Manning played a stellar game at goal for Arlington, stopping a shot by W. B. Wood '32, at the crucial moment. Later, however, W. H. Crosby '32 landed a shot on a pass from Wood...

Both were masters of dissimulation and lovers of delay; but the leaden foot of Philip was the symptom of a dying organism, while Elizabeth temporized for the contrary reason-because vitality can afford to wait. The fierce old hen sat still, brooding over the English nation, whose pullulating energies were coming swiftly to ripeness and unity under her wings. She sat still; but every feather bristled; she was tremendously alive...
