...they approached the bridge, Eliot, still rowing at a lower stroke, began to creep up on Kirkland, and they cut the latter's lead to a deck length when they shot under Massachusetts Avenue. At the mile the Elephants had gotten up to 37 and were leading by inches and as they came down to the finish they were weaving around all over the river...
Especially pleased with his deal was Premier Pattullo, who now has a much bigger provincial stick to wave at Ottawa. British Columbia was coaxed to join Canada's other provinces when they federated in 1871 on the promise that the Canadian Pacific Railway would begin to creep across it in two years, be completed in ten.

Almost speechless in the presence of reporters, luncheon clubs and radio interviewers, he often sits up till 3 a. m. working out plays. When Bierman is creating, his wife and two sons creep quietly about the house. At practice, Bierman stands almost still, speaks in a low voice, nervously twirls a whistle attached to a black cord. He rarely blows the whistle but the cord wears out every ten days. His appearance is extraordinary. He has green eyes, a cleft chin and snow...
