NUIQIDIC I have never crossed the ocean, I have never sailed the main, But the spray has set me longing to be freeg 'lll1C1'C,S a sort of aching yearning Like an ever present pain Wfhen I watch the white sailed ships put out to sea Oh, I can't forget the glory Of' the pulling, straining tides, Nor the cold and salty breakers' booming roll, For the sea will find a Norseman, No matter where he hides, And send her ringing challenge to his soul. -CAROL 1jUI.CI'ER.

If were greeted by thousands of cheering fans. A parade from First and Broadway to the City Hall was held in their honor. Mayor Davie made a complimentary speech, and the whole team. was treated with a wonderful reception. This is the general story of the teamls record throughout the season. It tells briefly how the team, captained by one of our own school and team, successfully and without hesitation swept through 8,200 teams throughout the United States to win the World title for ltfontgomery Wfards. There are, however, a few in-teresting facts concerning the team which can be set apart from the main story. The team won all eighteen games played. Fourteen of these were by shut-outs. The team had four out of nine on the All-Legion team. The awards won were: gold baseballs for winning the Oakland title, medals and certificates and the Howard Savage and Del How- ard Trophies for winning the California championship. Knickers were presented to the boys at Denver, and the indi- vidual awards were won there also. Medals were won at Denver for winning the VVestern area title. A complete outfit of clothing was presented to each member of the team at Chicago. A pennant and gold watches were presented at New York for winning the world title. Vfhile in Chicago, VVeido spoke over the radio at Hotel La Salle where the team was staying. At each city, Los Angeles, Denver, Indianapolis, Chicago, and New York, the team went on sight seeing trips as guests of the city. VVeido was in eighteen toss ups for last licks and he won seven- teen out of eighteen. He also drew three byes out of three chances. VVeido and three other members of the team are eligible to play in the league next year, but due to a new ruling made since last sca- son, they will be unable to play on the same team together. Four of the boys were watched by major league scouts, each being personally interviewed. VV'eido was interviewed by Bill Essex of the New York Yanks. Their record should stand unbroken for many years to come, for it is one that seems impossible to break. Our school should cer- tainly be proud of this boy, for it isn't every school that has the most valuable player on a world champion team. Do not think that this boy has reached his prime either, for before he has finished his base- baill career, his name will be written across baseballis hall of fame in capital letters. ltfaurice Eppstein.
