...kickoffs were booted into or near the end zone, limiting Wynn’s returns. Junior Thomas Hull averaged 41.3 yards per punt, including a perfectly placed 57-yarder from the Harvard 20 that landed out of bounds at the Penn 23. Penn’s punter Scooter Belasco couldn’t claim the same success. On a bad snap, Belasco tried to run it, and his inability to get the first down gave the Crimson the ball at the Penn 30. BREAKING THE DROUGHT Going into Saturday’s contest, Harvard was an abysmal...

She was not permitted her first romantic screen kiss until 1927, 18 years after...
...wife. As the lights dim over wafting cigar fumes, another gentleman emerges from the wings to deliver a visceral rendition of "Vesti La Jupe" from Pagliacci. All of these tunes were written during the period 1894-1905, and the names of such luminaries as Victor Herbert and Davis Belasco appear in the credits...
