...uprights. This was the only field goal the University attempted, but Neville, Comerford and Legore each tried one unsuccessfully for Yale. All three were from beyond the 40-yard line and the only one that approached success was Comerford's placement kick from the 42-yard line, which hit the upright almost on a level with the cross...
...total distance of 80 yards including the roll, and it was this kick which put the ball in Yale's territory for the greater part of the first period. Horween also prevented a possible touchdown, or at least a safety, when Robinson, misjudging one of Legore's punts, was hit by the bounding ball. Horween dove under Moseley and recovered the ball just as it was about to roll across the Crimson goal line. Legore's punting was decidedly off form for twice he kicked straight up into the air. The University failed to take advantage of these breaks, however...
...bursting of a volcano. Two hundred yards off, above the trees, a column of huge rocks, lumps of earth, tree-trunks and probably numerous human limbs, rose slowly and majestically. The upper fragments, as they rose, seemed to advance menacingly in our direction, as if they must surely hit us when they returned to earth. They seemed suspended in the air for an indefinite space of time, as if there was no hurry at all about their failing back. They seemed to cross and criss-cross in all directions, now obscuring half the sky. Gradually the mass assumed the shape...
...with accurate investigation of present conditions and thus both evede disasters and select our lines of progress, the whole modern idea of enlisting experts for the scientific study of national economic problems may as well go to the floor and the nation rub on as best it may in hit-or-miss fashion. Why look before you leap when that means "belogging and postponing the issue"? Nations that always acted precipitately would save themselves much intellectual effort. But rather than have a mere "decision by speculation" in the railroad strike, Mr. Paine prefers what we had, namely, , a hasty leap...
...Eckfeldt '17 and T. K. Fisher '17. Without the services of these men this year's hockey team would be seriously handicapped. Percy, who captained his Freshman team was one of the fastest men in the University forward line last year. Also it will be remembered that his hit won the first game of the baseball series with Yale last June, and therefore as a veteran in this sport he should be of no small value to the 1917 nine...
