It is obvious, when one stops to think of the contagious diseases--typhoid fever, dyptheria, and the like--which twenty years ago held the population in their grip, and which now are rare...
Although a statement that Harvard gives fourteen different courses in elementary mathematics--all called "Math A"--would be gross exaggeration, nevertheless present lack of uniformity among the sections gives just that impression.

Harvard's kicking averaged five yards better per punt, its line was almost invincible, its backs hit the line harder, were trickier in the open, but it simply failed to win. Coach Gar Davidson admitted that he won on the breaks though he conditioned his statement by saying that Army was able to capitalize on them. But on two main breaks, Army was really able to capitalize on only...
