DARTMOUTH STAR
HEADED FOR ALL
AfllERICAN BERTH
Bill Morton Has Led Green Team
Since Departure of Al
Marsters.
SIDELIGHTS
, By Phil Alston
SOUTHERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS
The big Green team of Dart
mouth has had an up and down
season, but that won't prevent
Bill Morton .making the all
American team.
Last year the Dartmouth
quarterback beat out Albie
Booth for all-Eastern and this
year is considered the class of
all field generals in the nation.
Morton is an ideal quarter
back. He can kick, ranking with
the best in the land in that de
partment; his passing to Bill Mc
Call has been Dartmouth's main
defense this year; he can run
with the ball, and above all, he
is a great blocking back.
In the Dartmouth - Harvard
game he completely outplayed
his nearest competitor, Barry
Wood, outkicking him ten yard3
on the average, and also out
passing him, in spite of the fact
that Wood's last ditch pass to
Hagemen won the game for the
Crimson.
Morton, or "Air Mail," as he
is called, broke into Dartmouth
football dramatically, for when
they carried Al Marsters off th
field in 1929 in the Yale game,
Morton had the difficult task of
filling the shoes of the great
"Special Delivery," and his rec
ord for three years is enough
proof of how well he carried out
his duties. By his great line
plunging against Brown and Cor
nell, Morton established himself
as a star in the making.
Last year it was Morton the
punter and his sensational work
against Harvard that enabled
the Green to win, 7-2. His line
plunges against Stanford scored
in the 14-7 game in the west. I
This season has seen the third
phase in Morton's development,
that of the passer. Thus he has
combined line crashing, punting,
and forward passing in his sen
ior year. Critics call Morton the
greatest passer in the east if not
in the nation. He teams with
"Wild Bill" McCall and the fam
ous Morton to McCall attack has
scored against four major op
ponentsHarvard, Yale, Colum
bia, and Cornell. Incidentally,
against Yale, Morton kicked two
field goals to tie the score at
33-33.
' Nor is football the limit of the
former New Rochelle, N. Y., high
school star. Last year he was
picked on the College Humor ail
American hockey team, and is
also a star baseball player.
HARVARD LAWYERS ARE
PROHIBITION OPPONENTS
Carolina closed its 1931 foot
ball season with a little more
than fair success Thanksgiving,
and left little room for com
ment. The record books show
four wins, three defeats, and
three ties. Not a very impres
sive record, but the Tar Heels
annexed the Big Five for the
third time in six years, which
shows they were not without
some class, and most of the losing
scores indicate that Carolina had
a team on the field that demand
ed respect at all times.
Johnny Comes Back
Johnny Branch "came back"
with a bang Thursday, and we'll
make it our vote that the Cava
liers and other Southern teams
are rather glad that Johnny was
making his final appearance as
a ball carrier hereabouts. He
certainly covered himself with
that well-known blaze of glory,
and if there ever was any doubt
that he is one of the south's
greatest, we fail to see where
there remains any room for that
doubt now.
Branch was playing his last
erame. and along m the same
category were Rip Slusser,
Theron Brown, Ellis Fysal, Red
Gilbreath, and Butch Mclver,
each of whom played some great
ball this year and is bidding seri
ously for All-State hbnors.
Brown turned in some the pret
tiest work we've seen for a long
time, and to consider him among
the All-Conference stars would
not be amiss. All of these boys
mentioned above are going to be
missed next year, and it will be
quite a job to find men to replace
them.

Sports Editor of McGill Daily Thinks That Change Will Make

(By Bob Bowman, Sports Editor

The general concensus of opin -ion
in Montreal is that the intro
duction of the forward pass to
Canadian football has been high
ly successful, not only for inter
collegiate but also for Canadian
football in general. The pass has
speeded up the game almost to
an extent that the old hard
hitting style of two bucks and
a kick is gone. The teams that

mages, and it this ruie is not

is the penalty to the defending
side, and a loss of down to the
attackers.
Passes Similar
The actual1 pass in Canadian
football is very similar to the
American pass. The thrower
must be five yards behind the
ine of scrimmage when the ball
eaves his hand, and it must
cross the line of scrimmage by
five yards before the attacking
side can receive it. If the pass
is not completed and hits the
ground the play is called back,
and the attacking side loses a
down. If the pass is thrown in
side the defending side's twenty
five yard line, however, and is
not completed there is a loss of
a down and ten yards as the
penalty.
That is about all there is to
the Canadian forward pass, ex
cept that the runner must not
be interferred with in any way
once he gets three yards beyond
the line of scrimmage.!
Pass Speeds Up Game
The result of the forward pass
here has been not only to speed
up the game, but also to make
for larger scores. Of course, in
Canadian football a touchdown
only counts five points, and the
convert one. There is an addi
tional way of scoring by down
ing the receiver of a kick behind
his goal line. This is called a
"rouge," and counts one point.
A successful drop kick m
Canadian football counts three
points, and also a placement. A
forced rouge, that is where the
ball carrier of a team is pushed
back over his own goal line,
counts two points.
It is hoped that the introduc
tion of the forward pass to
Canadian football will make in
ternational intercollegiate games
more possible. The experiment
was tried several times under
the old rules, one team playing
under their own rules for half
the game, and the others being
at home in the second half. It
was not very successful, how
ever, for the Canadian teams,
while more than able to hold
their own in their half, could
never score as much as the
American teams when the other
style of play was in force.
Entrants for the fall intra-
mural boxing tournament began
their last week of practice yes
terday with light workouts in
the Tin Can. The squad this
fall is one of the smallest in in
tramural history here, but with
the Thanksgiving holidays past
several new names have been
added to the lists.
Only about thirty men have
signified their intentions to try
for intramural crowns next
week, but practically every man
entered has taken enough work
outs to make himself eligible for
competition. The intramural
department has ruled that at
tendance at five practice sessions
is necessary before any man will
be allowed to fight.
Five days are left in which
candidates may get in their re
quired workouts, but those who
do not have time to fill the re
quirements will be given the op
portunity to qualify themselves
by doing extra work over the
coming week-end. All men who
have been out for freshman
football this season will be auto
matically eligible upon their ac
ceptance by Coaches Rowe and
Allen.'
The tournament will be run
off Tuesday and Wednesday, De
cember .8 and, 9, with, the open
ing bouts tentatively scheduled
for Tuesday night. The finals'
will take place Wednesday night
and the semi-finals Wednesday
afternoon. Whether or not there
will be fights Tuesday afternoon
and night depends on the num
ber of men competing.
