FOOTBALL With Coach Buzard at the helm and Marangoni and Heckman as chief officers, the good ship A, H. S. Tigerv left port on September 7 under sealed orders. Early signs indicated a rough voyage, but all hands settled down and pulled the old tub through with a much better record than was expected. Upon the gallant ship's making port, her log was perused and the following entries set down: Toward afternoon on the first day, the cruiser East Deer was sighted steaming from the south with all hands on deck and preparing for battle. The Tiger rounded to and gave her opponents a feeble broadside. After two hours of skirmishing, both ships retired from the scene with neither gaining any great advantage. Score: 0-0. Exactly one week later the lookout reported a strange vessel bearing down on the Tigerl' with every stitch spread. At the second volley the mast of the Aspinwall,' was shot off, and our noble craft sailed placidly on. Score: 6-0. At dusk on the following Friday the destroyer Indiana attempted to creep in under cover of darkness, but the noise made by her inexperienced seamen aroused our worthy vessel. Clearing the deck, the first mate switched on the new 60,000 watt lighting system and awaited the foe. At the first broadside, the Tiger', gained the advantage and proceeded to dismantle her opponent. Score: 21-O. The next night encounter was with the East Pittsburghf, The battle was a rather drab affair, neither ship showing much aggressiveness, and to- ward dawn the enemy withdrew. Score: 0-0. Disaster overtook our noble craft in the form of the submarine, Blairs- villef' Surprising our ship, the Blairsville launched a torpedo that carried away her rudder, causing her to wander aimlessly for several days. Score: 0-13. Speedily repairing the damage, the Tiger,' once more patrolled the seas. The first hostile ship encountered was the Freeport,', and the Greek Gods nearly shot her out of the water. Score: 32-0. The next battle was with the destroyer Homer City. After a few vol- leys, which nearly sank her, our opponent brought all remaining guns to bear and loosed a tremendous broadside. Little damage was done. Score: 19-6. During the following fortnight, two armed merchantmen, the Q'Bell Township and the Washington Township were encountered off the coast of Oak Hill. Both were poorly armed and were crippled at the first attack. Score of each encounter: 12-0. On the return trip, the TigerH had a slight skirmish with the Cak- dale, a small canoe, captained by a former Apollonian. Using only her light artillery, the Tiger utterly demolished the little craft. Score: 20-0. The last engagement before entering port was with the battleship Van- dergriftf' The heavier craft brought all guns to bear and delivered a terrific broadside, surprising our worthy seamen with its power. Score: 0-6. ' Upon entering port, our gallant vessel was greeted with resounding cheers and a great banquet. Farewells were tendered to Seamen Grimm, Maragoni, Heckman, Hileman, lVlclVlillen, Newhouse, Reefer, Kinnard, and Faber who will be missing on the next cruise. Their loss will be keenly feltf' 13 'tw ,D A ,Q A A
