...Late in this tilt, it is stated, the onlookers were treated to the greatest exhibition of generalship ever seen on a football field. It was Harvard's ball within drop-kicking distance and Captain C.E. Brickley '15, injured and on the bench, was sent into the fray apparently to try for a goal from the field and the satisfaction of scoring against Yale in the year of his captaincy. Using Brickley as a decoy, far out of the way of harm, Watson '16, at quarter, proceeded to score a touchdown by a seres of five plays, ending in a forward...
Then came the next season the great moral victory of the Crimson team. With M.A. Cheek '26 playing stellar football an underdog Harvard eleven held the Blue cohorts to a 0 to 0 tie, in weather the most unfavorable. The 1926 fray in the Bowl is remembered by undergraduates for the Harvard touchdown brought about by a pass, Henry Chauncey '27 to W.G.

This new ally was (and is) the so-called "Christian" Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang, master of the largest private...

He found the Laborites preparing to attack his new tax on petroleum fuels from a shrewd angle. They were about to plead with fervor the cause of the-poor-man-with-a-kerosene-lamp...
...falling before the Amazon-like assault? It seems as if the master-believer would be forced to return to defend his hard-won following. Once in Zion City, the clash of the two forces will eclipse any struggle of such intensity as Straton versus Darwin. The McPherson-Voliva fray promises well to be the true battle of the century...
