...yard run-back of the opening kick-off in the Holy Cross game literally gave the contest to the Big Green, while if he hadn't been caught from behind in the Columbia clash after a 68-yard sprint, that fracas might have ended in a tie. In the epic battle with Yale last Saturday this great ground-gainer piled up more yards than any other back in the game, not excluding Albie Booth, and pulled off some remarkably spectacular runs. Dartmouth's other great threat, Bill Morton, put on last year one of the most beautiful exhibitions of kicking...

...epic was written in the turgid waters of the Charles yesterday when a fighting Dunster crew went down to defeat under the stern of a Winthrop shell.

No such chance for an untarnished Crimson football record has been seen for many years, and if not further crippled the Harvard eleven has a fine chance for an undefeated season...

...homosexual; Louis and Rhoda are lovers for a while. When you hear Bernard's final speech they are all well along in middle-age; Rhoda has killed herself; the sun has set. The effect of The Waves is less like that of a novel than of an epic; the plane in which the whole narration moves is more like poetry than prose. To this effect the artificial method of the story, in which the characters are like heralds speaking, contributes perhaps as much as the cunningly-contrived sentences.
