In a few more days the corps will go into
winter-quarters ; then good-bye to long, tire
some drill for a few month’s at least. It is
so fine to be able to makeup a good file in
your room, take a good book, and spend an
afternoon in reading it. It is during this
term that we really have any time that we
may call our own and the boys are not slow
to appreciate it.
Foot Ball Game.
The Sand Crabs, in their blue and yellow hose,
Thought they could/beat us if they chose; ^
They played a pretty game,
But we won it just the same,
And how jubilant we are nobody knows.
They said at first ’twas weight that made it
seem
As if the College had the better team—
But Valdez and Sims and Lane
And McDonald made it plain
That our boys could run as well as tip the
beam.
The papers seemed to think Grempczynski’s
name
Alone would be enough to win the game;
That Krug would be surprised,
Terror stricken, paralyzed,
By the consonants and vowels of the same.
But its hard to give the college boys a scare—
(They say its owing to the Mess Hall fare)
)fk/ Andj-Snapperback”
Exhibited no lack
Of pluck and strengeh and will to do and dare.
When our plucky right-half got his ankle
[bruised,
And the cry was for Pond’s extract to be used,
Or when Perkins, faint and white
Lay there bleeding, ’twas a sight
To shudder at, but how the boys enthused.
When rising from the dust and crowd and dirt,
As fresh as if they’d.neter ( ;been hurt,
Those brave fellows formed in line,
And I tell you, it was fine
When Valdez, still limping, made that last
[great spurt.
On last Saturday night the Austin had a

Our coll?ge band is improving daily under
the able and efficient management of Leader
Jenkins, and we think there are few amateur
bands in the state that can furnish as good
music as does ours.
