With the count deadlocked, the University outfit launched an offensive drive from its own 20-yard line only to have a forward pass intercepted at midfield. Failing to gain ground through the line, the ineligibles resorted to the overhead attack, but Gamache intercepted the ball and the University machine resumed its interrupted march forward which did not end until Sayles crashed through for a touchdown from the two-yard mark...
Colgate had carried the ball 60 yards. On the last down, with a minute to play, they had a foot to go. Signals were called; a desperate Navy team plunged into the scrimmage, and then a few sharp-eyed watchers saw the ball lying on the ground behind the scrum. Russel Lloyd of the Navy saw it too.

...wily pornography has apparently made him so rich* that last week his publication corporation was able to buy an eight-story building, yet under construction in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, to house his activities.

Late in the second period, the 1929 team, with its backfield functioning in steam-roller style, pushed the pigskin to the Senior 15-yard stripe, and seemed to be headed for a sure touchdown, when...
Both men attack on the ground of excessive scholarship, the intensive study of minutae, the coercion of minds in the period of growth into too narrow channels. The man who goes through the mill is to each of these men a repulsive, or at least uninteresting creature. Mr. Pingree believes of holders of this degree that they have "wasted three of the best years of their lives and trent their minds into as tortured positions as Buddhistic fakirs bend their bodies." Mr. Marks says of the same person that "if he wants his doctorate in English, he must Forego knowledge...
