...that Harvard's Freshman eleven could do on Saturday was to gain an unimpressive 7 to 7 tie with the Phillips Exeter team. The 1933 team was trailing 7 to 0 at the end of the half but came, back in the latter part of the game with a score that put them on even terms...
Saturday afternoon a class team composed, of Juniors and Sophomores played Tabor Academy to a scoreless tie on Hoyt Field, Marion. Both teams played well on the defense, but were weak offensively...
...making phantom first downs across an empty field and plunging ferociously at a tackling dummy. Yale heard that Freddy Loeser would play center this season despite the fact that he fractured his skull in an automobile accident during the summer.

He tightened his tie, which slips loose on his thick neck, looked at his Manhattan timepiece (he carries three watches, showing Friedrichshafen. Greenwich and New York time), arched his mephistophelian brows, and hastened to the first Hamburg-American liner available for Hamburg. A Hamburg-American it had to be, for that company aided Graf Zeppelin in her world flight. The first boat was the slow New York, which takes ten days...
