...fake scrimmage, chiefly for the benefit of the backs and ends. Then Potter, Reynolds, Blackall, and Milholland did some punting to the backs with the ends running down under the kicks. The distance of the punts was good in most instances, but the handling of the ball was very poor for this season of the year. Wendell and Campbell were the only members of the backfield who received the ball in sure style...
...finding in that last hour and in that town, one believer in all things traditional and holy. The teacher seeks for such a believer. His students laugh him into anger, his wife goes disgruntled to her baking, her child follows her, and all the town makes merry, except one poor individual--the "Fool...
Altogether the game showed few encouraging features for the Harvard team. The interference was very poor with the single exception of Wendell, who seldom failed to put his man out of the play.

Again there was evident the fact that the right side of the line is by far the stronger of the two, although very few gains were made through...
...Brien. Whalen then passed to O'Brien, who dashed down the field for 30 yards, dodging several crimson players and not stopping until he had reached Harvard's 15-yard line.

The second act also has two scenes, the first in the cotton mill, the second in a one-room cabin of typical "poor-whites." Act three shows the exterior of the mill; act four, the cabin again. Sixteen characters, not to mention ten women's voices speaking out of a mob, mark another difference. Finally the structure of the play is in quite another vein from that of Miss Lincoln's. Where...
