S., souvenir hunters long since rooted it up, tore it apart, carried it away. The bodies of Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills, his mistress, were found side by side under the crabapple tree.

Again in the second quarter, after a long march during which the Juniors tore off gain after gain, the 1928 quarterback tried a goal from the 15 yard chalk directly in front of the posts, but Ingalls, Sophomore guard who was a tower of strength in the forward barrier throughout the game, blocked it, and recovered for the Sophomores...
