...elevens. The main object of the practice was to test the defensive strength of the team, and several times the second eleven was permitted to retain the ball after it had been lost on downs. It was of no avail, however, for once the second team, instead of making even small gains, was thrown back in eight plays for a loss of 10 yards, and again on a long series of rushes could gain but 40 yards. There were few long runs; the three touchdowns scored by the first team were the result of steady line plunging. Mills...
...pushing steadily down the field for what seemed sure to be another touchdown. On the 25-yard line, however, the University eleven finally succeeded in stopping the attack, and with the strength of desperation, pounded through Dartmouth's line until the ball was eventually forced behind the goalposts. Even then victory was not assured; but a moment or two later, several long runs resulted in the final touchdown of the game and wrested a hard-won, though not very creditable, victory from what a minute before had seemed like unavoidable defeat...
...might best be done probably by a slight increase in the cost of membership tickets.

...scheme of Mr. Ireland presents other impracticable features. Even if some of the items proposed should be possible at law the bookkeeping expense connected with these complications seems hardly worth while. The making of these 1600 shareholders trustees for purchasers raises the forbidding prospect of complication upon complication. The 1000 student buyers left out of this plan must, after all rely upon the honor of the 1600 to do the proper thing by them; so that the legal situation in the scheme of Mr. Ireland is on last analysis no better than in the plan voted. Under the plan voted...
