...crack or a cracked football eleven. So with William. He has his following, reaching as far down as Saco, Me., doubtless, and whether he has a good or a poor play, his following will turn out to see him triumph over the villains and kiss the prettiest girl in the show. The out-of-town trade may miss the kiss in catching the late train home, for it's the last thing on the program; but that's the play-wright's fault...

...judgments remains with us should now fall away in the levelling of war. When a thousand men are put in uniform the incipient politician may not measure the great or the near-great by examining whether their shoes are custom-made, or their hats come from New York. The prettiest fop does not show distinction in company front after an afternoon of drill in column and line formations. The assurance gained in talking to paid and obedient servants does not help greatly in telling a platoon of strong and aggressive men to deploy as skirmishers, and be excessively quick about...

...college goal-tender in the country, with the possible exception of Ford of Princeton. Captain Morgan and Doty were invincible on the defence, and they also played an aggressive game from their positions. Murray and Bierworth, the Yale backs, were also successful in stopping almost every attack. Only the prettiest possible exhibition of team-work enabled the Crimson forwards to play through and score the second goal.
