L WHIP has spirit that nothing daunts:
Once he gets his eye on something he wants;
He rolls up his sleeves, and pitches in
With a splendid zeal that is bound to win
Il Will" never hesitates lest he fail
In his heart he's that he will prevail.
No mountain can halt him, however high;
There's no task so hard but he'll have try
WHIP sets his teeth when things start off wrong;
He just grins, and mutters: This can't last long.
I'll take a fresh start; and adversely
Will be going some if he catches me.'
I WHIP has punch hid in either hand
He has training, strength, and heap of sand;
He swings his hard fists in the worlds grim face
And he bangs away till the world gives place.
/ Will" understands in his own strength lies
The one chance he'll get at the thing men prize.
Discouragements failure nothing chill
The stout heart of him who declares. Il Will.'

Taken From Sporting Life

From The Good Old Timers Angle
The good old football days are dead,
Now squeamish umpires rather frown
On kicking in rivals head
The moment that you get him down.
The cleated dance on prostrate frame
Is but happy memory now;
Slugging's not practiced in the game
(Not in the open, anyhow.)
Mayhem's discouraged; gouging too,
Seldom we hear the thrilling moan
OF old. Men play contest through
Without single broken bone.
Men seek for skill instead of skull,
And speed instead of beef and height,
The undertakers find it dull,
This game is growing too polite.
