OUR FIRST TROLLEY LEAGUE BANNER EARNED BY' KENT STATE HIGH ATHLETES 1925. It was in the midst of a basketball game that-midnight summer morn, When Kent State High won their first Trolley League Baseball banner When a home-run knocked by Joe DeLeone made our opponents' chances forlorn. It was a splendid home-run made in peculiar manner, An eighty yard drop kick from the forty-yard line. Oh! lt was a splendid drop kick, a forward pass that tickled the spine. It was a rare sight to see, a long basket was made. lt was three-quarters the length of the floor, right under our basket When Mart made the shot, such a shot has not been seen in the last decade. The ball acted crazy, and was drunk, if you don't believe me ask it. Bob Stopher did his part to win that Banner, he made several stupendous shots, He shot the shot-put, oh, so very farg they counted the distance to see, And found to all their surprise that it had traversed across forty lots. And landed in' Pug's backyard and broke a cabbage tree. Bob Hall played guard, a great guard he surely is, He prevented them from scoring all that game, they only got 30 points, He was so tired from doing good work that Fritz took him home in his liz. Friz was kind and drove very slow so as not to hurt Bob's joints. He drove very slow, if I am a good judge, I think it was ninety miles an hour or so. Lewie, the little boy, played center in that great game. He caught a center toss and ran 99 yards in ten feet of snow And the game put Kent State High on the map of fame. 66

The ball was passed to Van Hyning and as he kicked, Martin managed to get to him and block the ball as it left his foot. The ball bounded over the line again and Martin fell on it, making a touchdown. joe made the point after touchdown. The ball was kicked-off, and as there was little time left to play, Roosevelt started passing. The whistle blew after their last pass was intercepted. The ball went to the winning team. It will be hung in the new gym as a trophy. Our last game was with the Alumni on our field, November 28. The Ex-State- High Stars boasted that they would wallop us but they were sadly mistakeng we walloped them 21 to 7. Their touchdown was made by Frank Hallg he literally rolled over our line for a touchdown. None of our players took a chance on stopping the steam-roller. By the way, the touchdown was made overtime and Hall was in motion before the ball was snapped, but what did we care? The Alumni were so happy we couldn't bear to disappoint them. 65
