Andover was twice dangerously near Harvard's goal, but was held for downs the first time, and later lost the ball on a fumble.

"The Cruise of the Scholarship" is cleverly done, and the verse is excellent. "Victor and Vanquished" would be better were it not for a suggestion of those heroic bits in "Pieces for Recitation" which afford so much of the material for grammar school declamation...
