...dirty weather gathers in this book, as it does continually, the seas thunder, spurt, hurl, burst, cascade, career and cannonade. Poops lurch, hatches groan, bulwarks drown, spars shiver, tumults surge, canvas flogs, human limpets cling to wreckage with bleeding nails, battered limbs, frozen hands, grim resolve. It is a fast-sailing tale of clipper days, stoutly and thoroughly rigged from stem to gudgeon, commanded by a cultured swashbuckler from Nova Scotia, a hammer-fisted, hell-bent "bluenose" skipper, with Nietzschean ethics, Vulcanic muscles, the passions of Poseidon, the luck of Lucifer. When his clipper Aphrodite goes down off Patagonia, this...
...smiled, wound up to pitch strike three; Rice swung, fans shrieked seeing the ball streak far enough from the plate to bring in Harris and Bluege. Pittsburgh also came up to bat in its regular turn, but Walter Johnson was pitching. In 1913 he could pitch a ball so fast that the eye could not follow it.

Coach Hawley's chief worry at present is the dearth of kickers. Against Vermont last Saturday, only two points were gleaned on kicks after the eight touchdowns scored by the green-jerseyed men. Unless his kickers come along fast, Coach Hawley will be at a serious disadvantage in tight games. Tully and Sage, veteran ends, are the only members of the squad who are at all proficient at drop-kicking. The squad possesses no capable place-kicker, and even the kicking off has not been entirely satisfactory...
While the University team was running to an easy victory, the Freshmen were losing heavily to a fast turnout from Arlington High School. The race was an informal one over the new three and one-half mile Freshman track, which starts from the old horse racetrack, following the river away from the Stadium until it crosses the river and reverses along the other bank ending with the University track at the Lars Anderson bridge...
