wonht tell on them. When we got through we fixed 111? a job 011 Allison so that he Would be the goat. . We knew that Aliison WO'uId appeal to Ralph Hoffman as to his Innocence, so we Just Simply kidnapped him; I let him out about fifteen minutes ago. The only thing I did it for was because I was sore at Alllson for not joining us in the job. I thought I would do one good thlng for the 3011401, for 1 really love it, so that iswhy I am telling you this. That is all 1 have to say about it. I am going to take the three oiclook train, and am, going for good, so that it will do no good to follow neg, Before the astonished professor and Allison could say anything, Barton had left the grandstand and was out of sight in the large crowd. In less time than it takes to tell it, Sidney was in a football suit and asking Mr. Williams, the coach, to let him iinish the lag; of the game. Mr. Williams oonsentednand the referee called time so as to make the change in the line-up. As Sidney took his place in the team, a mighty cheer went up from the VVinship bleachers. Ten minutes more to play? said Mr. Williams to Sidney, iiDo your best? Craven had the ball and was making slow progress up the field. Williams cried, iiThre-e more minutesiii Some one fumbled the ball and Allison recovered it! Tucking ' the ball under his aria, he ran down the field to the distance posts which marked Craven,s goal line. There were two more Craven men to dodge! He straight-armed one and dodged the other! He seemed to fall as he neared the goal line but he made the goal before he fell! Then the world went black to him. As he opened his eyes he heard some one say, HHe has got a sprained ankle? The next thing he heard was tiRah-Rah-Rah; Rah-Rah-Rah; Rah-Rah-Rah; Allisoniii .It drowned out everything and seemed strangely sweet to him. The setting sun cast a dull red glow over the quaint, moss- covered brick buildings of Winship College. propped up in a chair by the window, iiGee, but its great to be a part as he watched the red Sidney Allison sat. looking out upon the sunset. sunset slowly fade into darkness. m- r s in .LW . t? :3; -- . n t : ; L.- .e. :i7d I f WIC4 k K ?;V'it ' , 1.; . g . x i y e: K '69 - ,..

The next morning Sidney was presented with a cold formal note which ran: ttCircumstances prove your guilt in last nights affair. You are forbidden participation in athletics until further notice. Sin- cerely, G. S. Sumner, Pres. VVinship Collegef, Sidney was stunned and bewildered by the suddenness of the blow that came upon him. The rest of the day he spent in trying to find Ralph Hoffman, but it was of no avail, for Ralph had dise appeared as completely as though the earth had swallowed him. He found Barton at the dining hall, and curbing a wholesome desire to ttlicktt him passed him with a cold stare. Sidney knew it was no use to ask for Bartorfs help, for Barton was- a thoroughly selfish fellow. Another twenty four hours passed and Ralph Hoffman was not found, although there were several detectives following up the case. Sidney had given up in despair and foresaw the defeat of the football team that afternoon. A substitute was to, be put into his place for the game but defeat was a certainty. Meanwhile the whole school was in an uproar over Allison. Some defended his actions, while others upbraided him for his seeming disloyalty to the school. The afternoon was a perfect one. The Craven College team arrived at noon and were royally treated by their rivals. The game was called at two thirty and a great crowd was on hand long before that, as the Craven-Winship game was a time honored event in the little college town. NAre you ready, Winshipiw cried the referee, ttAre you ready, Craven? He blew his whistle and the great game was on. Craven had the ball and took things with a rush. They made their downs steadily and soon the ball was on Winshipts ten yard line. Five yards more and then two more! ttThree yards to go, boys? yelled the Craven captain. The next try resulted in a touchdown. Craven failed to kick goal. At the end of the half the score stood, Craven-G, Winship-O. Sidney was watching the game from the substitute bench when Barton tapped him on the shoulder. ttI want to see you, follow me? and he beckoned to the grand- stand where President Sumner sat. Sidney followed without protest. ttVVhat do you want, boysiw asked Mr. Sumner. ttI haVe something to tell'you if you will go somewhere where no one can hear? Barton replied quickly. ttAll right, boys? agreed the President. Sidney wonderingly followed the two to an empty place in the grandstand. ttNow what is it you want to tell meiw asked Mr. Sumner. ttI-I-FVe got a confession to make, blurted out Barton. tTm the one who was the ringleader in that miX-up about stacking the books in the Auditorium. Four other fellows helped me but I Page 21

Of us, Freshmen in green raiment, Of the Sophs for work more ready Of the Juniors, happy, carefree;' Of the Seniors now in power As a monarch oter his kingdom? I should answer, I should tell you, From the legends of the Students, From the Archives of the High School, From the numbers of the ttBoomerK From the records of the teachers Kept so well in their small notebooks. I repeat them as I heard them From the lips of upper classmen, The observers, the real judges, From the murmurings of the teachers, And from silent ttBoomertt numbers. Should you ask where upper classmen Learned these stories, boastful, truthful; I should answer, I should tell you, By the showing of us Freshmen Made in games of basket ball As from Sophomores and Seniors All the Victories we did win, And to make them very watchful And to give them good surprises Sophomores were noted, leading In the team for state debating. Should you ask if we were lacking In the art of playing baseball,
