...best match in the tennis tournament yesterday was that between H. Foster '98, and H. J. Holt '98. Both men played well in the first set, Holt being the steadier of the two and finally winning 9-7, after Foster had three times been within a point of the set.

In Byzantine times this great city was completely destroyed and became...

Here the ball was lost to Williams and a series of punts followed in which Wrightington outclassed Draper. It was at this point of the game that Dibble did his best work for Williams making long runs around the ends which carried the ball into the middle of the field. The ball then changed hands several times and finally remained in William's possession at the call of time...
