A regular emailer shared a link to a few fun clips from Dartmouth's storied football past that are available for sale by Critical Past, "a team of archival research, film, and Internet professionals, working together to create one of the largest privately held online archival footage sources in the world."
Among the available clips are:
- plays from Columbia's 35-14 win over Dartmouth on Nov. 11, 1961 before the largest crowd to see the Lions in nine years (link)
- the famous Fifth Down Game against Cornell in 1940 (link)
- a few plays from the 1945 Dartmouth-Holy Cross game with the Old Redhead, Red Barber, calling the action (link)
- Dartmouth-Yale in 1929 (link)
- Dartmouth-Yale in 1938 (link)
- Dartmouth-Cornell in 1938 (link)
There are also clips from a 1938 game billed this way: "The Dartmouth Big Greens defeat the Missouri Tigers in a football game in Princeton, New Jersey." (link)
Um, Tigers yes. Missouri? Not so much.
