...lecturer spoke as follows: Roughly speaking, the arid region extends from the 100th meridian to the Pacific ocean, between the 100th and the 105th lies the so called "debatable ground." an enormous piece of territory upon which agriculture is in some years profitable, in others, not. Washington Oregon, and the northern part of California are excluded from this rough outline. The total area is about 1.300,000 square miles, or 40 per cent. of the United States. The question is how to make this region profitable for agriculture...
...cannon ceases to boom, and the complaints of slugging, unfair play, and Ames resound and increase with Princeton's score, till at the close Princeton is pronounced a brute, a knave, a liar. The Princeton players were, heavier men and older men than Harvard and could stand a rough game of give-and-take longer. Was this Princeton's fault? Then, too, there is no dispute that they played a better game.

Harvard's work was a trifle stronger than Princeton's in the first half, while in the second, every man on the home team weakened perceptibly, and the Princeton...
...around the end but was downed by Crosby who easily got by his man every time. On the third down the ball was given to Cowan but Dean broke through and stopped him and the ball went to Harvard. At this Furniss was substituted for Donnelly, disqualified for rough play. Lee and Saxe could not get started, and a misunderstanding of the signals forced Dean to touch the ball down for the fourth time. On Princeton's second down Ames punted to Saxe who made a brilliant catch. Ames and Trafford punted back and forth several time but finally Ames...
