...blows left the Delta stunned -disoriented, inert, and so traumatized that it could not even assess its own wounds. But now there is a stirring in hot, flat, sunbaked IV Corps, a probing of wounds, an application of first aid, and even plans for recovery...
...early history of Harvard football is both strange and exciting. The first recorded account of a Harvard football game is an epic poem entitled "The Battle of the Delta."
