The small band of Terriers who wore the Scarlet and VVhite on that memor- able afternoon of September 28, put up one of the hardest games that the cadets were called upon to meet during their entire season. The team played a n1ucl1 better brand of football. while being defeated by 35 points, than it did the year before when it held the mighty Army to a 13-0 score. There were obstacles to overcome which would have caused many other grid- iron machines to give up on the spot. First of all there was the large Army squad, splendidly conditioned by all-year-round training, secondly, the trip away from Boston, and thirdly. the officiating. Not that the officials favored Army, but one of them proved altogether too strict for the opening game of the season. The game went the regulation 60 minutes, something out of the ordinary for an opening contest. For the first 50 minutes of play all that Army could do was to score one touchdown, the gift of the referee who penalized B. U. 45 yards in three consecutive plays. Hootstein fumbled on the fourth and Army recovered, to score a play later. VVith less than 10 minutes of the game remaining, Coach Biff Jones sent in a fresh team to battle the tiring Terriers. His scrubs accomplished what his regulars failed to do. Forward passes flew high and wide and four touchdowns, in almost as many minutes, was the tale the substitute cadets brought back to their coach. B. U. lost more than the game that sunny Saturday afternoon. Two most promising halfbacks, Phil Hootstein and Cyn Perkins, freshmen, were forced out of the game with leg injuries. They were unable to appear in uniform again for over a month. Individually many of the B. U. regulars outplayed their cadet opponents. This was true, especially, in the middle of the line, where the centre trio of Capt. Arthur Dorfman, centre, and Bill French and Jimmie Dincolo, guards, held forth. They took up the reins where they left off at the end of the 1926 season when they were together last. Dincolo showed no ill effects of his lay-off and battered Capt. Sprague into submission. Twice during the afternoon, the roly poly Jimmie hit the Army captain and All-America star so hard that the big West Pointer took the count. Carnie and Spitzer, ends, Walke, fullback. Perkins, Hootstein and Nelson half- backs, and O'Brien and Marston, quarterbacks, also were brilliant. V l.h.b., Perkins Cliass, Ne-lsonj Cagle fHutcl1insunj,l.h.b.

C.xP1'AIN DoRFM.xN The fruits of the seeds of football first sown by coaches Reggie Brown, Ed Robinson and Hilary lilahaney three years ago, were reaped this past football campaign, when the 1928 B. U. football machine rode on high through the most successful season that a Terrier eleven ever enjoyed. In retrospect of the season the superficial standpoint of games won and lost proves the fact. Only three defeats were chalked against the team. all by opponents who were considered among the leading college elevens of the country. The squad was comprised mainly of veterans. most of whom were with the present coaching staff since its inauguration in 1926. At the start of the season it seemed as though the team would be handicapped by lack of good replacement material in the backfield as several of the star ball carriers of the 1927 team were lost by graduation. However, the incoming class came to the rescue and Cy Perkins, Phil Hootstein, Alden Bass, ivalter Fredrickson, Ted Coombs and Roland Hally more than filled the vacancies. Perkins, Bass and Hootstein were looked upon as regulars. Hootstein caught the eyes of the sports Writers and at the conclusion of the season was placed by many of the scribes on their mythical all-New England teams. He was not the only B. U. player who was thus honored. The veteran center trio of Capt. Arthur Dorfman, centreg Bill French, left guard and Jimmie Dincolo, right guard were the unanimous choice for the middle of the line berths on the all-New England teams, besides being given honorable mention for all-Eastern honors. The players trained under better conditions than ever before. The University spared no expense in giving the athletes all the comforts which other large Eastern universities enjoy. The team had for the first time a field of its own, the gift of YVilliam E. Nickerson, a trustee of B. U. The squad lived at the field in VVeston, taking their abode there in September and quitting at the close of the season. Every man was in the best of condition.

U. forgot the ethics of college football that afternoon and held New Hampshire to a scoreless tie, before the 10.000 students who came to pay homage. Solly Thurman and Hugo Nelson started the game as halfbacks, Al Spitzer at Carnie's end berth and Buckwalter in place of French. Thurman and Nelson ripped the New Hampshire line to shreds, while Spitzer emulated Carnie as a wing. Time and again Thurman would reel off gain after gain, slanting off tackle or circling the ends, with Vvalke and Nelson as his interferers. Spitzer's greatest contri- bution to the cause was given late in the second half when he single handedly stopped TVinkler, New Hampshire halfback, from scoring. Alden Bass, freshman, had just replaced Nelson who was forced out with a twisted back. He was cold and on his first play lost hold of the ball. Winkler was Johnny-on-the-spot and scooped up the pigskin. He set sail for the B. U. goal with nothing in front of him. Spitzer was quick to realize what had happened and followed in pursuit. Chalk mark after chalk mark were passed over by the two speeding figures with the lanky Spitzer gaining on every stride. There were only a few more yards to go when Spitzer left his feet and, appearing like a 75 millimeter-shell, twisted through the air to drop the Wildcat in his tracks. The line did the rest and the New Hampshire scare was over. B. U. had its best chance of the afternoon a few minutes later. Thurman carried from his own goal line to the New Hampshire four-yard line. Four yards to go and second down coming, was the referee's cry. Marston called for a centre buck by VValke, and Crab made a little more than a yard. Again Walke's signal was called and again he crashed the line. It looked as though he went over but the referee decided otherwise. Inches separated B. U. from victory. A pin could be heard dropped on the green gridiron as the teams lined up for the last play. Again ivalke was called upon and the stands were making ready to pay honor to the Salem youth as the first man to score on the new field. With the starting signal ready to be ripped off the line dug its feet into the ground. The signal came and from end to end the Terrier front wall gave a gigantic heave. Dincolo and Dorfman opened a hole big enough for a team of horses. But nothing came through. A mixup had taken place in the backfield and B. U. saved the day for New Hampshire. A few minutes later and the game was ready for the might have been boys . XY . V A J M, .mx ,KC gg I , .2 229 . . . , . 1. ' 41- -.1 1- ..-, . .,, 1 . . ,.,.,,. . ,.
