The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-19

Most strange to say there was a day
When ants could see quite well,
And were not forced, as they are now,
To find their way by smell.
But even so their eyes. you know,
We're rather weak and bad;
Intact a very brilliant light
Would nearly drive them mad.
Now the king of bugs. put on great
Jugs
And hired the ants to work,
AS ants, Of course, have never been
The sort Of folks to shirk. . -
They. served him well, so legends tell,
Except one fately night,
And since that night they all have
dwelt
Beneath fearsome blight,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-19

. 1t seems the king would have a fling
Upon his birthday night,
And ordered out his glow worm band
To flood the. scene with light.
Now glow worm light is full of might
And difficult to bear,
And so the ants were told to stay
Inside their servants lair.
But when. the crowd cheered long
and loud
At. such a glorious sight
The ants ran out and disObeyed
By looking at the light.
But, oh; the cries Of sore surprise
When all were stricken blind.
And now they feel and smell about
Because they wouldn't mind,

There is not much doubt that the high
school foot ball championship viii be de-
cided tomorrow. The result of the con-
test between Technical and Western Will
give one d lead which is not apt TO be
shortened in either of the games remain
ing to be played. Although Technical has
yet to meet Eastern. and Western has
Business scheduled i'll the final games, 1t
is not probable that the winner of to-
morrow's game will suffer defeat in its
last test. Technical beat Business, and If
Western can win from Tech it certainly
ought to be strong enough to. get away
with the Stenographers, Western won
from Eastern. and if Tech can administer
a defeat to the Red and White it would
seem that it should not lose TO the Capt.
tol Hill eleven.
The Tech and Western teams are not
unevenly matched, it would seem,
despite the disparity in their weights.
There has not been a great deal of
difference in their style of play. and
both defeated Central in exactly the
same way and by the identical score,
) to 0. Tech Will outweigh Western by
quite margin, although what weight
" eSiern has is very evenly distributed.
Western has been much more aggres
sive than Tech in the games played so
far. and both have shown about the
same style of play. Technical has one
good running back and so has Western,
although the former has a better line
plunger in Gibson than has the Red
and White. Gibson can gain a few
yards almost any time he takes the
ball. and he is steady enough to be de-
pended upon at all times.
The work of the two teams is apt
to be superior to any seen in the
scholastic games this season. Both are
being pointed for this contest. and
while scholastic teams have a way
of ingloriously falling down in critical
contests, they are very likely to show
much greater strength than in their
previous tests. Tech is perfecting two
or three new plays and SO is Western
Western is going to try to throw lot
OF forward passes because it's tutors
think the Tech secondary defense plays
too close to stop such plays, while
Technical will depend more on line
plunging and running game.
1t ought to be the best contest of the
scholastic year. with the odds favoring
neither team to any great extent Ii an
attempt We're to be made in advance to
pick the winner the chances probably
would be Tech. on the basis of its much
greater physical strength.

that of the NJ. A. C., according to report
and that II is stronger than it has been
given credit for being is shown by the
fact that it defeated Catholic University
by a larger score than did NillanoVa-
Washington College beat the Brooklanders
by 80 to o. while the best that NillanoVa
could do was to score 81 points.
At one time this season the Farmers
did not expect a very hard game against
Washington College but the. fact that
that eleven has been developing rapidly
and the Agg.es are not IN very good CON
dition would seem TO indicate that q
tough game is in store In fact 1t would

likely that a pretty even game VIII be

There is a possibility that neither

while Shipley has a bruised hip. Hof-

1t would be hard to find two better
ends in the south Atlantic section than
Donnelly and Bergin, who Will start IN
those positions for Georgetown against
Virginia Saturday. Donnelly has been
playing three years and this is Bergln $
fourth Both were rated among the top
notchers last fall and it is likely they
will do some extraordinarily good work
against the Orange and Blue.
If Mayer does not start the game for
Virginia, as has been reported. one or

line will find it more difficult to make
