To be more explicit, Kuhn served as referee and Hughes as umpire. Instead of the usual eleven, seventy players participated in this immense game. At the first blow of the whistle we were on the mark and ready to make the first down, but inwardly quaking with fear. The first quarter we did not fight as we should have, but at the end of that quarter we realized the strength and malignance of our opponent-Ignorance. At the end of the first quarter we suffered severe losses in our numbers, caused by the lack of confidence. loss of courage and other fatal injuries received in the difiicult battle of the game. However, at the beginning of the second quarter we rallied around our faithful Captain, Clovis Watson, and at the blow of the whistle we plunged again into the midst of the fray with a new zeal and a grim determination in our hearts. In this quarter there was a change in officials-Nlartin was made referee and Lyles the umpire, but the penalties for unfair play and for the violation of the rules of the game were no less. And again at the end of the quarter great havoc had been wrought, and our mighty team had been pitifully dimin- ished to forty players: but again we entered the game with unfaltering forti- tude, encouraged by the justice of Martin and Lyles. This was a momentous quarter in which many substitutes came from the small towns around Bowie to replace the players who had dropped from the game. In this quarter relentless Cupid grappled with three of our players and overcame them. We are now more united in spirit, and we are trying to attain new honors for Bowie Hi and for ourselves, and we are trying to make the score as high as possible in the end. Our old opponent, Ignorance, is still very powerful at times, but we are able to cope with him now, at least to keep the upper- hand. The fourth quarter is yet to come, but we are confident and inspired by words of encouragement from the side-lines. We are anticipating our reward and are daily growing closer to it-the prize which we shall receive when we make our inal touchdown with thundering applause ringing in our ears. W. M. R.
