...Block that kick! Block that kick ! "The Yale cheering section repeated the phrase monotonously in the belief that it would annoy Slagle (Princeton) who was about to punt. Evidently it did, for Slagle, instead of kicking, started for the Yale right end with the ball under his arm. A few moments later he was 82 yards farther down the field, which was as far as he needed to go. In the next period, when Princeton was in danger, Dignan punted 71 yards.

When the reporter's knuckles a moment later belabored that door, a panel in its upper section slid back and in the slit appeared the bulldog brow of a surly doorkeeper. The reporter was a man typical of his kind, a seedy fellow, drearily accoutred. No evening shirt fluted his meagre bosom. No glittering lady stood beside him. He was obviously not wealthy. He was not a member...
