...country, so long under Neyland that it is rumored that the football extras of the Knoxville newspapers are made up before the games-leaving only the space for the score to be filled in when the results of the slaughter come over the wire. (Egad! And slight pause to cool...
...scale defense preparations, the peoples of the Low Countries began to experience a real war of nerves, complete with mobilizations, floodings, frontier incidents (see p. 19).
