...whole, has been handled rather shabbily by the dramatists. When the eldest generation is not putting obstacles in the way of young love, it is usually portrayed as composed of cynical and dyspeptic individuals ever on the alert to quench the enthusiastic fervor of youth. If an occasional sympathetic portrayal is presented, as in "Old English" the hero is made out to be scapegrace of one sort or another whom one loves partly in spite of and partly because of his faults.

...game was a fight from beginning to end with either team lucky to come out on top. Marsters had what have properly been called five of football's greatest minutes and the "alert atom" of the New Haven outfit put on such an exhibition of clever running as has rarely been seen. The little Eli star is the niftiest player you ever hope to see on a football field. When tackled he lands as lightly as a feather, and quite as often as not he would skip over the sidelines just in time to leave a big Indian defender foolishly...
