Wednesday Afternoon, April 3, 1946 The Battalion Page 3 PENNY’S SERENADE SPORTS By W. L. Last week I got a kick out of a little poster sign in the Construc tion Program office. The sign read—“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” As I read this sign I thought|H back over the;; many athletic con-- tests I have wit nessed, and could remember many that had been won because a man or a team had reach- : ed the end of the rope but had indi cated refusal to] quit by tying that knot and hanging^ on. I have alsoj known many de- - feats to come to , ,, those who lacked Penberthy the desire and will to make one DOKEY’S SPRING CARNIVAL Greater United Shows SHOWING ALL THIS WEEK Bryan — End of South Main Street THRILLING RIDES NEW SHOWS Penberthy more effort necessary to gain vic tory. One of my favorite stories is about the man who watched the stone mason with, chisel and maul attempt to break a large stone. As the man watched the mason he started counting the blows struck On the hundredth blow the large stone split and fel apart just at the right place. Then the part I like is that the man realized that it wasn’t that hundredth blow that had split the stone, but the ninety- nine before. I am afraid that in a great many instances we fail to gain real suc cess because we quit just short of the goal. We get so very weary and the outlook seems so discour aging and hopeless, but it is sur prising how in so many instances the situation can be so radically changed by just that one more push or heave. The old saying that it is darkest just before the dawn should give us a lot of hope and courage when the going is tough.
