...Devens, plunging and crashing back, who was the first of the Sophomore backs to win a permanent place in the Crimson lineup. It was he who scored the touchdown against a Booth-captained Yale Freshman eleven last year; he also pitched the 1932 baseball team to a win over Yale last Spring, fanning 13 Blue batters...
ently attempted drop kicks when halted within reach of the Harvard goal posts. The result was a clear-out-Yale victory. In 1927, Yale, with an infinitely stronger team than Harvard was only able to score on a couple of long brilliant individual runs. Last year she was completely outplayed.

The plot was thickening; Mr. Bingham could not well afford to loose such generous gifts to the University and immediately asked the original "anonymous alumnus" for permission to finish $700,000 worth of the proposed plant...
There is something about this Yale game week-end that seems not quite like anything else, unless it be a peculiar edition of New Year's Eve and New Year's Day brought out in the fall for the convenience of this weary adventurer. To blow the clouds away, this is rather a day of reckoning, of resolve, and of--yes--rejoicing...
