THE COACH.

From the Nashville American
THE COACH.
Most strenuous Of limb and voice,
He strolls the college football field.
With language sometimes rather choice
he tells his cohorts how 10 WELD
Their feet in doing drops and punts,
and hands In complicated stunts.
He shows them how TO start and run,
To shOrt-arm and TO interfere,
And how in playful sport and fun
To break leg or snip an ear:
And then on charging talks 30 each,
For at this feature he's a peach.
He's just about the biggest cheese
That figures IN the dish OF knowledge,
The profs. togeJheT-all Of these
And e'ea the head-push OF the college,
And trustees. an the blooming crop,
He's even bigger than the cop.
And after Turkey Day has come,
And be has made his last Grafton.
He boards a train and goes back home
And spends nin5 months in recreation;
And next September packs his pack
And gets a raise and comes on back.
