...Quakers seems to give Yale the edge. Brown's far-famed running attack failed to put the ball-across the Pennsylvania goal line, although the Providence players had four chances to score. Yale, however, completely out-played for two and a half periods, rose in its might and tore through Penn, for two touchdowns. Only fumbles prevented it from getting a third...
...recitation of "The Raven." Earlier in the evening he has had a duet with his lady on the subject of Annabel Lee. When the surprised auditors heard them burst forth with "O my Annabel, O my Annabel Lee," much in the style of a sticky vaudeville ballad, several tore up their programs and stole sobbing from the theatre...
...Yale team seemingly even more powerful than the Blue elevens of the last two years. Yale put on a terrific attack which netted them 19 first downs and eight touchdowns, five of the latter coming in the first half. With an apparently inexhaustible supply of brilliant backs, the Elis tore through the visitors' line almost at will. Bunnell, Kline, Cutler, and Wienecke starred in the Yale offense.

Max Reinhardt, whose castle-Leopoldskron-overlooks the crenelated streets of the old cathedral town, sent some weeks ago an army of mercenaries against the riding school with billhook, adz, hammer, saw. They tore out the stalls, put in a pipe organ. A choir loft went where the bins had been; the walls, which still preserved the smell of saddle-soap, disinfectant and horse-manure, were transformed into cathedral columns; the tanbark became an amphitheatre for the quality. There, last week, gathered a number of deposed princes, English lords and their ladies...
