14 THE ACORN ATHLETIC NOTES. Friday afternoon the team from the Agricultural college of Logan and the Academy team met in a very hotly contested game of basketball. The way in which the teams were matched made the game interesting from start to finish. In the first half it looked as though victory was certain for the W. S. A. boys, the score being 9 to 6 when the whistle blew for rest. For the first fifteen minutes of the second half the score was even. After a few minutes of fast playing the Academy gained one point on a foul which made the score 13 to 14 in favor of the Academy. Hawly and Taylor played the best game for the visitors, pitching some very difficult field throws. For the Academy, Doxey and Belnap were the stars. Cragun was very accurate in pitching field throws. On a whole the team work of our boys was far below its standard. The following is the line-up: W. S. A. POSITIONS. A. C. U. Irvine R. F. Adams Cragun L. F. Finlayson Doxey Center Hawly Belnap R. G. Taylor Berlin L. G. Hermansen The basketball game played last Saturday between the '05 class of the Brigham Toung College and Junior team of the "Weber Stake Academy-was the most interesting game of the season. It was a quick, snappy, and hotly contested game. The boys did fine team work, although the basket throwing was a little loose in the first half. Our men, too, were seven and a half pounds lighter to the man than the visitors. Jenson and Wangsgard were the star players of the B. Y. C, Jenson scoring five pretty baskets and WangsgarC making five, foul throws. The game was void of quarreling. Officials were honest in decisions. Mr, Campbell, of the A. C. of Logan, was umpire and Mr. Nelson referee. The boys have accepted a return game in the future and it is to be hoped that victory will be placed on record for the Weber Stake Juniors. Line-up: B. Y. C. POSITION. W. S. A. Jenson Center Manning Waite R. F. McKay Wangsgard L. F. Thompson Schneider R. G. Lindsay Marrell L. G. Wintle The A. C. of Logan played the Mutes previous to this game. The Mutes were considerably smaller. They held their positions well considering the great disadvantages they were playing under. The score was 22 to 7 in favor of the A. C. The ladies of the Weber Stake Academy have accepted a challenge from the B. Y. College of Logan to be played in the near future. CONUNDRUM. Why is Powell like a drunkard? He always has a glass in front of him. WANTED An asbestos fire-proof hat for Aaron Tracey. A. Tracey You need some one to shingle your head, Parry. Parry Never mind, old boy, if they shingled your roof I think they would need some protection from the fire therein. A. Tracey I wouldn't DOUBT it. THE ACORN 15 a spring rhapsody. With apologies to the students to whom this poem is respectfully dedicated. Green spring is here, but Birdie dear O'er this sad thought is cryin': Miss Rose will be the happy bride Of Mr. Dandy Lyon. Tho' it Be Craft or Art, I like to see the Green-well kept. The Wooley sheep were Blanching there The while the lambkins slept. "We shan't much longer Terry here," Said Principal McKay, "Because the knotty Wood Ir-vine Might steal a March on May." Just then I dropped my weary head, Spring fever had come in, I fell asleep, unconscious of The schoolroom's busy din. "Ho! Wood-man-see! in yonder Glen There Izzakitten young, That has been Bitton by a snake, In Paine it wags its tongue." "Elisha'll see if it is hurt," The woodman's heart was sorry, "And set it 'neath the Elmer beech, Or take it to McQuarrie." With axe in hand he Saunders off, Past Taylor, Child and Brown; Who Ftta Single-ton of grapes To keep their sorrow down. Ff-fie Wood haste, I'm sure the Paine Would Pierce that cat no more. E-mett a river in his path That man had ne'er been o'er. He tried to Ford the stream alas! My brows I kept a knittin'; But since I've not seen Tayl-or Ed Of woodman, axe, or kitten. While thinking of that woodman's death I could not Budge for woe. His soul went to the Evans or The Furness down below. I upward turned my gaze, and saw The Wiley Ev-a-proaching; And Crag-un peak seemed saying, that On night I was encroaching. Then, horrors! I slipped off a brink And tumbled in a heap. I'd merely fallen on the floor From where I'd been asleep. I rubbed my eyes, I stretched my arms, And heard "five minutes" ring. Dear students, do not be alarmed 'Twas just a dream of spring. Moral McKay while the sun shines. WALTER EMMET. Professor Lind had just returned from Ogden canyon, where he had taken his class in geology to search for specimens. "Well, Clyde," asked the professor next morning, "what did you notice about the canyon in particular?" Lindsay "Oh, I saw some fine meadow land below Winslow's where a thousand sheep could fatten in no time." Albert Powell always goes to bed at eight or nine o'clock. The other night he went to the Academy dance and stayed awake until nearly two o'clock in the morning. Wonderful boy! The next day he got up to go to school, one-third awake and two-thirds asleep. Mechanically grabbing the hair brush which he mistook for a hand mirror, he rubbed his eyes and gazed at the bristles, exclaiming, "Gosh! I need a shave." New Pupil Mr. Manning, can you tell me what the fifth year of the Normal course is? Manning It's the one we haven't had yet.
