Ederer enjoyed his first exceptional game of the year, averaging 4.3 yards in 12 tries, most of them on effective inside reverse plays. The amazing part of this exhibition was that Ederer's bad ankle had kept him out of scrimmage all week and the doctors were not sure how much he would be able to play Saturday. (No incapacitating injuries, incidentally, resulted from the contest.)

A Clean Game

Although this was, as expected, a ruggedly-played ball game, it never threatened to get out of hand. Penalties to both teams, in fact, totalled a meagre 50 yards.

The clinching touchdown--at 0:38 of the last period--resulted from a one-yard leap by Culver to climax a drive from midfield. The muscular fullback gained 65 yards in 15 plays, and earned the opposition's praise and respect while doing so:

"He certainly changes his direction well." McLaughry noted. "Remarkably well for a big man."

After Culver's score, a series of alternate fumbles gave Dartmouth the ball on its own 38. Miller's passing took the Indians to the Harvard one. With the Crimson line packed to stop a plunge, halfback Russ Smale--a good worker all day-swept wide for the score with two-and-a-half minutes left.

Hank Fry's attempted conversion sailed wide, though, and the Crimson was virtually assured of a tie.

Indians Try Recovery Play

Dartmouth essayed a bit of strategy on the ensuing kickoff. All kickoffs going more than ten yards are "free" balls--the kicking team can recover. The Green booted short, hoping to regain possession for one final drive. But the ball sailed straight at Crimson guard Art Pappas, who wisely smothered the pigskin and Dartmouth's hopes with it
