...famous kicking had not as yet been seen and so was not reckoned on, but the so and three quarters was nothing but a contest between the phenomenal kicking of this brilliant half-back and the dogged resistance of our eleven. Moreover the kicking won. Every time Moffat got within thirty yards of our poles his unerring kick sent the ball squarely over the bar, leaving no room for doubt either respecting the goal or the fairness of the kick. Our men start doff with a heavy rushing game and for a time steadily approached Princeton's goal...
According to Ruskin, an educated man ought to know these things: First, where he is-that is to say, what sort of a world he has got into; how large it is; what kind of creatures live in it, and how; what it is made of, and what may be made of it. Secondly, where he is going-that is to say, what chances or reports there are of any other world besides this; what seems to be the nature of that other world.

Travers, however, at last secured...
...George went off with the lead, Snook rushing to the front before they had got half-way round the first lap. A couple of yards divided them as they ran into the straight, when George spurted and again got the lead, this being the order until the finish, something like three and four yards separating the pair. As they neared the straight for the last time, however, George had increased the lead to five yards, and, although Snook struggled gamely, and at one time managed to get within a yard or so of the leader, George immediately went away again...
