AND SUCH Is FAME.
Written for the Globe.

Written Tor the Gl0De.
A player of the Yale eleven lay dying at the
school,
Refusing all the skilful aid Of doctors. like
fool;
And comrade stood beside him as his life
sands ebbed away,
And bent his port auricular to hear what he
might say.
The dying player faltered. like the soldier at
Algiers,
And murmured. soto voce-like, betwixt his
sobs and tears:
Take message to nv father, who's a friend
of Governor Peck;
If he asks you, what's the matter? say l got
it in the neck.
Tell my comrades (not those fellows in the
song that's going round.
But companions who assemble on the Jolly
That fought the battle bravely, and when
the fight was e'er
Full many limb was shattered, and full
many q head was sore;
And in that awful carnage of the jostling and
the jars
Were eariess men with eyes gouged out the
last Of many scars:
And none there were who escaped unhurt
unscathed amid the wreck,
But one-that's 'me'-had interfered and got
it in the neck.
TELL my sisters not to droop for me, nor sob
and hang their head:
It's bad enough-it might be worse if 1 had
vi lived insteGd;
fellow who takes part in sport so noble as
this game
Must not expect to live for aye-in death
there lies but fame.
Tell them quit this gruesome globe without
- a dread or fear,
n orlask the boys to rally round and give the
=; college cheer;
fancy can See the ball, far off-a tiny
speck-
The ball once got mashed on bad, and got
cd it in the neck.
TELL the half-backs and the quarter backs
n, to tackle hard and low,
And block opponents skilifully while dodg-
9 ing to and fro;
Then. should they buck the center with the
=, famous flying wedge.
Line up and meet the onslaught. Courage,
q boys, and never bulge.
2At last when, skyward, Butterworth the
punted spheroid sends,
Be quick to supplement- the play by running
S round the ends:
If any tackle interferes, your onward course
TO check,
Fight bite, haul. maul-and then. like me,
you'll get it i'll the neck.
Farewell. farewen--when have said fare
well forevermore,
And you see me hustled hurriedly from out
the college door,
Please don't bewail my sorry fate. or carry on
or storm
Post-mortem demonstrations are not in
proper form:
NO need to swatne in mourning Grape your
swell six-dolIar hat
Just wear bit of plain Yale blue and let it
90 at that.
Remember me to Hinkey, Sliilman, Murphy
and McCrea.
With lest respects to Armstrong Thorne,
Beard, IiIckok and Greenway;
And kind regards to all the boys who still re-
main on deck
just tell them glory waits for him who gets
il in the neck"
