...fourth period of yesterday's game between the Brown Freshmen and the University Seconds, J. Monroe, Brown quarterback, caught a punt. He was standing on his own 15-yard line at the time, and two tacklers were close upon him.

The audience was quick to appreciate that vaudeville interpolation. More than a series of dialect jokes is the picture of Life's graduating seniors entering the Freshman class of night school in order to fill the gaping rift between Old and New World customs with a little pitifully mastered book-knowledge, in order...
