[Behind the Line by Ralph Henry Barbour]@TWC D-Link bookBehind the Line CHAPTER XII 1/14
ON THE HOSPITAL LIST Harvard's good showing thus far during the season convinced Erskine that could she hold the crimson warriors down to five scores she would be doing remarkably well, and that could she, by any miracle, cross Harvard's goal-line she would be practically victorious.
The team that journeyed to Cambridge on October 23d was made up as follows: Stone, l.e.; Tucker, l.t.; Carey, l.g.; Stowell, c.; Witter, r.g.; White, r.t.; Devoe, r.e.; Foster, q.b.; Fletcher, l.h.b.; Gale, r.h.b.; Mason, f.b. Besides these, eight substitutes went along and some thirty patriotic students followed.
Among the latter was Sydney Burr and "Fan" Livingston.
Neil had brought the two together, and Livingston had readily taken to the crippled youth.
In Livingston's care Sydney had no difficulty in making the trip to Soldiers Field and back comfortably and safely. There is no need to tell in detail here of the Harvard-Erskine contest. Those who saw it will give Erskine credit for a plucky struggle against a heavier, more advanced, and much superior team.
