Yale tried to run her halfbacks through the center and she gained considerable ground in that way, but all the long runs with the exception of one by Wurtemburg and one by McClung were made by Gill. Yale scored her only touchdown by a cleverly worked trick. With the ball in Yale's possession on Harvard's twenty-yard line three downs were made in succession. On the third, all the Yale players bunched together in the centre and McClung was put in the middle as if to be pushed ahead by sheer force for the requisite gain. He acted...
...some good tackles although allowing a man to run around his end once or twice. Hallowell who substituted him the second half played finely.

The chief reason for this was that the question of reforming the church was becoming political. When Luther left the Diet of Worms the heart of the people went with him. Princes, cities, and peasantry all took up the new teaching. But there was no united national feeling...
...systematic thinker like Plato and Spinoza. His great achievement was that he taught the importance of clearness in thinking on ethical questions which is called his inductive process of thinking. So it was after nearly seventy years of such noble teaching that he was condemned to death on the ground of religious heresy and corruption of the youth, a man, as Plato says, the best that that generation has ever seen...
