PARA Tu l U L' A C' A Pnrrvs' ' ' 2 SEM . . ,-A. f 1 ..... W excl LTHOUGH the exchange section is often termed dry and uninterest- ing, we hope that this department will be of some help to the magazines which we have commented upon.

PAMTU 'l - .. UM A .A L Pnrrvs' Q UW Q 'WM mlb' O, I am stabbed with laughter. HE game opened with molasses at the stick and smallpox catching. Cigar was in the box with plenty of smoke. Horn was on first base and fiddle on second. Backed by corn in the field, he made it hot for umpire apple, who was rotten. Axe came to bat and chopped. Cigar let brick walk and sawdust filled the bases. Song made a hit and twenty made a score. Cigar went out and balloon started to pitch, but went up in the air, and then cherry tried it but was wild. Old ice kept cool in the game until. he was hit by the ball and then you ought to have heard' ice scream. Cabbage had a good head an-d kept quiet. Grass covered lots of ground and the crowd cheered when spider caught a fly in the field. Bread loafed on third and pumped organ who played' fast and put light out. In the fifth inning, wind began to blow about what he could do. Hammer started to knock and trees began to leave. The way they roasted peanuts was a fright. Knife was put out for cutting first base. Light- ning finished the game and struck out six men In the ninth, apple told vial to take his base and then song made another hit. Trombone made a slide and meat was out at the plate. There Was lots of betting on the game but soap cleaned up. The score was 1-0. Door said that if he had pitched he would have shut them out. fTaken from Specula, 1926.1 MIXED SIGNALS 'Twas a boiling afternoon, In the autumn of the year, The day before a strenuous game, And the team was full of fear. Every boy was in his uniform Running around with zest, The coach was on the campus Without his coat and vest. And he was yelling orders, And feeling pretty peevedg He said, You good-for-nothing bunch Have completely gone to seed. Pale, then, grew the players' faces, And roused was their ire, To them it seemed their honoured coach Was nothing but a liar. For then a catastrophe occurred, Before the public eye, When eighteen boys jumped on the coach, Who collapsed with bitter sigh. They carried 'him from off the field, With sad and muflled tread, For they believed that then and there, Their honoured coach was dead. But by means of fanning on his brow, And water o'er his head, The dear old coach came to at last, And this is what he said- With you many weary hours I've spent, In classroom and on field, And for you as far as I'm concerned, In Latin your doom is sealed. 75
