THE VINTON ARROW FOR NINETEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE The Price of Victory A foe was loose and the field was clear, Ile bore toward our goal with a savage rash, One man alone was left to stop his mad career- The crowd brolfe forth from a breathless hush. Roger saw the danger but he knew no fear, He alone that man must stop, A touchdown, defeat, were all too near, Into the runner he dove-they dropped. Oh! victory, that game was won in glory, But robbed art thou of all thy pomp and flash,- That one last dive has closed the story, Stewart's life has paid the price. He is gone, yes, gone foroper To a distant Football Ground,- Gone across the gloomy river For life's last and Great Touchdown. H -John H-icklin, '25,
