...skillful German [General Liman von Sanders] stamping with impatience for the arrival of his divisions, expecting with every hour to see his scanty covering forces brushed aside, while the furious Kemal [Mustafa Kemal Pasha, now President of the Republic of Turkey] animated his fanatic soldiers and hurled them forward towards the battle." From this statement it can be easily inferred why, in Mr. Churchill's opinion, the British were defeated on the Gallipoli Peninsula...
...yard forward pass supplemented by a 35-yard run to the goal-line brought Brown's score in the closing minutes of play against Dartmouth up to 14 points.

Judged from their disappointing showing against Princeton, which scored almost at will in the first period, the Crimson backs will have to show a decided improvement if the team hopes to capture the game...
