...Boston Globe has the distinction of having in its employ the dean of all Harvard sports writers, Melville E. Webb, Jr, known more familiarly as "Mell". "Mell" has probably seen more Harvard football games than Mike Denihan, and is the most veteran follower of the Crimson's fortunes. Mr. Webb covered his first Harvard game when the Crimson met Pennsylvania in 1895, and he has not missed any important games since then...
...dean of Harvard writers, Mr. Webb is in charge of the Stadium Press Box, and as those who have tried to crash the sacred portals will testify, he runs it in a very efficient manner. The system of "spotters", announcers, and operators, explained elsewhere in this issue, is his invention, and makes the Harvard press box one of the easiest to work...
...ternational Field, Meadow Brook Club, Long Island. Thousands clamored in the light blue grandstands. Thomas Hitchcock Jr. smote the first goal and the U. S. team led the British team. Hitchcock Jr. smote the second goal; and the third. He smote five goals in the game; J. Watson Webb smote two; Devereux Milburn, U. S. captain, one.

S. attack nearest the ball; a little behind him Thomas Hitchcock Jr., and Malcolm Stevenson; behind them and nearer the white goal posts where the magic carpet ends Devereux Milburn, grey veteran of every International match since 1909, U. S. captain. Opposite were Major Austin H. Williams, Capt. C. T. I. Roark and Capt. Claude E. Pert...
...Hitchcock swept in to score. As the fourth period opened, this same Hitchcock drew back his wand with headstrong determination and struck the willow ball. It rose like a golf ball for a midiron over the heads of the players, bounced, bounded through the posts over 100 yards away. Webb scored, Hitchcock scored, Milburn (against whose play at back the British at tack had foamed and fallen like a wave) scored twice; Hitchcock scored, Webb scored twice; Roark scored a second goal for Britain. Webb scored; Pert scored the last stategoal for Britain. Total: U.S. 13, Great Britain...
