...losing five yards on first down Eliot quarterback Pete Wood rolled out on an play and made 20 yards to his own 41. At this point Wood found a soft spot in the left side of the Leverett line and played it for all it was worth.

Dr. Risser, a former Army epidemiologist, consulted his medical books, wrote the U.S. Public Health Service that Bonham had been hit by epidemic pleurodynia ("devil's grip"), probably caused...
