...Blasio, never a defensive standout last fall, was a pain in the Red backfield all afternoon. He stopped Red ball carriers short of the line of scrimmage seven times, for a grand total of 51 yards. He was thus personally responsible for as much lost yardage as the whole Red team could gain in 60 minutes of football...
...this point, Novelist Moon begins to favor an uncompromising thesis. He makes Editor Thornton, in demanding that Gardner be fired, revert to stereotyped white brutality, and he makes President Rogers seem culpably weak for giving in.

Once, peeved because he never got the Pulitzer Prize, he teed off on the selection committee in an ill-tempered article for the Satevepost, took solace from his No. 1 position in a poll of reviewers who thought Northwest Passage deserved the prize in 1938.

And the two editors, who are without previous College publication experience, have only a skeleton staff with which to begin a job that could take a well-coordinated group more than a year to finish...
