1928
Jack Herpel has been promoted again by the New Jersey Bell Telephone Co., this time to manage the company's Essex division. His office is now in Newark, and being the boss, he didn't have to ask anyone's permission before going to the second World Series game at Ebbets Field.
Al Fusonie's boy Doug scored one of the two touch-downs which Dartmouth tallied to beat the University of New Hampshire 13-0 in the opening game at Hanover. On an unplanned pitch-out in the initial quarter, Doug went all the way from the Dartmouth 35 for a touch-down. Doug, a junior, played substitute quarterback in that game and the Penn game.
At the St. Marks (25) vs. Noble & Greenough (0) game on September 29, Jack Phelan noticed a valiant N & G line backer vainly trying to stem the advance of the opposing backs. Checking the program, he found it was a lad named MacPhail who came in as defensive center. Jack looked him up after the game and found that he was Bob Jr. Jack says his play was reminiscent of that day in the Yale bowl in 1927 when Bob with equal zeal and much the same result tried to stop the big Blue without much real help from his forward wall.
Young Jack Phelan, who now weighs 150 and stands five feet eight, has worked his way up to starting quarterback on the St. Marks JV team. At the rate he's going, he and Bob should be facing each other eventually. Father Jack resigned as an assistant attorney general of Massachusetts on May 1 to return to full time private general law practice.
President John Phillips took his son Bob to Hanover in September and got him settled in 305 South Mass, then stayed the balance of the week just to make sure College and the football team got off to a good start. He didn't know how many classmates have sons in the Class of '60, but he saw Jack Kenerson and Amby McLaughlin at the reception for parents and sons.
Ace and Grace Anthony had an unusual experience in August when they went from Maryland to Winter Haven, Fla., to see their son Lee graduate at Bartow Air Base. Lee met Jerry O'Sullivan (Dartmouth '55) at the graduation dance and it didn't take them long to find that their fathers had gone through Brookline (Mass.) high school and Dartmouth together. Jerry and his bride came out to Lee's apartment to meet the Anthonys. As Grace says, "You don't have to travel far to realize it's a small world." (She also reminded us that they have "the most beautiful and the most wonderful grandchild in the whole world," Robin Lee, who will be twelve months old November 1.) Anthony and O'Sullivan are now getting the next phase of their training at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, Tex.
