...football coach at Long Island's Woodmere Academy, Poet-Classicist Rolfe Humphries taught his football players something more than buck-lateral strategy. Interested in everything from foreign news to theater, he showed them that a writer is well served by wide interests. One skinny end on the 1935 team learned the lesson particularly well...

After being baffled by the play of Tufts' Leroy Haythorn and Henry Ide who scored their team's first eight points, the varsity tied the score on a layup by Bob Bowditch, then went ahead to stay on a free threw by Bry Danner. Two of the visitors' top scorers were burdened with three personal fouls early in the contest helping the Crimson to maintain a lead of between four and fourteen points...
