18 THE ACORN B. B. (enrolling her). Lovely!! B. B. Any M's? S. B. No Sir!!! B. B. This is Mortifying-, some Mistake, I suppose. Any N's? Student (arising) Yes sir: My self!! B. B. Nonsense. Don't say Nobody. Any O's? Student (arising) Yes Sir! Oliver!! B. B. That's Odd, but you are not All-over. Any P's? Student (arising) One in particular! B. B. Well one is Pacifying but don't be so Pert. Any Q's? S. B. No Sir!! B. B. Well, it would be Queer if there were a Q. Any R's? S. B. None!!! B. B. I must say that this is Remarkable!-and the students have since been wondering what what this was. Any S's. (No one spoke) B. B. Silence, eh. Something Singular. Any T's? (No answer, or the T was Tardy) B. B. This Trifling is Terrible! Any U's! Student (aside) I don't see much use in it. (Others all silent) Lighting His Way Along There are students living far away, And others living near; But oftimes the nearest student Finds it harder to be here. There are students who, on after hours, Time cannot be spared; And we wonder why those students Never answer "unprepared!" See him coming every morning, Some prefer to call it night Some perhaps are daily guessing How he calms his appetite, See his lantern,note its nicker As it guides him on to school; Aye! we'll tell you he's a sticker, Not an educated fool. If we'd daily cease to wonder We perhaps could find the time: If we'd think of work before us, We could make a higher climb. If you wish a good example You can follow day by day, There's a student, here among us And his name begins with "J" Let them ridicule you Joseph, Let them scoff at you who will; You'll be riding with the nobles While they're climbing up the hill. If the student finds the problem That 'tis hard to solve aright Kindly give him your prescription: Let him stay awake all night. W. E. THE ACORN 19 On Jan. 19, we played with the L. D. S. at Salt Lake. The game was rough and rather slow. Our team did not play with their usual spirit. This caused our defeat, the score being 15 to 19. After the game the Juniors and Seniors of the University gave a reception to our team. A delicious supper was served. Toasts were given by the Principals of the two schools and the managers of both teams. The next day, we met the team of the B. Y. U. at Provo. Here again, our boys did not play as well as usual, and gave Provo an easy victory, the score being 30 to 10. The game was very slow on account of the many fouls called on both teams. On Feb. 2, we played the A. C. on our own field. The game was interesting from start to finish, and both teams played excellent ball. The first half ended with a tie score, 6 to 6. In the second half, the A. C. team was not able to score from the field, while we made three baskets. This made a final score of 12 to 8 in our favor. On Feb. 9, we again met the B. Y. U., this time at Ogden. Our boys scored first, and were soon several points ahead. Provo saw that they were losing the game, and started to play rough ball. From that time on, the game was very rough. At the end of the first half, we led by one point. In the second half, Provo played rougher than ever, and so took the game, the final score being 15 to 11. On Feb. 16, we met the S. S. D. in our hall. There was a pretty exhibition of team work on both sides, the S. S. D. boys played a good game, but were unable to block our team plays. The game, resulted in a score of 32 to 9 in our favor. We played the L. D. S. team in Ogden on Feb. 23. Both teams played with a determination to win. After a hard struggle, the L. D. S. won with a score of 27 to 22. After the game, the class of '08 gave a reception to the members of the two teams.
