...more will the Harvard student homeward bound with his bulging suitcase, his rattling golf sticks, his tennis racket, and proverbial musical instrument, be seen tearing frantically through the human swarm on Summer street. No more will he have to perform superhuman feats of line-plunging, of long distance running, of athletic leaping over intervening horses, wagons, and automobiles, only to arrive as the last car of his train rolls majestically from the South Station. The great work is complete at last; science is vindicated. The oldest Senior who said gloomily that it would never be finished is a prophet without...

While not detracting from his marked ability, yet advertising Mr. Holmes as the single star is a deception--everyone in the cast is entitled to such distinction.

...Thomas really would get the position from what has been seen in practices, but his work in the Harvard game was not enough to warrant his being chosen. Jacques is not the defensive back that his teammate Neville is. The latter was the man that scored against Harvard, doing most of the plunging from the eight-yard line, a place where the resistance of the opposing line is always the strongest. Furthermore, he played a fine defensive game...
