L Ne q little Wet nome IN tne trench
Which the rainstorms continually
drench.
Blue sky overhead,
Mud and clay for q bed
And the stone that we used for q
bench.
Bully beef and hard biscuits we chew,
1t seems years since we tasted q stew;
Shells crackle and scare
But no place can compare
With my little wet home in the
trench.
Our friends in the trench all the way
Seem to know that we've come hore
to stay;
They rush and they shout
But they can't get us out,
Though there's no dirty trick they
don't play.
They rushed US a few nights ago.
But we don't like intruders, and so
Some departed quite sore.
Others sleep evermore.
Near my little wet home in tho
trench.

points were scored on Tech all sea-

laid claim to the Eastern Pennsyl-
vania scholastic title. was beaten, 7S
to 0. Beck, left halfbaclS, brother of
the former Penn State fullback, was

through the entire team for touch

son next summer" says Dreyfuss,
because the troops will be coming
home and there will be more or less
confusion while the country is
scrambling back to a peace basis,
but I believe the game will flourish
and in 1920 we should see a real sure
enough revival"
