Show The Weber Literary Journal Laketown started to drive down the field, going five and ten yards at a down. A lucky thing for us happened. One of their players got put out and time was called. Then it happened. The coach called Ware out and sent Cupie in to take fullback. That was the last blow for me. I felt like crawling off and hiding like a yellow dog. Cupie came out shaking like a leaf so excited he forgot his own name when the referee asked for it. His presence evidently served its purpose because on the very next play the opposing quarter dropped the ball and one of our men recovered. I kicked out of danger and we downed the man on Laketown's twenty-yard line. Allah was certainly on our side. Slim Mulligan intercepted a forward and the ball was ours with only twenty yards to go. "The quaterback called a council of war and asked Cupie if he knew the signals. He said that he thought he did. The first play was for an end run by left halfback and five yards were gained. The fullback signaled. A dive through center was called but Christopher Augustus stood there like an Indian mummy until about three men hit him in mid center, and down he went. That made him wild-eyed; it must have broken that thick shell of peaceful benevolence. The quarter saw our only chance. He hollered out, 'X-Y-Z-Cupie-through-center'; and Cupie went. With one man hanging around his neck and two around his waist, Augustus Peterson ran twenty yards and scored the only touchdown of the game, just as the whistle blew." Then mourn not for your humble worth, Your loss in stringent test. His best is all a man can do, Be sure it is his best. 30 J. S.
