...remember that the best way to commemorate our (football) victory will be to get ready with equal vigor for baseball and rowing victories in the spring. Help Captain Higginson on to victory with the same noble support that has been given to Captain Dibblee...
...play is not fitting as Thomas' last work, for he has banished gloomy presentiments and shot through each line with vigor of life.
