...score with a 26-yd. toss to Sophomore End Pete Varney. Yale's Dowling got that one back with a 5-yd. run, but now the momentum belonged to Harvard as the Crimson defense stiffened, forcing five Yale fumbles in the second half. The big problem was the clock. With less than 2 min. left and the score Yale 29, Harvard 13, Champi went to work. From his own 14, he marched the Crimson 86 yds. in nine plays, hitting Freeman with a 15-yd. bullet that made it 29-21. Time left...
...obvious onside kick-and made the recovery. Back rushed Cham-pi; on first down, unable to find anyone to pass to, he scrambled 14 yds. to the Yale 35. A face-mask penalty on the tackle took the ball down to the 20. More important, it stopped the clock. A draw play gained 14 yds., but then Champi lost 2 yds. trying to pass. The clock read 3 sec.; time for only one more play. Back again dropped Champi, frantically dodging tacklers, searching for a receiver. Just as he was about to be buried under Yale men, he unloaded...
...father bought a home out there but he had his business in town, it was quite a job commuting between West Roxbury and Boston, quite a distance you know. He had a wholesale dry goods business in Boston. He had to get up at 4:30-5 o'clock in the morning in order to get the store open at 8 o'clock. It'd take an hour and a half, two hours by street car from West Roxbury. In those days you come in by horse and buggy, there were only a few cars around at the time...
...Five O'Clock Girl, I think it was. In fact the fellow that was in the show had just quit, and I took his place. And then I went with another show called Dance Man, another one Stop, Look and Listen, all these shows were going on all the time, you'd be with one for four or five months, then out of it. You're looking for something better all the time. Eventually--the beginning of the Thirties there--show business fell apart. Barely lingered on until thirty-three, thirty-four; then everything collapsed along with the economy...
Shortly after Jim's death, Pike returned to Cambridge, where he was suddenly afflicted by a series of inexplicable experiences. Clocks in his apartment kept stopping at 8:19-the hour when James Jr. had died in New York. Books and cards kept toppling over to an angle that matched that of the hands of a clock at 8:19. Eventually, Pike consulted an Anglican cleric who was interested in psychic phenomena; he suggested that Jim was trying to get in touch with Pike from the beyond and recommended the bishop to a "sensitive" named Ena Twigg...
