Q e 1 Our Captain's a tackle most able, W'ho's brave as the heroes of fable. He lives up to his name, To his school he brings fame, Captain Loyal Hibbs is his full label. 11 There's a whiz at left end and we call Pete Who goes down under punts rather neatg He can drop kick a mile, In the latest style, Oskaloosa knows well our frioml Pete. HI Our Johnnie, 'most every one knows, Just back from Sibei-ia's snows, Can tackle and smash, Plunge the line with a dash There's no ki:1din when he hits his foes. IV Floyd Hibbs is a tackler of grit, Who never admits he's hit, His smile ne'er deserts him, No matter what hurts him This veteran lll?'v'1'1' cries Quit V Our team has ai half back named Yenser, Who served Uncle Sam well in France, sirg He has pluck, pep and speed, Such as football men need, And he's one of our very best men, sir. VII A trump of a center. is Horner I-Ie's back from his light with the foreigner, He's proved he can Win, Wlieirever he's been Helped back West High into a corner. VI When Ervin lVIcConkey left France, They say he performed a wild dance: When we won F1'iday's game He sure danced the same To see him we al'l wished the chance. - Page Seventeen

'Z Lo 5 Tie The Hunts vs. the Scrubs cc l-lERE'S the wedding goin' to be? came from the center of a group of boys gathered about a drug store for the purpose of having a noisy good time at the expense oif some Newlyweds Jim and Fred ain't here yet, grumbled another boy. Well, let's go over and have a gmne of football till they come, proposed still another. At this suggestion they all went over to the vacant lot to start the ball a-rolling. Ted, who was acting as captain of the Scrubs, said to Jack, acting as captain of the HRunts, 'LLet's flip to see who kicks off. Heads, called Jack as the coin went spinning into the air. But it lit tails and Ted won the toss. All right, now, you guys. Give me some interference, yelled Jack to his team who was ready to tear down the field at any time. Jack caught the ball and down the field they went. Shouts came from the Scrubs, 'Get 'em there, Tom! Smear 'em! Down! came Jack's cry from beneath the pile of yelling boys. Sure you'r down, and it was about six feet back there, roared Ned, the Scrubsi' halfback. Up spoke the ragged red headed center' of the Runts, George they called him, UAW, you're crazy! That ball never touched the ground! Get over the ball there, George, and quit arguing, said Jack. Signals! -L, 9, 2, 8, 7, hip! shouted Jack. And then came another pile-up. Shouts came from beneath the pile, 'tOuchl Get off my head! Quit your kickin' me! Leave loose my coat! Now then, you guys, give nie more interference and We will show them some playing, called Jnlck. Then came another general sack-piling contest while George was speeding' towards the Scrubs goal for a touchdown. Tain't no fair for the center to carry the ball. A heated argument was stialrting when someone yelled, There comes the car! Let's go. ' And they all hopped on the side of the car and rode away to the wedding. Loren Barnes. Page Sixteen
