The Man Behind the Gun Said the knowing splint from the field goal post: It wasn't Rockne or Hurry up Yost But another coach who knew his stuff When to be easy and when to be rough. Of course, to win he needed a team! And did he have it? So it would seem. At centre was Ansbro, a broth of a lad, Who some claimed was ancient-now wasn't that sad? With Tede and Murphy guarding the line Were Cochrane and Richards, tackling fine. Plenty of power was out on the end- Iorio, Lee, and Gibbons, my friend. Oh, boy and Oh, boy, did John have the backs? Take it from me, son, they were the cracks-A Flaherty, Finnie, Campbell, Lombardi- I'll say they were good-so speedy and hardy. Cn Election Day, in the year ThirtyfFour- You'll let out a yell when you look at the score- Lincoln came through with a win-Twelve to None! And Slane was the coach behind the gun. H. E. P.

D irector As the Lincoln athletes set outstanding records in all sports, the L. A. A. becomes more organized and more in need of the support of the student body, for this is the organization which backs the teams financially. This group offers their support by buying an L. A. A. card with no other benefit than that of knowing that they are aiding athletics in Lincoln. Under the capable direction of the ofhcers and advisers, the Lincoln Athletic Association has held two successful dances, has made an enviable record in the sale of tickets, has taken charge of the Monday noon dances, and as this Quill goes to press, plans to hold a radio show for the benefit of the treasury. The L. A. A. is no longer an empty name. Enthusiastic students, proud of their teams, have made this organization the most powerful in the school.
