...University of Georgia and Georgia Tech have as good a hate for each other as Harvard and Princeton. First they fought over a pigskin and then they fought under the goal posts. Georgia U. won both. The football score: Georgia U., 14; Georgia Tech, 13. In many a university club Dartmouth graduates ordered ice as the reports of the third quarter were announced. They had Cornell 23 to 7. At the end of the fourth quarter, Cornell graduates filled their glasses. Score: Cornell, 24; Dartmouth...
...Crimson 10-yard mark. This kick changed the complexion of the game in an instant. Harvard now had its back to the wall, and a moment later Captain Coady tried to kick from his 25-yard streak. The Crimson line buckled; Richards, Yale tackle, took the ascending pigskin on his chest, and the ball rolled across the goal line, where the alert Sturhahn pounced on it for the score. This sudden fall from the heights in a few plays stunned the Crimson stands, and intimated the part that the big toe was to play in the drama that followed...

Three yards were lost at the line on the next play, and then Chauncey fell back and shot the bullet-like pass to Saltonstall that carried the Harvard hopes. At full speed, stretching and straining, Saltonstall clutched the oval and dashed the ten yards to tie the count. Chauncey's drop-kick put Harvard ahead...

In the first quarter, after a short kick by French had given Brown the ball at midfield, the Bruins rushed it to Harvard's 19-yard mark, a 21-yard romp by Mishel being the feature of the march. Then Randall hurled the pigskin to Mishel for a first down on the 9-yard line. A triple pass gained a yard, and then Mishel tossed to Randall, who stepped over the line for the first score. Again, shortly after the second period opened, Brown had the ball at midfield. Two graceful arcs planted the ball...
