The teams then faced up in the centre, and the tremendous cheering which greeted the scoring of the second goal had scarcely died away when the Vale team made one last but brilliant effort to equalise, but they were driven on by Smellie and Arnott, and at length the whistle sounded, leaving the Queen's Park the winners of a match in every way worthy of the final tie for the Challenge Cup by two goals to one.
I am not quite a tiger-cat, but I confess I do not like one-sidedness in anything, Nature's tendency being to equalise equalise till we are all flattened down into one level, the grave! At the present moment we are treading on a mixture of kings and saints and heroes, all one soil you see, and rather marshy, badly in need of draining at all times!" She laughed a little.
He had intended once for all both to limit and to equalise private property; but already as early as the fifth century Spartans had accumulated gold which they deposited in temples in foreign states; the land fell, by inheritance and gift, into the hands of a small minority; the number of the citizens was reduced, not only by war, but by the disfranchisement attending inability to contribute to the common mess-tables; till at last we find no more than 700 Spartan families, and of these no more than 100 possessing estates in land.
It's not much to counterbalance what she is, but it helps, roughly speaking, to equalise matters." Hilda looked at him with sudden critical interest, missing an emanation from him.

If, however, we move the knife-edge or fulcrum so that it is only 1 inch from the sugar end of the beam and 9 inches from the weight end, then we find that we have to pour in 9 lb. of sugar to equalise the 1-lb. weight. The chisel used in prying open the box lid was 10 inches long; it was pushed under the lid for a distance of 1 inch, leaving 9 inches for use as a power lever.
