...defense, as in previous practice, was too strong for the weak attack of the second eleven, and allowed no gains to be made. The individual work of the backs was noticeable. Gierasch, playing for the first time after an absence of two weeks, did some brilliant running. He ran low and swiftly, followed his interference carefully, hurdled well and did some good dodging in the broken field, making one brilliant run of sixty-five yards for a touchdown after receiving the kick-off. Putnam and Devens also made long runs, usually with excellent interference. Bowditch was of great value...
...winter the temperature there ranges, on the average, about 28 degrees below zero; while at times it is as low as 50 degrees. The sun is below the horizon for seventy-two days in the year. The temperature in summer sometimes rises to 60 or 65 degrees and during the summer months the ground thaws out to a depth of about two feet, while below that it is frozen to unknown depths...
From the paragraph on the tariff, two passages are omitted. The first, making intelligible the last sentence of the Democrat's reprint, is as follows: "Since the Democratic party has absolutely thrown away the low tariff position which such leaders as Cleveland, Carlisle, Wilson, and Russell won for it, the reciprocity doctrine of the Republican party seems to afford the best immediate opportunity for liberal legislation; although it must be confessed that progress towards world-wide trade is more likely to come through the logic of events than than through legislation--that is, through the increasing superiority of American industries...
...took the ball to the twenty-five yard line, but the chance to score was lost by a fumble. Soon after the second half began, a fair catch gave Kendall a chance for a goal from the field from the forty-five yard line, but the ball went too low and was blocked. Several exchanges of punts ended in Glidden's running one back forty yards before being finally stopped by Daly. A moment later Cooper got the ball on a fumble and ran forty yards to the ten yard line. A poor pass from centre prevented Waters from making...
...plain to be for a moment doubted. When the ice-sheet receded northward, the streams which came from under it deposited sand in great quantities as they approached the sea. These rivers flowed through ice arches under the glaciers; and remnants of them can still be seen in the low curving hills in some parts of the state. At the same time, it is worth remembering that we have near by all that is left of a mountain range, once as grand as any in the word, in the White Mountains and in detached peaks such as Monadnock...
