The senior-junior football game was played On Saturday afternoon at Davis field, I The juniors were almost snowbirds i nade, / Although they w6uld not to such treatment yield; Neither would they for the "calf rope" squeal, But played like demons 'til the gaie was done. The seniors played as if for woe or weal, And rallied in the second half so plucky That wlhcn the darkness fell, they said 'twas anti-lucky. The referee was the veteran, Dolph Mobley, And a very fair deal gave lie either side, Although the merry widow would say, prob'ly, That if he said he slugged, he surely lied.

But several too long in talking stayed, And hen they reached the field a minute after, 'Tlhe Motley juniors caused them much of joyous laughter. The juniors had a bunch of game old guys, Who would have lost their coats, had the drop gone Which Monckton tried, but sadly did( not rise To heights sufficient that it might have floivn As surely good as a circular bone, Tossed from the fated board of Smiling Bill. T.hen the seniors' hope fell like a stone, And caused the juniors great joy when they sawv That time was out, and that the game must b)e a dlraw. --Count Leo Limitski VonLehie, 'II.
