The gridiron is a barren waste
The bleachers stand and yawn
The ditches yet half gore-tilled trace
Where tunny a bloody light was on.
A limb, ahead, some cast-oil' brains
And here and theie a cast iron shield.
Or Kansas sheet-iron pad remains,
And bets "refunded" dot the Held
High o'er that Held a penn.mt waves
With not a stain its folds to mar:
And Woodruff on athletics raves
In the columns of the K C. Star.
Wave on proud pennant in your pride,
The world of pure athletics tell!
We'll cuss "Doc" Woodruff on the side
The while he "practices" in Kansas City.

We needed a full grown man
To crack some skulls imd break sonic bone.-.,
Thus to devise a plan
To squelch once more
That deafening roar
In the Library.

Oli how my first thought sadly failed
The peace and quiet of the days of yon;
Where a full-grown man has failed
To squelch once more
That deafening roar
In the Library.
How doth the little football boys
Improve the shining hours;
And dig, and dig, and dig, and dig
To 'pease uufrendl.v v-ow'rs.

And every one of them has hitched
His wagon to a star.
