven, not quite so strong as last year's, perhaps,yet remarkably good, when one considers the handicap with which it started.The most serious difficulty at present is the lack of good second stringmen, resulting in a very evident loss of efficiency when any of the first teamare taken out of the game. This was particularly noticeable in the gamewith Colgate, which we lost by a score of 16-6, and with Amherst, whichresulted in a tie, 0-0. On the other hand, we have defeated MassachusettsState, University of Vermont, Holy Cross, Williams and Princeton; the latteron her own grounds, by k score of 6-0. Harvard and Brown are yet to beplayed, and, judging by compaxatrve scores, Dartmouth should give both ahard game.* A 0 is represented on the team by Bro. Bankart, '06, at left tackle, Bro.Smith, '07, first substitute right tackle, and Bro. Chase, '06, center on thesecond team. Bro. Bankart's playing has been deserving of specie! Commentthis year, notably in the Colgate game, where he scored on a sixty yard run,and in the Princeton game, where he made the winning touchdown. But,aside from these two incidents, his whole work has been steady and strong,both on the offensive, and on the defensive.In the other activities of the college, New Hampshire Alpha is doing hershare. Bro. Oakford, '06, is editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth Magazineand manager of the musical clubs. Bro. Neal,'06, Bro. A. G. White,'o7, and
