To the Girls Basket Ball Team
Who Played Such a Spleen
did Game Against Kossuth.

Who Played Such a Splen-
did Game Against kossuth.
1t was half past nines
When we boarded the train
To go to Kossnth
To play ball game.
There were eight OF the girls
i And three of the boys
Who, jolly as clowns,
Scattered their joys.
The old Dodge truck
Was packed to the brim,
But the lack of space
! Did not worry them.
We rolled into town
At twelve fifteen,
And to tell the truth
Our faces were not clean.
Because. along the road
Where the old truck ran,
| We had surely been scrambled
With a lot of sand.
The girls hurriedly dressed,
Without washing their faces,
And on the ball court
They took their places.
There were Mabel and Long Boy
To shoot our goals
And bring gloom and sadness
To Kossuth's fans souls.
In the center for us
Were Make and Witt,
Who played such ball
Our rooters had a fit.
And the ones to worry
The old Kossuth team
Were Jewel and Looney,
Who played the game clean.
And, lest | forget,
On the coaching line
Were Rikard and Long
And Marilou so kind.
And little Mae Dell,
Though small in size,
Was telling Kossuth
The wherefores and why's.
Your humble servant
Tossed up the~ball
And ran around
Trying to call
All the fouls
That the girls would make
But, gee, what beating
Kossuth did take.
With the game tucked away
In our old knapsack,
We made for the truck
| To try to get back
To catch the Dude
At half past two,
But missed the thing
| By the minutes few.
The joy Of the crowd
Yrs replaced by gloom,
| And back to the hotel
We went for a room.
Mr.. Nettles' orders
Had been very plain,
You must not miss
That Doodle-bug train"
We hoped by our victory
To appease his wrath,
So he would not be
On the old war path.
So to the hello" station
We went with pain,
And 'phoned Mr.. Nettles
We had won the game.
So the following day
We rolled in home,
To receive at his hands
The plaudit well done.'

ing to unofficial information OBJ
tanned at Roosevelt field.
No confirmation could be obtained
from any OF the British or American
naval officials.
The work Of overhauling and re-
fueling the airship was rushed during
the night and was still in progress
/ this morning The belief prevailed
that if this work were completed
late this afternoon the return flight
might be started at once, provided
weather conditions were favorable.
One officer on duty during the night
admitted the possibility of starting
late today instead of waiting until
an hour before dawn tomorrow, but
said that final decision in this regard
naturally would rest with Major Fl. s..
Scott
More than 5000 men assisted in
aiding the R-34 to effect a landing
yesterday, and they remained on
duty all night, in relays of ESQ.
This system will continue until the
airship departs.
The R-34 completed its landing at
Roosevelt field at a:s3 yesterday
morning, following flight officially
set at $3.50 miles in 1OS hours and IL
minutes. Major Scott estimated, how
ever, that because of the devious
course followed, she covered fully
$500 miles, making her average
speed 291a knots an hour.
The big airship arrived here under
her own power largely through a
lucky shift in the direction Of the
wind She encountered stiff head
winds and an electrical storm over
the Bay OF Fundy late Saturday and
was running short of fuel Major
Scott decided to run for Boston and
asked the United States navy to send
