back. had hurt his ankle and was unable to continue in the game. The best thing we could do was to take o11e of the lines- men and put in his place. The playing was resumed. Never did a team go down the iield so fast before. South Division seemed like a paper wall. VVe went along thirty and forty yards at a time until we got to South's live-yard line. Ilere AIN called Jones across right tackle for a touchdown. VVe failed to kick goal and after a few more minutes of hard playing the game was called with a score of 5 to 0 in favor of Racine. The team had played its best game and it all was due to the no- ble spirit of its players. -John Belden, 1913. AN ATHLETE 'S HE-ART From A Spectator. No. 13. February 16, 1912. Intenti exspectant signum exsultan- tiaque haurit, Corda pavor pulsaris laud- um que arrecta cupidsf' CH'l'hey await the signal eagerly, throb- bing excitement and eager passion for glory drain their bounding hearts. D I should perhaps have waived this un- dertaking, had I not been forced to it by our English teacher, who is very importu- nate with us to make us write something for the Annual better than we have al- ready done. It is, therefore, in com- pliance with necessity that I have under- taken this theme, which I shall enter upon without further preface. Our operator, before he engaged in this visionary operation, told us that there was nothing more simple in his art than to lay open the heart of an athlete, because it is connected only with the muscles by long tubes or tracks. He desired us first of all to observe the pericardium, or outward ease of the heart, which we did Very attentively, and by the help of field glasses discerned in it mil- lions of elevations and depressions, which seemed to have been occasioned by the al- ternate feelings of hope and despair. Nor nmst I here miss an experiment one of the company assured us he himself had made with the liquor which he found in great quantities about the heart of an ath- lete which he had formerly dissected. He affirmed to us that he had actually en- closed it in a small glass tube made after the manner of a weather glass, but that, instead of acquainting him with the varia- tions of the atmosphere, it showed him the qualities of those persons who entered the room where he stood. Ile affirmed also that it rose at the approach of a pair of broad shoulders, a lettered sweater or a gold medal, and that it fell as soon as a professor came i11to his house. Nay, he proceeded so far as to assure us that upon his discussing football when he stood by it the liquor mounted sensibly and imme- diately sunk upon his mentioning half- years' exams. In short, he told us that he knew very well by this invention when- ever he had a man of sense or an athlete in the room. Helen Van Arsdale, '12, ' dl - o L' VN? ,js o,s 'Q O Oo: I - l ,Q 4 .
