...Haydn Symphony and the sirens and accompanying sounds of the arrival and departure of nearby fire-trucks were a continual menace. The fire department has since agreed to be silent during Sanders concerts, but there are rumours that guards are still posted around neighboring chimes. And old-timers probably shudder even now whenever a cymbal is banged...
...speedy Columbia performers as Goverhali, or at best making weighty lunges in the direction of the ball carriers. A good part of the time our linesmen didn't have the slightest idea who the ball-carrier was: rather demoralizing. Knowing Dick Harlow's propensity for hipper-dipper deception, I shudder to think of the perplexed expressions that will cross the Tiger's brow a week from Saturday...

At year...

Wheece... a bomb glides right over as and penetrates a lawn 500 yards away; its explosion, fortunately muffled by the soft earth, makes every house in the district reel and shudder. Bombs thud down one after the other. An incendiary bomb smacks onto our roof blinding for a moment and splashing melted metal and flame, but with the aid of a rake it is dislodged and flicked off into the garden to burn itself out; had it been left it would...
