...with thrills. With the score 6 to 3 in favor of Harvard, and only a few minutes to play, Dartmouth started a march into Harvard territory. A Dartmouth score seemed imminent when Percy Jenkins '24, breaking through on a passer, blocked the toss, and without slowing up caught the ball before it struck the ground and raced to a touchdown...
...treat to watch. Ever dangerous is the Dartmouth quick play off tackle, and difficult to stop is the cut back end runs with four interferers, but most dangerous of all is the long forward pass.

So frequently was this astounding fruitery perpetrated that one might reasonably have been lead to believe it to have been a maneuver included in the Field Manual. All these preposterous and gaudy fabrications being based, of course, on the supposition that the American reading public...
