...middle of the first period. Noble fell back to his own 10-yard line and booted a soaring punt that bounded past Stafford and rolled to the Crimson 10-yard mark. This kick changed the complexion of the game in an instant. Harvard now had its back to the wall, and a moment later Captain Coady tried to kick from his 25-yard streak. The Crimson line buckled; Richards, Yale tackle, took the ascending pigskin on his chest, and the ball rolled across the goal line, where the alert Sturhahn pounced on it for the score. This sudden fall from...
...this sentiment are epitomized the conflicting points of view of Filipinos and Americans about the Philippine problem. When we went into the Islands twenty-eight years ago, we promised to establish law and order, to eliminate disease, to break the dense wall of illiteracy, and to prepare the many conflicting tribes for unification and ultimate self-government. This program we have not yet completed. In spite of this the Filipino politicians cry for "complete, immediate and absolute independence."

Both teams have taken the measures of Dartmouth rising to their supreme heights of power in overthrowing the Big Green.

The floor measured 100 yards long and 30 yards wide. The court was not enclosed at the ends, but the side-walls were parallel, and rose to a height of 25 feet. At the center of each of these side-walls, near the top, projected a stone ring some 14 inches in 11-ameter, fixed perpendicular rather than horizontally, as is the case with the modern basketball hoop. This arrangement made...
...galloped like Notre Dame's "Four Horsemen" of a few years ago. Four speedsters, shifty, hard-charging, with an uncanny knack of slipping out of the grasp of a tackler who apparently had them downed, theirs was the glory of the day. Slipping through gaps in the Crimson forward wall, they tore off big gains, and gave an exhibition of sustained and versatile power that stamps them as one of the greatest carrying combinations of the season...
