THE SQUIRRELS THANKSGIVING

o Thou who madest the enarled old oak
And set the saucered acorns there
And touched the grapes with tints of smok
such as the autumn clusters wear:
And opens wide the thorny burr
With strong white fingers of the frost
And thiekens all my coat of fur
Each thread a thing of silk and glOssI
Thou who dwellest in the grove
And shakes the branches with Thy gale.
And seatters in the leafy cove
Brown ehestnuts thick summer hail;
And bends the stately pine-tree down
With pendant cones of green and gray,
And scatters for the milk-weed down
On winds that in the autumn play:
Thou. who draws Thy hand across
The naughty rivers of the earth
And stills their flowing meath the floss
OF winter snow and chill and dearth;
And wakes again to bud and bloom
The spangled branch and meadow herbl
Thou art with me in the gloom
OF followed boughs where none disturb;
Thou art in the thistle sheen
That wraps my curled gray form about.
And Thou are in the warmth l ween
That shuts the Zeroed chill without:
And Thou art in the shag-bark's shell
That have gathered for my store:
The beech-nuts from the mountain dell
And spicy buds outside my doorI
D Thou. so kind to all Thous'st made
In earth and billOwed cloud and sea,
] come all fran but unafraid
And give my humble thanks to Theei

Jacob Gross, a Hays boy, won him
self niche in the Bradley Polytech-
mic Institute Hall of Fame, recently,
when he ran seventy yards for a
touchdown in the last three minutes
of play in the hardest battle the Tech
football team has had this fall. The
run was all the more remarkable in
view of the fact that the field was q
sea of mud, the greater part Of the
game being played in a driving snow
storm.
The game was played in Peoria, Hi
nois, the location of Bradley Institute,
before a crowd of between four and
five thousand people who had gather
ed for the Institute Home omiCng
Day. The Augustana team was tout
ed as one of the strongest in the
state, but the Tech eleven beat them
by a 1870 score. The other touch
down was made possible by Gross
when he ran forty yards in the first
five minutes of play and put the ball
on the Augustana one foot line.
A. ]. Robertson, tn Tech coach, was
formerly coach at Hays Normal. His
team at Bradley this fall is attracting
wide attention. He began the season
with only two letter men and will

in another way: the same eleven men
have played the two hardest games
on the Tech schedule on two success
sive Saturdays without a single sub
stitution.
Gross is pledged to the Beta Sigma
