...long kicks. The second half was more exciting, Yale first obtaining a touch-down, which was not allowed, the ball having been passed ahead. Harvard then forced the play to her opponent's goal-line, the ball being kicked behind, which Upham succeeded in touching before any Yale man, and got the only touch-down of the game. No goal was obtained from this touch-down. Yale tried hard during the remaining fifteen minutes to overcome this advantage, but it was too late; Harvard at the close had won by one touch-down, Yale having gained nothing. The teams were...

Of course we all take some notes, just to have the appearance of paying attention; but this man takes them preeminently; he is always taking them; during every lull in the recitation you may hear the steady scratching of his pencil. When the instructor said, "Mr. De Browne, will you please close the door?" I looked at the scribbler, and lo! he was jotting that down, too! Who is he?
