...they must surely hit us when they returned to earth. They seemed suspended in the air for an indefinite space of time, as if there was no hurry at all about their failing back. They seemed to cross and criss-cross in all directions, now obscuring half the sky. Gradually the mass assumed the shape of the upper portion of an elm tree, and then began to subside. Then could be heard the smashing sound of the tree branches as this mass of rock and earth fell back with the crushing force of an avalanche. Everybody ducked and plunged head...
...York Allied Bazaar's diminutive planet is still dodging its way through the sky in search of a name. The heavenly little body demands the name of some great institution of learning, but what institution this will be depends entirely on the latter's generosity. Will Carthaginian parsimony force the little twinkler to go through life with such a designation as "Yalensis" or "Tiga"?

A strip of "sky" has been painted along the top of Sanders Theatre to render the Elizabethan illusion more perfect, for a theatre of that epoch had no roof above the central portion, the only covering being over the stage and the galleries...
Meanwhile the University team deserves all the encouragement and moral support possible. It is facing a difficult situation. It had no sooner recovered from the loss of Captain Ayres and from unfortunate individual injuries, when this last bolt came out of a clear sky. If the team can get along for a few days on good wishes and undergraduate backing, such spirit should be accorded with full heart; and if the team emerges victorious at the end of the season, that team will be counted one of the bravest in the history of Harvard sport...
