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

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.

College Physician
Advises Caution
In Sunbathing
Dr. Marsh, college physician, ad
vises caution in taking sunbaths.
“Begin your exposure to the sun
gradually. Don’t attempt to spend
more than a half-hour in the sun
at first. And above all, don’t go
to sleep while exposed.”

breeding to Revenere, a fine ani
mal the college has been using for

make an excellent sire, according
to F. I. Dahlberg, acting head of
