Kicks were frequent and both sides repeatedly lost the ball on downs. Just before the close of the half Orange advanced the ball to the ten yard line, but here the 'varsity centre stood firm as a rock and took the ball on downs...

A play was originally a rite, a fact which accounts for the extremely conventional character and frequent unreality of the earliest Greek drama. Our modern dramatic realism is a thing of very late development and, though a Roman play was in one sense far from being religious, it retained many traces of its ancient origin. The religion of the Greeks and Romans was almost entirely free from introspection, self-abasement...
