...change of advantage from one side to the other combined with the many long runs and stirring tackles to make the game truly remarkable in the extent and variety of its interesting features. Every few moments there would be a run of 30 to 50 or 60 yards in length,-not around the ends, however; the playing of the ends of both teams was with some exceptions almost faultless, and gains of any appreciable distance could be made only through the line, where the high playing of the Harvard men and the light-weight of the Dartmouth players precluded...
...that four touchdowns were scored against the second eleven,--the largest number that has been made in practice this year. Long runs were frequent. One by Kernan amounted to 70 yards, and there were various others by members of both teams of from 15 to 45 yards in length...
...were due almost entirely to individual efforts. One touchdown was made on a 30 yard run by Foster, and many of the other scores were made possible by long runs, notably one of 45 yards by Daly, several of about 20 yards by Stillman, and two of the same length by Knowlton and Graydon, respectively. Schoellkopf, of the second eleven, broke through the first team's line for a run of 35 yards...
...killed by a steam blast, falling hot material, a sea wave, or a wind high enough to overset masonry. Some theory of protection against these forces may be found by inquiring into the cases of persons who have been saved from these dangers.

Moreover, it seems fair to assume, in the absence of accurate figures, that the average length of membership at present is approximately four years, those who fail to join for the whole of their college course being not improbably about balanced by the membership of five, six and seven years held through the professional schools. Every share of this 16 per cent of stock every year...
