not the object.
They have developed endurance and
stamina and have a great deal of amuse
ment out of the sport.

infestered the boxing will furnish amuse
ment for their comrades in short bouts.

burg basketball team invades eastern ter
ritory next week, having games Thursday,
Friday and Saturday with Lafayette, Al
lentown Ambulance team, and Lehigh. It
was originally intended to do away with
the trip entirely but as the three games
scheduled are all to be played in towns
within a few miles radius, the arrange
ments were finally approved.
The Pitt team, while not up to the
standard of the, last two years due to the
loss of all regulars to the service,
has been making., a record. The first five
games resulted in victories, one being
over Yale University here New Year's
night. The fast Allegheny College team
administered the locals their first defeat
of the year on February Ist. This team
lias won 7 of 8 games played against
Pitt in the last ten years.
As there is to be no varsity baseball
team this year, the list of candidates for
track is greater than ever. Frank Shea,
a sophomore, who holds 440-yard national
A. A. U. senior title, is going at his best
and has broken several records on the
University indoor track.
Word has been received that J. A.
(Jack) Thompson, last year’s football
manager, who Is in France, received a
commission as first lieutenant of avia
tion. He had a 175 foot fail recently but
was not seriously hurt. “Pat" Herron,

The football coach is full of gloom.
His heart is dismal as a tomb,
And all he does is fret and fume
Before the season's started'.
As cheerless as a skull and bones.
He fills the air with moans and groans.
And speaks in mournful monotones,
For he is broken-hearted.
In baseball, on the other hand.
The manager is like a band
That rings throughout a happy land
Its loud and joyous prattle.
Though meh of common sense may think
His baseball team is on the blink,
He is an optimistic gink
About the coming battle.
One sings a wild and merry jazz
About the wondrous team he has, %
The other is as mournful as
The cold gray morning after.
One likes to pose in deep despair.
The other scatters heated air,
And each of them performs his share
To fill the. world with laughter.
