...promise in the heat of the battle I don't know, but they won and that's all that mattered. They sure didn't forget me afterwards. They packed the house that night and George Owen made the chorines blush when he executed a high kick and shot the pigskin onto the stage. Between the acts they gave me this cute little thing-ama-gig," and the footlight star and wisecracker continued to twirl the little thing-ama-gig around...
...took Tibby Bunnell's place as a greenhorn, and will have to show Harvard that Tad Jones has found the right position for the lanky ex-quarterback. Quarrier and Eddy are two husky tackles who should give Harvard's linemen a ride. In addition Eddy can boot the pigskin over the goal line every time on the kick-off.

With the ball in his own territory G. C. Holbrook '30 kicked short and the pigskin went to the second at mid-field. S. C. Burns '30 then intercepted a pass and covered the 50 yards necessary for a touchdown. G. E. Donaghy '29 put the ball between the uprights with a placement kick. In scoring their second touchdown the regulars showed evidences of sustained power...
