The City The city is a destroyerg It takes the dream of the young man Vifitholds it tantalizingly, Then 'shrivels it to a fine ash. The city is a dreamerg Disregarding the shrill voices And the crashing elevators, And buildings arise. The city is a cowardg It hides its face behind the day, It will not look, it cannot look At the child with hungry eyes. The city is brave, It rallies its sunken peoples, Its blatant voice upholds them From further degradation. The city is a Crucible . Into which strange elements are flung Singly worth just more than nothing, Wfholly-the seed of the future. Doris Kludt

RABBIT FOOT by LEOHAMALIAN HEY raved about the luck of Larry Kelly last year. He was supposed to be Dame Fortune's favorite kid. He was ballyhooed as the luckiest guy on hind legs in sports. But you should have known Cocky Stella, the guy who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Lucky? Why, this Kelly guy was a chump next to him. Confident? He wasn't nicknamed Cocky for nothing. The guy 'was so sure of himself on a hockey rink that he carried the puck without even looking at it once, from the time he got his stick behind it until he scored or lost the rubber. Not even once. And good? Sometimes that was the trouble. He was good and he knew it. It was through his swell playing that the,Spartans were such a nifty team that year. But weistarted to talk about luck. It was his doggoned luck and my alert playing, mine, I said mind you, that robbed me of a juicy cut of front-page write-ups. It was during the last game when the score was . . . but wait a minute! I guess I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll go back and start from the very beginning. The new hockey season was opening and we were hunting a good forward. We'd for five years. Me, I've in- Quebec, around for needed one been playing defense for nearly seven years with the Spartans and since we lost Sacnon, five years ago, the team was getting worse each year. ' Wfell, anyhow, a week before the season starts, we're drilling in the rink, getting into shape for the curtain- raiser. I skates over to joe Leblanc for a while and starts chewing the fat with him. joe, he's our manager and a good one at that. I'm good friends with him, and these little chats are common occurrences. We're gabbing about the schedule we have to face when a big, blond kid hops over the fence in front of the seats and comes walking toward us as if he owned the place. joe's first impulse is to rush him out on his ear, but there is something in his manner that makes joe resist. Maybe it was his six foot and some. But instead he barks belligerently, What d'ye want here? Come on, make it snappy. The kid says his name is Mack Stella, and he'd like to try out for the team, because he thinks he's good enough and that the Spartans ain't so hot, even if they are pro's. joe turns red and nearly swallows his cigar. Oh, yeah? he wheezes. The kid Oh yeahs in return and joe is getting madder by the minute at this fresh kid. Wfith a funny look in his eyes, he tells the kid to put a pair of skates on the hurry up. The young- ster beats it for the lockers and Joe calls Marty, our ace defenseman. over.
