...inhabitants can, of course, see each other (and all things) only as straight lines. Fortunately, however, every Flatland creature has luminous edges; and there is chronic fog in Flatland, through the obscurity of which the slant of lines is quite apparent and a Figure's angles and shape can be inferred without feeling all his sides'. The Flatland women are mere straight lines, like needles. Hence they are brainless; hence also dangerous, for they would puncture a male Figure upon collision. Quaint rules for women result.

...play was poor. Time and again the linemen permitted the opposing defense to break through and smear Yale backs behind their own line. The tackling of the Blue team was sloppy and inefficient, which means that the coaches have their work cut out to get the squad in good shape for the Dartmouth tilt next week...
Four new football fields were laid out during the summer for the use of the class teams and are now in good shape.

The Blue was strongly favored to carry off the laurels, but after an early lead found itself overhauled, and trailing at the finish...
After a week's work under the new coaching regime headed by Arnold Horween '20, the gridiron aspirants are rapidly hardening into shape and are scheduled to get their first test of scrimmage today or tomorrow. The customary morning work-out has been called off today ostensibly to give the players an opportunity to rest up for a more strenuous session this afternoon. All practice is being held behind the high board fences on Soldiers Field, which were erected for the first time last year...
