...sobs, her despair, were surprisingly effective. It would be easy to go on commending: the solicitude of Gregov, as played by O. Lyding '09; the fervor of Ussishkof as acted by J. A. Eccles '10; the naturalness of Chayim in the hands of G. D. Marti '12, the sonorous vim of the Rabbi in the voice of D. Gardiner 2L.; and the pleasant unction of Sir James Wingate in the smile of E.

Weschler is not fast, but makes up for his lack of speed by the viciousness with which he hits the line. Marshall, on the other hand, is more steady and picks his openings very quickly. The greater part of the punting during...
...ground should have made the Harvard team doubly powerful, owing to its superior weight, but the line played too high and thus sacrificed any advantage it might have had. Although the plays were hard and fast enough in the open, the backs did not put dash and vim into their work when nearing the goal line and consequently lost opportunities to score...
