 —T H E A R R () W—pa ik twenty-six FOOTBALL The enthusiasm for football at Mukwonago High School in 1916 was great. Never before was such a spirit shown toward the game. We met with real success considering jhat mater- ial we had to pick from in our High School. Many of the players had never played football before, but after a few weeks of good coaching and strenuous work, we developed a good team. Elkhorn at Mukwonago The game was played upon our high school campus. We outclassed our opponents. Bar- liofen, our fullback, starred. Mukwonago 36. Elkhorn 0. Burlington at Mukwonago Burlington came here with a heavy team and things looked dull to us, but when the game commenced we outclassed them in all ways. They were fooled many times by end runs, with Barhofen carrying the ball. Burlington 6, Mukwonago 30. Mukwonago at Delafield We journeyed to Delafield and met the strong St. John’s Military Academy team. They outweighed and outclassed us, but we put up a game fight for the name Mukwonago. Mukwonago 0, Delafield 20. West Bend at Mukwonago West Bend came here with a fast team, but their line was weak against our back field. Our two touchdowns were made by line plunges in the first half. The second half was open playing on both sides; neither side managed to score. Mukwonago 12, West Bend 0. Walworth at Mukwonago This was the hardest contest fought upon the home campus and the game was played with snap and brilliant plays. Carroll starred for Mukwonago, making a touchdown after running around left end for sixty-five yards, winning the game. Mukwonago 13, Walworth 6. Mukwonago at Milwaukee Our last game of the season was played with Bay View High School. We had to play on a frozen, rough field, and it was very cold. Bay View kicked to Mukwonago. Goetz carried the ball to the middle of the field. A long forward pass, Goetz to Barhofen, resulted in a touchdown in the first minute of play. Bay View got their touchdown in the second quar- ter, by line plunges. The second half was scoreless, but well played. Bay View’s back field was plunging like tigers so fast that the referee could not keep up. Mukwonago 6, Bay View 7.

Or a key for the lock of his hair? Can his eye be called an academy. Because there are pupils there? In the crown of his head what jewels are set? Who travels the bridge of his nose? Can he use. when he shingles the roof of his mouth, The nails on the end of his toes? What does he raise from a slip of his tongue? Who plays on the drums of his ears? And who can tell the cut and style Of the coat his stomach wears? Can the crook of his elbow be sent to jail? And if so, what did it do? And how does he sharpen his shoulder blades? I declare I don’t know, do you? A GHOST STORY One day a little boy was invited to a party, given by his playmates. He had to walk through woods to get where the party was held. He got to the place and found his play- mates waiting for him. They played games, ate ice cream and did many other things. But before they knew' it, night came on, and the little boy had to w'alk home through the woods again. When he got to the middle of the forest he stopped; he thought he heard some- thing make a noise, he looked around, and he saw a white figure coming toward him. (Continued on page 200.) M------------------- i'll bet He is one of those lazy jays Who sits in school and always plays, The teacher’s friend he never wras For wrhen told to work, he never does. He loves to make a cat-like noise, Just to bother other boys. The teacher’s goat he often gets When he gives the class the laughing fits. He sits for hours with vacant look. He never glances at his book; He does not know' his idle stare Will never put him anywhere. When the teacher turns her head around Some new' trick this boy has found. To bother others working near And rob their time w'hich is so dear. If, he, that idle boy, would think Of fleeting hours, as good as chink, And put his mind on lessons fine Then too his sleepy brain might shine. —Swiped. —A. TANS, ’17.
