...Bruins, with not much more to gain than a spoiler role, could provide the upset of the season, a feat they nearly achieved against Yale, before bowing 1 to 0, to an eighth-inning Eli tally...
...modern adaptation, Cinderella naturally becomes a musical, a feat accomplished rather easily with the sprightly tunes of Dick Brown and Clarence Chang, and the lyrics of Lucy Barry and company.

His stubbornness tied down more than 1,000,000 Japanese troops who might otherwise have swept over Asia-a feat that established China's claim to greatness as a modern nation, and won Chiang recognition, at Franklin Roosevelt's insistence, as one of the West's Big Five...
