...first ten chapters, replete with graceful, pipe-in-mouth poses by the author, meticulously initiate the duffer into the serious mysteries of golf. Like any instruction book, this part is all very involved and reiterative, so eager is the teacher to tell all he knows and to be perfectly clear. He advances nothing new or profound, unless it is an emphatic command that the left toe shall "claw" the ground and the eye be fastened not upon the ball as a whole, but upon one particular dimple of the ball. The style advocated is the straight-armed, full-swinging British...
...opening game with Andover is still three weeks off, but Coach Campbell is eager to get under way without loss, of time, as he has set as the season's task the wiping out of the inglorious defeat at the hands of the Yale first-year men last fall.

I suspect him of being impatient with daily journalism, yet I wonder if he is not too nervous, too eager a mentality ever to be contented to confine his abilities to the writing of novels and plays. He is one of those persons whose nervous energy drives them to constant work. There is something about a frequent copy date for a writer of this type that is as necessary...
...last Congress, a number of eager Congressmen tried to secure for their constituencies a number of captured German cannon and other war spoils to stand about in public places as tokens of the bravery of our sons in arms-and of the enterprise of our sons in Congress. The matter was compromised by passing a general bill for 'dividing the War spoils of all kinds among all the States. These trophies are now cluttering up storage space and the War Department must get rid of them...
