Usage:

...with the conjuring of a masculine spirit out of a bass viol. He finally puts into the mouth of his chief speaker an expression of confidence in this triumph which his readers will hardly share. The characters are flimsy, the narrative is not well articulated, and the style is crude. If one must quote Ger- man, one ought to get it straight; and I, for my part, should think twice before alleging that an "ice-water pitcher" was among the wedding presents of a German youth betrothed to the daughter of a Delicatessenhaendler. Mr. K. B. Townsend, on the contrary...

...line plays. The only game played away from Cambridge was with the Navy at Annapolis on October 19. The team was taken some-what by surprise in regard to the Navy's strength which was underestimated; and the Harvard offense met an opponent which was able to withstand it. Crude work on the part of the backs was plainly evident in the Annapolis game...

Harvard suffered its first defeat of the year at the hands of the Carlisle Indian eleven last Saturday, the score being 23 to 15.

The playing was very loose and crude for this time of the year, and the first team was unable to gain through the second as it should. There was a great falling off in forward passing. This play was worked with considerable success a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday three of Burr's long passes hit the ground without being caught. As a result the University team lost 45 yards in penalties for that play alone. Punts were exchanged frequently on account...

...hard and fast a game as he did yesterday, he should prove a most valuable back. Gilbert's main trouble was his inability to keep his feet. Several times he slipped and fell when he had a clear field before him. Butt's work at fullback was very crude, his fumbles being frequent and costly. Waterbury, who succeeded him, made some excellent gains through the line...
