...having met any real opposition since their opening game, the exact strength of the Florida team is still a matter of doubt. Dixon, a 205-pound backfield man will do the punting, and it is expected that the visitors will resort to a kicking game followed by an offensive chiefly of forward passes, although two of the backfield men showed marked ability last Saturday as broken-field runners when once loose...
...proclaiming that the way to prevent war is for us to disarm--not necessarily concurrently with the other nations, but alone, as an example for the other nations to follow. Since this chimerical statement by itself is not enough to soften the skulls of most Americans, its advocates resort to another more potent argument.

While if the beaux and macarouss of Pope's day were to appear today and tald as they did in the drawing rooms of London, and ordinary American might well imagine they were telling...
