The Once Over
H UNSUNG HERO
BY H L PHILLIPS

1880, by The Associated N.wspapers)
When the pop-eyed crowds are roaring,
And the pigskin heroes clash.
And the boys, hell bent for scoring.
Let their heads and bodies crash,
Who's the fellow out there taking
Punishment SO carelessly,
And who's every bone is %aching?-
It's the football referee
When the punts afar 90 bounding,
Who must chase EN-. one and all?
When the scrimmage lines are pounding,
Who must dig and get the ball?
When the pigskin then is fumbled,
Who must drive in fearlessly
And beneath the pack be huddled?
Why, the football referee.
When a penalty IS posted,
Who's the guy put ION the spot?
Who's the fellow who gets roasted
In a case when 1t is not?
Who's the wonder man expected
Each and every play to see?
(Who by both sides is suspectedD
Why. the football referee.
"AiO las veal hAAAS AAANA hAAANhNAo
When the fields a sea of mud
And endure the laughs and smokers
When he slips with quite a thud?
Who gets nothing but derision
When he's tossed upon his ear?
Who gets panned for each decision?
It's the referee, old dear.
Who must stay in there and take ii
Till the final whistles blown.
And when feeling groggy. shake it
And emit no squawk or groan?
Who no substitute may call for
Though he's fading rapidly.
And no rest may ever stall for?-
Mister Football Refereei
Who discovers very early
In the game that he is far
From the youngster, young. strong and burly,
That he once was. when a star?
Who discovers that his bellows
Aren't what they used to be
And that age has got him. fellows?
Why. the football referee.
Who hears no one sing his praises
And just never takes a bow.
Though III footballs hottest phases
He gets smacked about-and how
When the stirring contests ended,
Who's the guy who YEARLY
Leaves uncheered and unattended?
It's the football referee.
When the players take to heaving
Forward passes all about.
Who gets exercise most %grieving
To a man who's somewhat stout?
Who appears to be so weary
He would like 10 climb a tree?
Whose dogs burn and pain him, dearie?
Just the football referee!
Who's supposed to know what's doing
Each split second Of the game?
Who supposed to take the booing
And know nothing Of acclaim?
Who's supposed to keep quite cool. boys.
And in each emergency
Know the LATEST FOOTBALL RULE. boys?
Why. that "goat'-the referee.
