The scoundrel was arrested and sentenced to 4 months’ imp...

The year was 1907. College was all but a fading memory, but Don was determined not to let the memories of his old college mate, Victor, fade with them!

This was a very close game; in fact, the lowest scoring of the season. However, the Hawkeyes had lost 4-6. The mutual respect they found for each other carried the...
