Coach Knox's team, far from being disheartened after their trouncing Tuesday, showed lots of punch in the offensive and charged fiercely, making 4 first downs and threatening the University goal line several times. Their defensive playing is improving daily and they are developing a powerful offensive machine...
...University eleven, given the ball on their 20-yard line, started the scrimmage with a punch. A punt by Chapin, on the second play, was recovered by Tolbert at midfield when muffed by a black-jerseyed back.

In S. B. Colby's essay on "Keeping an Open Mind," I notice a curious and probably involuntary defect of style, a battering succession of iambic verses...
