...ball. The men become thoroughly accustomed to their positions, learn to work well together, and know just how much confidence to place in each other. The result is that playing becomes a kind of second nature to them; they are necessarily quicker in their movement, and more on the alert to pounce right down on their prey without stopping to think about...

Peabody's steady play defeated the Boston attack again and again, and finally sent the ball to the centre, where Blodgett secured it and rushed in.

Eighty-seven is evidently fully as spirited as the traditional sophomore, and eighty-eight is apparently fully as ready to stand up for its rights as the average freshman class. Can it be that the millennium is approaching, when the sophomore...
