Conceding the game was a pretty common sense move.

How the hell could the ref give the team another down in the first place? I guess he couldnt count

Er...Stuff like this still happens today, and replays after the game don't mean anything, neither do on-field replays, apparently. Example: Oregon vs. Oklahoma, obvious botch, and I don't even like Oklahoma. The only people I've seen justify the call are Oregon fans (slight bias). Some are sill waiting for their "telegram" from that ref. Oh well, won't be the last time.

dartmouth won in the first place, they just got back what was rightful theirs to begin with. anyhow, go trojans!

Did the ref ever say why he blew it? Here's what I think happened. When the ref was counting the downs in his head after the fourth play, he recalled the penalty, which, in turn, made him think that a down had been replayed ("5 yard penalty, still second down"). (continued. . .)

Referee double-crossing the Lord...so much for Touchdown Jesus, huh? Oops, wrong school...---hb151
