CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE
FireI Firel
The old cow kicked over the
bucket, should be changed to Am
brose and Lloyd blew up the gas
light. Anyway there was not
time In the old barn Monday night
for while. n
Coach certainly proved that he was
capable OF showing up Charley Pad
dock and Enrica Caruso at the same
time.
We also believe coach should be
given a Carnegie Medal Tor bravery
the way he dashed into the Ilames
and rescued an oil can from being
consumed.
Thanks to training in starting in
track Ambrose and Lloyd made
marvellous getaway, but not until
both were on fire. The breeze that
they made however blew the fire out
without burning them severely.
Percy lost his pants in the
scramble and presented a laughaDle
spectacle ii there had been any time
for humor. Percy was obvious OF
this defect however and was having
wonderful time running from one end
OF the barn to the other waving his
arms and hollering.
Dale momentarily remembered MS
football days and executed line
plunge into the hay-door in front OF
the barn. The door held however
against several Of these plunges, SO
Dale tried an end run down the
stairway and down the street at full
speed. However his intentions can
not be questioned so we will excuse
him this time. Moral: Hot ar and
gas mix to form an expense mixture
so be careful.
