...lead down to eight points. What followed were three Cambridge tries in quick succession, one of them on a brilliant play which neatly illustrated one of rugby's advantages over football. R. C. S. Dick, Cambridge centre three-quarter, running for the Harvard goal, saw two tacklers coming headon. He kicked the ball in the air, ran between the tacklers, caught the ball as it came down ten yards from the goal line, scored an easy try.

In one race a blue sloop in front of all the rest had a collision with a swan and was forced off the course while hundreds of people watched the others, ship models, big in their grace, sweep on, racing in a regatta held by the Bureau of Recreation on a lake in Central Park, Manhattan. A deaf mute, one Raphael Freedman, won first prize with a boat made of aluminum...
