from two other Greek words, one

the full meaning of safe delivernnce

FIGHT ON LAMBERTvILLEr'

1t behooves every one of us to
keep the phrase, Eight on, Lam
bertville!" in mind during our flu
ture football games. We must not
however only keep it in mind. Put
it to practical use. A great deal
more fight is needed in our cheer
ing section and on the gridiron If
the Steel and Blue is to remain tri-
umphantly at the top of the list.
Up to the present date, only one
defeat has been handed us. The
ease in which the Varsity has roll
ed up points, however, has had a
marked effect on the spirit in the
cheering section.
When the referees whistle an
nounces the beginning of our next
battle, let us remember we are now
facing the acid test. A victory will
enable us to stick longer at the
top of the list, while defeat will
wreck the hope of the Varsity.
Can we win the fight with
cheers? Perhaps not, but we can
spur on the team and show Flem-
ington Lambertville's spirit Prove
to them that we are real sports;
supporting our team and upholding
that for which Lambertville is well
known; clean fighting and splendid
spirit.
