The Football Victim He rather thought he'd tackle The foot ball fad awhile, Being young and very supple And put up in proper style. So he joined a crack eleven And he practiced day and night, Till, in fine, he quite imagined He was soaring out of sight.

Time rolled on, as time does always, Till at last it fairly flew, And there came the happy moment For his great and grand debut. Fame was trembling in the balance, A Praise was perching on the lips Of the surging crowd that gathered, Sending up hurrahs and hips.' But behold! the game progresses!

Hero dreams of mighty battles Till reaction racks his frame, Then he whispers Where am I at, Take! oh, take my hard won famel' I 3
