Looking it all over, then, Harvard is going to have a lot of well-trained football brawn to stop if the long victory yell is to be heard in the Stadium this fall when the dusk of a Saturday evening is dropping down on Cambridge. There is a lot of backfield material available; the line squad may overcome its lack of experience and toughness and start working as a unit. The job now rests will Messrs. Casey, Walsh, Fesler, and Lane, who form one of the most capable staff the Crimson has had in years. So while there's life...
...Vagabond idled over the rail of bridge, concealed from the vulgar gaze by the gathering dusk and by the bulky base of the great salt-shaker pillar.

The hearse drove up and out stepped Stewart, clad in a white hospital gown. Negroes dived out a second-story window, through a screen door. By dusk only a handful of the mourners had ventured back...
