...Their countrymen in Japan, the American Ambassador, Mr. Woods, his entire staff, and other American residents stayed with us through the darkest hours of our calamity like soldiers at posts of duty, giving aid and comfort to our stricken people. Disasters may hurl down monuments of stone and bronze, time may wear them into dust, but nothing can destroy our precious memories of American service and heroism during the most appalling convulsion of the elements in all recorded history...

It is a common occurrence for him to hurl a spiral pass 30 yards right into the hands of a player running at top speed. Joslyn and Codding, the Williams ends, are experts at catching the pigskin and should prove to be dangerous to the Crimson in an aerial offense. In addition, Hibbard, the fullback, and McLean and Binger, the halfbacks, are clever runners...
