...speechless awe with which Crimson fans watched their team slash the paws, face, and body of the Tiger that deserves recognition. It is not the spontaneous victory march after the game, in which every true Harvard man joined, overjoyed that he had seen a defeat that was a defeat of a major foe. Nor the individual playing of certain members of the backfield and line. All these considering the distressful circumstances which have piled high around Cambridge football in the past four years, were to be expected...

Reed welcomed the lawyers to Kansas City, saying, "In this strange period in our history, the body politic is chained to the political operating table and the dreamers of dreams and the seers of visions are permitted at will to cut and probe and slash the helpless victim."

After the War when every competitor was moving south to use cheap slash pine, Union still sat in a sleepy, War-fattened lethargy. In 1928 it was so grossly out of line that it actually built a sulphate mill in the spruce forests of Tacoma. Next year this white elephant was shut down at a loss of $2,060,000. Meanwhile Union lost money...
