Twenty years later Harvard had her revenge, and again an Englishman was the middle man. A visitor to the University in 1914, a total stranger to American football, had seen Yale practice, and remarked to Coach Haughton that Yale played very much on the Rugby style. This startling news called a coaches' conference, it was decided that the Elis had something of a lateral pass up their sleeves, and plans were laid accordingly...

Doubtless, some there are who will miss the finally rounded periods, the pretty, artificial prose of more leisurely men. They will object to the monotony of the author's direct, simple sentences. True, there is nothing leisurely about Mr. Hemingway's style: he goes quickly to seize the barest vital essentials, presenting them in the most concise, dram- atic manner.

Mr. Hemingway finds life a very crude...
