...allowed Stickney to secure the ball with a clear field before him. He started for Andover's goal line hotly pursued by Bliss, who overtook and downed him about five yards from the line. The Andover eleven now rallied strongly and prevented Exeter's scoring the coveted touchdown.

...Bailey, L. S., then spoke first on the negative. The tendency of our time is to concentration of capital into a few hands. Industry is conducted on a large scale because this is the best way.
