...long-plagued by the seating shortage for games with big opponents like Yale, the College decided to construct the country's first football stadium. As the huge structure, capable of seating nearly 40,000 persons, arose tier by tier across the Charles River, the rest of the football world began to take keen note...
Snow still lay in the Rockies, New England, and a tier of states across the northern border. But sap was rising early to branch and bud; despite flurries of wintry weather, there had already been days of sun in the coldest states, when gutters tinkled musically to streams from melting drifts. Many Vermont farmers had buckets out in their maple-sugar groves.

Starting in the second tier, Chris passed such topnotch trotters as Yankee Hanover, Pronto Don and Main-liner, breezed across the finish six lengths ahead. The sea horse's time: 3 min. 9 sec., breaking his own track record...
