...Kennard kicked his goal in 1908, the Crimson flaunted over the Blue three times--in 1896, 1898, and 1901. The Harvardians instituted most of the new wrinkles in the games, but Yale had most of the power. The "Deland Flying Wedge" flew in 1892.

Little monkeys chattered and cried to one another in the treetops that the white-faced hunter had taken 2,500 lives out of feathery, furry bodies to stuff them with dead, hard matter. From the green lowlands, Dr. Chapin started up the side of a glacial mountain of the Ruwenzori Range.
