THE SENIOR JWAGNET 5 j ggi LITERARY pzy The Sap ROBERT KAMERER Jim was a sap. Everyone said so. He was in everything he could get into which were few indeed, although he tried out for everything. First foot- ball, then basketball, and finally base- ball. He was fair in everything but not good enough to be carried in any- thing. The coaches carried him as long as possible but finally had to cut him to make the squad smaller. It was his last year and he hadn't won his letter yet. A letter seemed his only ambition in school. How can I get one?l' he sud- denly demanded of his only sympa- thizer, Fritz Hoffman. Get one what? Fritz asked. What do you suppose? A baby elephant? A letter of course! Sap replied. Not much chance at football,', added Sap. Not for you, anyway, exclaimed Ted, a fellow classmate, 'fwhy don't you forget a letter and go down and lead the cheering? A sap like you always makes a good cheer leader. But there's no letter in thatf, Sap murmered. 'fVVhat's that matter? lVIaybe I could persuade the board to give you onef, replied Ted. After much arguing and pleading, Jim was persuaded to go down. At the first game the teams came out and were cheered lustily by the re- presentative schools.

The score was 0-0 at the end of the third quarter. The team did not show much fight, partly because it was dog-tired. At the beginning of the last quarter, the home fans were not cheering very much and, when they did cheer, it was only half- heartedly. The Sap suddenly jumped up and started a cheer. The crowd suddenly seemed to catch a new spirit, which was conveyed to the team by many loud and lusty cheers. The team started to play better. It had found courage and fresh strength some- where. Down the field it went. Nothing seemed to be able to stop it. A touchdown was scored and the extra point made. The rest of the game was played in mid-field, both teams being pretty well matched. The final score was 7-O in favor of the home team. No one seemed to think anything about the way the Sap had started the cheers. This was the way the next two games were won and the home school
