...football. At the beginning of the next fall he was retained on the University squad but was not regarded as a very likely first team prospect. For several weeks he substituted in the center berth and then came the 34-0 defeat at the hands of Princeton. A complete shake-up resulted in the Crimson ranks, and Turner who had shown up to great advantages in a relief role was advanced to first team rating. In the subsequent victory over Brown he fully vindicated the coaches judgement in giving him the regular berth. A week later against Yale he reached...
...predict anything about his possibilities this year. He played more or less regularly on the 1928 first year team and in his Sophomore year rose rapidly to University and first team standing. He started the 1925 game at Princeton in one of the guard positions, but in the shake up following the Crimson's disastrous riot in that encounter was dropped to team C rating.

You have the feeling that Thompson's lowly feathers are plucked from the same bird that gave Cyrano his white plume and that they are not much less pathetic for being so much more absurd. The audience wished only for something to happen to this charming...
...Stinson Detroiter, similar to the ship in which Edward F. Schlee and William S. Brock started around the world. In their map case was a short note. It told of the Old Glory's SOS. The message had come just before Tully and Medcalf left; friends feared to shake their nerves on the take-off by telling them. Somewhere out at sea they must open the map case, and learn how somewhere into the tossing water beneath them another ship had tumbled from the air. Whether or not they ever read the note was not known. The Sir John Carling...
