...Woolaroc flew smoothly. In the night an oil brush slipped under the floor boards, and began a pounding vibration; a sound like pistons blowing. Goebel and his pilot, W. C. Davis, seized the water bottle and emergency rations and began peering below them for a soft spot in the sea. The brush vibrated itself into sight. They flew on. They saw land. They saw planes coming to meet them. An army flyer circled close and held up one finger. They knew they...
...silk, silent on the shiny green leather of China turf, each holding in his hand a great smooth ball of polished wood. It was a picture in suave bright colors infused with a slow and graceful motion. There would be a swish of light brilliance above the lawn, a brush of spinning wood on grass, a far-away microscopically delicate click as wood touched porcelain.

Mr. Lawrence determined to do likewise. This was no easy task for a man past youth to set himself. Yet it was accomplished. Six months after his misfortune, he had attained sufficient skill to have occasional works...
Today's game will provide a stiff conditioning brush for the Crimson nine in preparation for the Yale series next week. Coach F. G. Mitchell has been shifting his lineup in the past few games, testing various combinations with an eye toward discovering the most effective alignment to send against the Blue in the impending series. The nine which will meet Tufts today is undecided. Since a left-hander, will probably be on the mound for the home team, it is possible that the Harvard mentor may decide to place G. E. Donaghy '29, a strong right-handed hiter...
