OWOSSO F. O. B., SAGINAW C. 0. D. Early on the morning of October 8, 1922, in company with several gentlemen of rank, I departed, afoot, from the fair city of Saginaw, to journey to the distant village of Owosso. perchance to arrive in the last mentioned village in time to witness the annual contest between the High School teams of each city. Ere the sun had reached the quarter mark in the arc above, we were well out upon our way, plodding wearily along the gravel road, occasionally turning about to gaze down the long trail in hope of seeing an approaching motorist, but alas, for myself, and my colleagues, no vehicle was in sight. How strange that no farmers passed along the way, to whose generosity we might appeal, and be given transportation. After six miles of weary travel, I set me down by the road side, but having all the true instincts of a hoboe, I neither grumbled nor became discouraged, nor did my associates. Away down the road we could hear the purring of a motor car; presently a cloud of dust was visible, and slowly the auto came to view. We hailed the driver. He turned his nose in the air, and sped on, accellerating his car to an even greater speed. Evidently he thought we were notorious highwaymen, and I half believed him, for I glanced at my clothing to see, if in any way, they resembled the garb of a hold-up man. Convinced that there was no similarity, I routed my comrades, and we again started down the road, foot-sore and weary. A few rods ahead, a farmer swung out of his private drive in a conveyance that rivaled a Roman chariot in dazzling brillancy of color. We hailed him. Old Liz shivvered and roar- ed. In a voice shaking with the vibration of this potent Ford, he bade us Hurry. We com- plied and after filling the rear and front seats of his venerable chariot, we continued our jour- ney in comfort. The farmer proved to be a genial old soul, who like all down-trodden agri- culturists, frequently kick about the poor prices paid for oats, and the heavy spring rains that ruined his potatoes. But I must get on with my story. After considerable delay, we arrived at New Lothrop, a village midway between Saginaw and Owosso. We hiked another mile and were picked up by a gang of Arthur Hill supporters and carried, rather rapidly, to our destination. In Owosso, we found the gang spread out all over the town, inspecting everything, and passing complimentary remarks, and otherwise, about Owosso ' s wimmen. Three o ' clock found us out on the field watching our local boys go down in defeat, for Owosso proved to be a scrappy bunch and Arthur Hill was defeated. 13-6 meant more than a defeat to my colleagues and me. We were penniless, having made the trip on our nerve. The game over, we tried to hail rides, but they wouldn ' t hail, so we took ourselves to the railroad yard, where several of the gang had already congregated. A freight train would undoubtedly arrive sooner or later, heavy on the last term. It arrived, but only after we had spent the night on the station platform at Owosso. At six o ' clock in the morning our Hoboes ' Pullman drew near. We hopped it, and arrived in Saginaw four hours later, C. O. D. {

FOOTBALL— SECOND TEAM The Arthur Hill reserves experienced another very successful season, being managed and coached again by A. G. Dersch of the chemisrty department. Among the opponents defeated were the Flint Mutes, Bay City and Breckenridge, the latter being one of the strongest team in the state in Class B. The only game lost in two years was dropped to Saginaw when the squad had been badly crippled by loss of players. From now on, a little brown jug, with the scores inscribed upon it is to be given to the winning team and the boys are resolved that hereafter it shall be at Arthur Hill.
