HIRAM's 3O-CENT SPORTS ARE
SORE"

Even as little child yells when 1t is
thrashed by It's parent, so doth Hiram,
lost somewhere UP in the backlands Of
Portage county, set up "baby" pro-
test in one Of the morning papers. The
trouble with the Hiramites is that they
have not yet realized that Buchtel's
cleverness was too much for their beef.
With the exception of two or three
members, the Hiram team would make
better showing in Sunday school
class than on gridiron. If Hiram
thinks she was buncoed out of the
game, lot her go on with her medita-
tions. 1t will not be necessary for the
manager of the Buchtel team next year
to schedule Hiram. There are plenty Of
colleges far better than Hiram who are
ready to play Buchtel. AS to playing
ringers" let the Hiram "sports" who
went home good and sore because they
dropped the enormous sum of perhaps
500 on their "darlings," ask Mt. Union
or Wooster or Heidelberg or any team
Buchtel has played. If they have stack
ed up against ringers"
