...most satisfactory thrill I ever got out of the game was the year Vic Kennard beat Yale with his drop kick. After Kennard booted the goal, we couldn't advance farther up the field than our own 20-yard line and Yale was constantly threatening to score. With one minute left to play and the Elis seemingly certain to score, Sprague of Harvard got off a punt that went over the Yale quarterback's head and carried 80 yards down the field. With so little time left, Yale couldn't possibly score, and the game was ours...

Kitty soon tires of the nostalgic atmosphere and goes on the road with an old friend; he soon tires of her company and takes to drink and younger women...
...Florida lies that editorial goldmine known as the Cuban Situation. Ever since Theodore Roosevelt, Cabot Lodge, and the forces of American journalism won the island for us, it has presented a really pleasant problem, one which was colorful enough to make good copy, and small enough to afford a thrill without a menace. Before and after the turn of the century a rousing fight centered about the question of Imperialism, Dollar Diplomacy, and such, lapsing into obscurity only for a time, as the economic conquest of the sugar resources was completed and as we turned our eyes to more pressing...
