A long pass defense drill, with Bill Houry and Jimmy Noonan playing the part of John Clayton, opened the day's work. Then the varsity offense ran through a half-hour of passing and running drills against Dartmouth defenses.

Coach Valpey had some comments on the Dartmouth offense after going through Elmer Madar's scouting reports. "Clayton is one of the better quarterbacks in the country on T-formation work' he said. "Dartmouth's got a lot of good backs, and one of the best passing attacks in the East."

Art also had high praise for the work of the Big Green's ends, Dave Beeman and Tom Rowe. (Beeman, at 6 ft., 5 in., is the biggest man on the squad). "They catch a lot of passes--and Clayton is a very fine passer."

Clayton, whose throws have paced the Dartmouth attack this year, didn't use his talents along these lines much last year. The Big Green, sparked by Hal Fitkin, stuck pretty much to the ground in ending the Crimson, 14 to 7.
