...fast bewildering attack coupled with an airtight defense gave the Freshman quintet an overwhelming victory Saturday afternoon over Worcester Academy. The score, 25-14, against the team that had swamped the 1927 five 40-12, was all the more surprising because of the absence of both regular forwards and the first and second string centers...
...When the Baltimore "Orioles" and St. Paul "Saints" went westward after opening the series in Baltimore, the Orioles led 2 to 1. This lead was 3 to 1 after a fifth game.* St. Paul took the sixth with a fifth-inning rally, lost the seventh to Thomas' airtight pitching, then resolutely tied the series with two close games.

There are 72,000 linear feet of them, connected with seven tons of lead to make the joints airtight. The labor of laying them alone is said to have cost $7,500. There is no water nearby nor anybody to use water. What is more, the pipe runs approximately in a rectangle 1,800 ft. long and 1,200 ft. wide, with mirrors in the corners and a double...

Harvard's last victory came in 1920 when a home run by first baseman Jones brought a 1 to 0 triumph...
...game to a 13 to 7 triumph over the University nine last Saturday at Medford. Morrell, the victor of last year's game, was again on the mound for the Brown and Blue, and although somewhat erratic he pitched a reasonably good nine innings supported by the almost airtight fielding of his associates...
