Delta Sigma Number
County Championship Game
Thurmont vs Brunswick

On Tuesday our soccer team, winner
in the Eastern Division, met the
Brunswick soccer team at Cadet Field
in Frederick and lost a hard fought
and very exciting game to the winners
of the Western Division. This game
decided who should be county cham
pions. AS Brunswick proved too
strong for Thurmont, the railroaders
won the game. Rouzer, Joy and Da-
muth starred for Thurmont; Rice and
Smith played best for Brunswick. The
game was witnessed by large crowd.
During the game many yells We're
heard from both sides of the field.
A protest has been entered against
referee j. Morieta because of some of
his decisions. He called a foul on
Brunswick in the penalty area and had
placed the ball for the penalty kick,
Immediately the Brunswick captain
came forward, told the referee the ball
had not hit any ones hands and the
referee reversed his decision and gave
Brunswick free kick down the field.
Such work is entirely irregular and the
protest had to be made which calls for
an investigation.

Thurmont Defeats Emmitsburg

On Thursday, November 9, the EN-
mitsburg High School Soccer team
journeyed to Thurmont fully deter
mined to win the game in any way
possible, because they realized that
this was their last chance for the pen
nant. AS it was later proved, they
were unable to carry out their plans,
simply because our team was more
experienced, and knew how to handle
the ball to better advantage.
The game was well played and free
from roughness. At the end of the
first half we had scored only one goal.
During the second half, however, we
came back with a vengeance, and be-
fore the final call, had added five more
to our list.
The winning of this game gave us
the pennant in the Eastern division of
this county, and also a game with
Brunswick, winner in the Western
League.

Thurmont-New Market Soccer Gam

AAAssA AAAOAss 1'AoAACt AooSSSA
For the sixth time did Thurmont's
air-tight eleven bring home that old
cry, victory. The game between
New Market and Thurmont on last
Thursday was played about as clean
as could be expected.
Even though the game wasn't as
exciting as the Brunswick-Thurmon
game, it turned out to be somewhat
interesting. On the whole both teams
played well, but our team outclassed
them when it came to goal kicking.
AS you may have heard, our fullbacks
and goal keeper came well nigh going
to sleep-simply because the oppo-
nents were unable to get the ball in
our territory for any length of time.
This shows that our good coaches,
{ Mr.. Burdette and Mr.. Huffman, have
been on the job developing the skill
of our players.
This game clinched the Champion
ship for T. III. S. in the Eastern
League.

FAMOUS As ANIMALS FRIEND
lrishman Father Of Law Which
Aimed to Put a Stop to Their
III Treatment.

Richard Martin introduced into the
British parliament in 1922 an act pro-
viding punishment for the ill treat
ment Of CATTLE" and by the force of
his personality forced its passage as
q law.
Humanity" Martin, 30 named by
King George Nv because Of his intro
duction and support of the law, was
an Irish nobleman with immense
estates In Galway.
Less than a year after Martins
death at Boulogne, France, in 1884,
his original act was amended, and bull
and bear batting and cock fighting
were prohibited throughout the Brit
ish isles.
Two years after the passage Of the
act Martin organized the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals,
Queen Victoria later giving her ap-
prevail to the addition Of the word
Royal to the title. From this So
ciety originated the American Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails.

Beware of Kicking

There is no use in kickin'
When marks don't come your way.
It does no good to NOPE around
And grumble night and day.
The thing to do is drown your grief,
Cut out the little whine,
And when they ask you how you are,
Just say, 'I'm feelin' fine"
There no man alive but who
Is bound to get slap,
There is no one that lives but who
. From sorrow gets rap;
Go mingle with the ones who won,
Where all the high lights shine,
And when they ask you how you are,
Just say, "I'm feelin' fine"
Your heart may just be Dustin with
Some real or awful woe,
But you just smile and the other folks
Aren't really apt to know.
The world just laughs at heartaches
Be they yours or mine,
So when they ask you how you are,
Just say, am feelin' fine"

With Apologies to Edgar A. Poe's
Raven
Once upon a midnight dreary while I
pondered weak and weary
Ger the work imposed upon me by our
Megaphone staff;
While my brain was getting lazy, and
my thoughts were growing hazy,
And my jokes, they were so crazy they
could never make you laugh;
ooh! good nightw was what I mutter-
ed, eff l could only give them bluff
Bluff, oh! bluff would be the stuff.
All! distinctly ! remember it was in
the bleak November,
And the cold put on damper to my
thoughts and made me daft;
Eagerly I wished the morrow, from
some fool book could borrow,
Or could joke about the weather, oh!
anything that might graft,
Which from Megaphone readers might
produce a little laugh, just little
laugh.

Opportunity

The rain was falling in torrents
and darkness reigned supreme except
for a few pale lights here and there.
The streets were practically deserted
though once in while man with
hat turned down and collar turned
up would be seen sinking along the
streets, presently to disappear. This
was the underworld where dwelt for
eigners, ,fugitives from justice, gamb-
lers, and thieves. These men on .the
whole have hard, cruel faces; but
there under the street lamps stands
one whose countenance has not as yet
been hardened by association with
crime.
We see young man, in fact, boy.
He is big, but his broad shoulders
have a slight tendency to SLOUGH. His
face hasn't as yet the scowl that one
sees on the faces of most of the habit
ues. He seems thoughtful, sometimes
bitter, sometimes sad and wistful.
Of what is he thinking? Perhaps
of his childhood or his boyhood or
maybe of his mother who had so ten
derby watched over him during the
early years of his life. But she had
died and his father, so engrossed in
his business affairs, had merely sup
piled him with plenty of money and
left him go his way. First came
gambling, then debts, and finally forg-
ing. His father had paid the fine and
then disinherited him. It was not too
late, even though he had wasted his
time to prove himself a man. He had
been saved from Jail and then was the
chance for him. to redeem himself.
But he failed to grasp the oppor-
tunity and entered his former haunts
where without money he was no longer
welcome. He sank lower and lower
until he became what we see standing
beneath the street lamp. However,
the opportunity hasn't passed and he
has yet chance. Will he make good,
prove himself a man, or will he keep
sinking until at last the penitentiary
claims him?

Thanksgiving

Every one knows the story of the
first Thanksgiving, when our Pilgrim
Fathers and the Indians celebrated
the first Thanksgiving. The people
were very happy that day after their
hard struggles against many and dis
couraging reverses which they had
met since their landing on the rock
bound shores of New England. They
had looked sickness and death in the
face during the long winter. How
ever, God had given them plentiful
harvest and therefore they decided to
set apart a day on which to render
thanks to God for their beautiful crops
The white men and red men hunted
wild turkey and other wild fowls,
while the women prepared the things
for the feast.
From that first Thanksgiving to the
time of the administration of Lincoln,
1864, the governors of the states set
apart a day near the last of November
as a day of general Thanksgiving.
Lincoln, however, conceived the idea of
having National rejoicing on the last
Thursday of November.
Should not everyone on our Thanks
giving Day think of "those brave and
noble Pilgrims who crossed the stormy
sea-" Let US all remember, when
Thanksgiving time draws near, oul
brave and. sturdy forefathers who
were the founders of our beloved
free country.

Emmitsburg Again Defeated

On Thursday, November 9, 1922,
Emmitsburg was again defeated by
Thurmont with the score 26-14.
The game was won by hard play
ing, for at the end of the first half
the score was 100 in faver of EN-
mitsburg. In the second half, how
ever, they were only allowed to score
five points, while we scored seven
teen.
Though we played hard, much of
our victory may be attributed to the
cheering of our boys and girls. Their
incessant yelling ratified our neigh
bors so much that they lost their wits,
their position and the game.

Volley Team Champions of County.
Win With Score 15-11

WIN, Win SSOIe 1O-AA
Tuesdays game was one of the big
gest and most important played dur
ing the athletic season. Thurmont
won the championship of the East
ern Divson and Middletown the West
ern Division. In order to find out
who would be the champions of the
county, it was necessary to play with
Middletown, the champions Of the
Western League, at Frederick, which
was neutral grounds.
Middletown came on the field with
the idea that they. were going to win,
in fact they thought they were going
to have an easy job, but we fooled
'em. When the first half was up,
the score was e. in favor of Thur
mont. This made Middletown angry
as usual, so they began to work up a
little. However, Thurmont was too
much for Middletown. When the
time was up, and we crowded around
the score-keeper we found that the
score was 1911 in favor of Thur
mont.
The girls then gave their Wa-Hoo
yell, Joined in by many other Thur
mont people.
This makes the second year the Vol
ley Ball team has won the county
championship But this year we are
going to do more-we are going to
win the State Championship.

Kathryn Webster, Dorothea White,
