Captain Dick Clasby said yesterday afternoon that he considers his nullified 103-yard kickoff return against Dartmouth as "the biggest thrill of my life." Commenting on the controversial clipping penalty which wiped out the score, the Crimson tailback added that the referees "can take away the yardage, but they can't take away the thrill."

Crimson fans can see the dubious decision for themselves at 8 p.m. tonight in Emerson D. All undergraduates and their dates are welcome upon presentation of bursar's cards.

Although the bad shoulders of Cal Lowenstein and Bob Cowles and Bob Cochran's hard luck have received most of the publicity, Coach Lloyd Jordan reports that "Jerry Marsh's leg injury has licked us as much as anything else." If Marsh were, available to back up the line, "it would enable me to put Joe Conzelman in more or put Cal Lowenstein up under the center," he said.
Since neither Conzelman nor Lowenstein has had any defensive experience, quarterback Bob Hardy has been without relief most of the season. Jordan had hoped to be able to rest Hardy and to have him talk by phone to the coach upstairs about strategy during the game.

More to the point for the Crimson, however, was Davidson's 34 to 0 walloping at the hands of Furman. Coach Jordan plays one game at a time, and he'll find Saturday's opponents mighty eager for a win after dropping their first five.
