...ball, 1912, supporting the runner well, broke through the Junior line repeatedly, but on a third down, their forward pass failed, and the Juniors took the ball on their own 30-yard line. The Juniors were able now to plow through the Sophomores' line as easily as the latter team had done it a moment before, and a series of skin-tackle plays by Heath netted several good gains.

It was his work which made both Worcester's scores possible. Kelley and Wilson made several end runs for 20-yard gains. Lewis and Carr did the best work for the Freshmen. The former gained consistently through Worcester's left guard, the weak place...
...blacksmith shop of Goody Rickby, the witch, in a seventeenth century Massachusetts village, shows the creation and early training of the scarecrow, who, under the title of Lord Ravensbane, is sent into the world to avenge on Rachel, the daughter of Justice Merton, the wrong that the latter in his youth has inflicted on the witch.
