...beautifully executed forward passes by C. K. "Red" Cagle, leader of the Army gridiron forces this year, spelled defeat for the Harvard eleven last fall. Coupled with a safety, these two scores gave the West Point invaders a 15 to 0 victory, their first since the initial game between the University and Cadet rivals in 1895. Prior to the resumption of the rivalry between the two institutions in 1928, the Crimson and West Point elevens had clashed 13 times, and each time a Harvard team carried off the honors...
...centenarian is played by Otis Skinner, who is himself now 71. Through five decades of trouping he has acquired a mellow patina which enhances his interpretation of one not unlike himself in wisdom and sweetness of age. Sitting in his royally red chair, he pokes with his cane and his innuendos, rumbles and whispers, enchants his family with the great white droop of his head, the flash of his cavernous eyes.

There are Forbes, Wheeler, Gamble, and Finley Dormitories, but despite their Anglo-Saxon names these buildings have the blue-tiled pagoda roofs, white walls, red lacquer columns, carved porches, sweeping curves and broken lines appropriate to their environment. A typical many-tiered, pagoda-topped tower overlooks an artificial lake, and a pair of gargoyle-like lions guard the multicolored, richly ornamented Alumni gate...
...carried wounded in and brought them out. I could see the light come out from the dressing station when the curtain opened and they brought someone in or out. The dead were off to one side. The doctors were working with their sleeves up to their shoulders and were red as butchers. There were not enough stretchers. Some of the wounded were noisy but most were quiet. The wind blew the leaves in the bower over the door of the dressing station and the night was getting cold. Stretcher bearers came in all the time, put their stretchers down, unloaded...
