...first down placing the ball on his 45-yard line. Here, for some unknown reason, Felton was called on to send a 50-yard punt down the field, thus giving Holy Cross the ball for the first time. She managed to gain about 20 yards by means of quick shifts and fake kicks, but was penalized for off-side play. A wide end run was tried to get back the lost distance but the ball was fumbled, to be recovered by Parmenter off the field.

...design is unique in that the boat does not leave a wake, sufficient to disturb an eight-oared crew, even when the launch is running at high speed.

Auburn street may spring a surprise...

Nowadays the plot of a musical comedy is hard beset by two perils: it is either spun out from one idea, which gets rather frayed toward the end, or is pared down to the quick from the story of the original.
