THE WAGGING TONGUE
By Beulah Allen
While all thoughts are centered on
football it might be well to tell you
of the first inter-collegiate game:
"A match between Harvard and Mc-
Gill (Montreal) played on May 13, 1874,
was the first inter-collegiate football
game ever contested. Harvard won, but
on the second day was held to tie in a
contest played according to Rugby rules.
The manner of playing was simple.
\ player could either 'run, throw, or
pass' the ball when it came to him.
Many good struggles' are recorded in
a contemporaneous account.
Eleven players participated in the
first game, but as a matter of chance
rather than design, four of the Cana- j
dian players having been detained in
Montreal. For the first time in its j
history the Harvard team cast aside
their usual costume, consisting of the
olilest clothes available, and wore dark |
trousers, white undershirts and ma
genta scarfs wound round their heads.
Their opponents appeared neatly uni
formed in English fashion.
The game consisted of three half
liour peloids. Five hundred people
witnessed the struggle."-—The New Stu
dent.
And while we're speaking of football
we might as well see what Shakespeare
had to say about it:
"Down, down:"—Henry VI.
''Well placed:"—Henry VI.
"An excellent pass."—The Tempest.
"A touch, a touch I do confess."—
Loves Labor Lost.
"Pell Mell, down with them."—Hen
ry VI.
"This shouldering of each other."—
Henry VI.
"Being down 1 have the placing."—
Cym beline.
"Let him not pass, but kill him rath
er."—Macbeth.
"We must have bloody noses and
cracked crowns."—Henry VI.
"Worthy sir, thou bleedest: thy ex
ercise has been too violent." —Corio-
lanus.
"It's the first time I ever heard break
ing ribs was sport."—As You Like It.
—Boston Transcript.
Isn't it funny how one poem inspires
two people in different ways or at least
the results are different.
The Charge of the Bobbed Brigade
Bobbed hair to the right of us.
Bobbed hair to the left of us,,
Bobbed hair behind us,
Tresses asundered.
Some with a heavy crop.
Some with a lighter mop,
Into the the barber shop
Walked the bobbed hundred.
THE GUILFORDIAN
Women of high degree,
Women past fifty-three,
Determined that they shall be
One of the numbered.
Women of every class,
Mother, and little lass,
Flappers ail join the mass
Of the bobbed hundred.
Some with bangs, some without,
Some shingled round about,
Some in curls; some in doubt,
Fear they have blundered.
Some of the look real swell,
Some of them look like —well,
Just as well not to tell
On the bobbed hundred
—The Florida Flambeau.
The Charge of the Math Brigade
Mary Frances Biggers
Logs to the right of them,
Logs to the left of them,
Cologs in front of them
Countlessly numbered;
Bravely they fought on thru,
Till at last they found the clue,
And worked tiiose problems, too,
That wise half hundred.
Half a page, half a page,
Half a page onward,
Into Trigonometry
Fought the half hundred;
"Forward the Trig Brigade!"
Five or six fools dismayed;
They hadn't worked!
They'd played
While others fought onward.
"Up to the board!" she cried,
"Relph Apple, don't try to hide!"
Ralph was all petrified
But he worked onward;
Forward the Trig Brigade,
Oh, such a mess they made,
And four or five, they stayed
Next year to fight onward.
PASSING THOUGHTS ON
LESSER PASSING THINGS
By Katherine Shields
In spite of all the poetry written about
young love in springtime, the ten
der passions seem hovering over our
campus even yet. Probably the Bat
tleground hike started it, as Battle
ground hikes seem to do, but any way
we saw a delicious example of it the
other day. Two freshmen girls were
walking slowly across the campus arm
in arm, and occasionally glancing de
murely across the way where an adven
turous gallant was standing. Various
little tiffs of words and coquettish fem
inine giggles marked their progress
towards the post office, while the young
gallant hesitated, torn between a natur
al timidity and a desire to accompany
his lady fair on her way.
Later we saw them coming up the
walk towards Founders, and this time
the boy was walking between them—
blissfully ignorant of the etiquette of
the occasion. Evidently he had taken
the plunge and was feeling considerably
more at ease, though still slightly in
awe of girls in general. But he was
grinning sheepishly from which we in
fer that he had asked her for a date at
the next social, or was contemplating
it.
We hear that considerable interest
was aroused over the passing of the
Shenandoah—Chapel reports to tliecon
trary.
