...yesterday afternoon were called upon to put their prowess to the test again. The result was more than an hour and a half of much regulated and much interrupted scrimmaging, with the University backs wading through sterner opposition than they had met the day before for two touchdowns. The score was 14 to 0, but the score meant very little since the location of the ball at the beginning of each offensive drive was determined entirely by the coaches. Anywhere from their own 20 to the Seconds' 30 yard line the University backs were put in motion toward the opposing...
...scrub defense was stiff the University forward line was impregnable and it was only when A. O. Fordyce '28, scrub end, intercepted a pass that Coach Knox's men were able to make any considerable gain. The first University score came with team B on the field. With the ball in his own territory G. C. Holbrook '30 kicked short and the pigskin went to the second at mid-field. S. C. Burns '30 then intercepted a pass and covered the 50 yards necessary for a touchdown. G. E. Donaghy '29 put the ball between the uprights with a placement...
When a Freshman engages to travel in this new academic world, no doubt he has been warned a score of times or more of the danger of transition and is thoroughly saturated with precautionary messages.

The wand of Thomas Hitchcock waved, and for the first time the goal of Major Atkinson was crossed for a score. The U. S. was leading. Stevenson waved his wand, and the U. S. was ahead by two. Britain rallied, fighting across the carpet toward the U. S. goal. They attacked, missed, attacked and missed again. Then Hitchcock waved his wand again and the score was 3-0. From that moment the event was no longer a contest; the magic...
Major Atkinson's wand worked one through for Britain; and again Hitchcock swept in to score. As the fourth period opened, this same Hitchcock drew back his wand with headstrong determination and struck the willow ball. It rose like a golf ball for a midiron over the heads of the players, bounced, bounded through the posts over 100 yards away. Webb scored, Hitchcock scored, Milburn (against whose play at back the British at tack had foamed and fallen like a wave) scored twice; Hitchcock scored, Webb scored twice; Roark scored a second goal for Britain. Webb scored; Pert scored...
