Dartmouth's junior varsity backed into the curtain-call of a football tragi-comedy against the Crimson jayvees yesterday by winning, 13 to 7.

The dramatic elements stemmed from the incredible misuse of essentially good plays which have been whipped up by Tuss McLaughry and Art Valpey for their respective senior outfits. Statisticians stopped counting after the sixteenth fumble.

Harvard's lone score, which came in the second period, resulted from a pass that was batted by an Indian defender into the arms of Crimson guard Bill Rosenau. The longest play of the game--a 37-yard heave from Dave Warden to Pete Leavitt--had put the ball on Dartmouth's six.

Breaks Set up Scores

Both of the victors' touchdowns were negative triumphs. A blocked kick was fallen on in the Crimson end zone during the first period, and the game-winning tally followed recovery of a Harvard fumble on the one yard line.

The Crimson starting lineup: le, Leavitt; lt, Cowen; lg, Stensrud; c, O'Leary; rg. Rosenau; rt, Dunker; re, Bolster; qb, Edmonds; lh, Kenny; rh, Warden; fb, Colten.
