If dreams come true-they some
y sometimes do
Then what's to happen to the
Kid?
1t has been told, this battler bold
Once dreamed of the things he
did.
While in a fight, hard-swung
right
Was placed between his eyes.
The Kid went down upon the
ground,
And never more did rise.
His soul had fled. since he was
dead,
\ And sought eternal peace.
At Heavens gate, he did not
wait,
To try St. Pete to FLEECE.
The lordly saint fell in a faint,
And loudly begged, for air.
Its down below, they need you
They're waiting for you there"
He went below, and begged to

If there he could remain.

His speech was most profane.
TOO hard, fear, to keep you
here,
In our choice company.
Though we may cook, we ne'evr
o'erlook
Our self respect, you see"
If dreams come true-they some
times do
The Kid is out of luck.
No place to go-above or below
When he has kicked the buck.

made off with, and also the time
Stuffy stewart called the Kids

TObasco Toto's face. There Ii al
ways something doing when
Eberfeld comes to town, hut
these three performances stand
out way above the others.
And now, their year has been
closed out with a three out of
four victory over the Panthers
in their annual baseball series
That left good taste in their
mouths for the entire year.
Coach Cope will leave for Car
tersville, Ga, ut once, to re-
main with his family all summer.
He will return for the football
season next fall, and with him
will probably be Widow" Dob
bins, his assistant in 1928, who
played major part in whipping
the Bulldogs into shape for
their grid battles.
1t was great year for the
Bulldogs, one that will go
long way towards wipng out
the stigma of defeats suffered in
recent years by other Howard
college teams.
