...swept the flanks; when they crashed, Gannon and Shafer jump-passed and bucked for twenty yard gains. Above all, Harvard trapped. On fully half the plays Will Davis pulled out of the weak side and hit a gullible Bruin guard. The rest of the line blocked solidly and a stream of Crimson backs poured through a hole in the strong side...
Plenty of Planet. About soil conservation in the rest of the world, U.S. soil men have little conclusive information. They know that many once fertile regions are in terrible shape, but they also know that a constant stream of admiring foreign visitors, from Latin America, India, China, the Near East, has come to learn U.S. methods.

And in 1912 the Republican interests of the College were so divided between William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt '80, that the students, like the nation, picked a Democrat as Chief Executive...
...method is inadequate. The episodes themselves are often skimpy and short-breathed; the minor characters are mostly not even wooden-just beaverboard. The many scenes, instead of serving as a flight of stairs to the great burst of emotion at the end, are like stepping-stones in a rushing stream, with awkward jumps between...
