...Irish independence for more than 30 years; at his country house near Belfast. Famed alike for his bluntly uttered opinions and his fierce disregard of metaphorical discipline, once he roared: "The naked sword is drawn for the fight, and, gentlemen, never again will the black smoke of Nationalist tar barrels drift on the Home Rule wind to darken the hearts of Englishmen...

Doctors have not definitely ruled him out of the Yale game, but he is hobbling around on crutches with a bad right knee as a result of the tumble he took in the third period after leaping high in the air to intercept a Brown pass...
