...first eleven was given the ball most of the time and gained almost at will, the runner being often called back after he had a clear field. They were strong on the offensive. Their interference was at first very ragged; this, however, improved under the coaching of Scott and Forbes. The fumbling on both sides was inexcusable, and this seemed to be their greatest fault. It was impossible to judge concerning the defensive work of the first as, whenever the second got the ball, they kicked immediately, thus not giving the first much chance for tackling.

...Song," by Philip Henry Savage, might better have been called a "Lament." It is, however, not particularly noteworthy. The meaning of what he has to say may have been crystal clear to the author, but to the uninitiated reader it is vague and involved...

Near the little village bushy headed men may be seen tilling the sandy soil and women carrying huge earthen water jars. There is little variety of scenery except on the shores of the Nile where there are dense forests. The Soudan is almost entirely surrounded...
