...anything in the line of ingenious football from the Carlisle team. The memorable day of a few years back when one of the braves tucked the ball under the back of his sweater and ran the length of the field for a touchdown on the kick-off to the utter stupefaction of the University team, showed of what they are capable. In the game last year, there was a bewildering array of forward passes, fake kicks and onside kicks in their offence and they raced from one part of the field to the other as no other team seems quite...
...made little of himself simply because he was never obliged to put forth all his powers. A man of means frequently fails, just because of that fact, to become a means for the highest ends.

It seems hardly likely that even a circus rider would pour out the secrets of her heart to an utter stranger with the freedom with which the lady of the pink tights and the white pony is made to tell her story; and the insistence upon the setting by references to the passing crowds of trippers and the sights and sounds of a seaside resort seems forced and mechanical...
