Az REVOTR
There is silence in our valley
And a sort of sorrow, too,
For we hear no welcome whistle
And it makes us rather blue.
Our railroads gone forever
The last run has been made
No more we hear the cheerful
puff
Of trains on Freeland grade.
Never again on Circus Day
win loaded platforms greet
A double-header, westward
bound,
With not a vacant seat
And somehow with its going
One feels old and out of place
Like the earth was turning too
fast
And we could not keep the
pace.
1t was the chiefest pleasure
Our schooltime joys had
known
And now as it goes from us
We think how Time has flown.
Six trains it boasted daily
And every mothers son
Knew each engine by it's whistle
Long before he saw it come.
With important voice and
manner
Every boy would try to say
If was Dick, "Milt', or
Barney"
Held the throttle there today.
And the greatest names in
history
Sounded duly in our ears
Why We thought them merely
pikers
| Beside those engineers.
The firemen and the brakemen,
too
Though in a lesser way
Were hailed superior beings
there
In boyhood's joyous day.
| You could watch for her and
! "Cleveland'
For he ran her like a clock,
| And the rails were mighty icy
If they were not on the dot.
| You remember once at Fair Time
| When both their engines died
How they made the run with IL
When she was in her pride?
How she coupled on and started
And tried it with will
And walked eight loaded coaches
Right over Tunnel Hill?
And later on in IS
That unluckiest of years
When they got the flooded
trestles
Back at last upon the piers.
And we saw old Number 1p'
Poke her nose around the bend
Then things looked brighter
somehow
And our trouble seemed to
end.
But the railroads have their
troubles
| Just as we do everyday
| They come and go in general
| But sometimes they come and
stay.
Now then-shame upon us
| Comes the touring car and
truck
Puts our railroads out of
business
Out of money and of luck.
Long they've hauled the empty
coaches,
Vacant platforms everywhere,
Save perhaps some lowly milk
can
Not passenger is there.
Now we stand before the station
And we watch "Old II" go,
AS she toots a farewell message
1t is given us to know.
That no more we'll hear the
4 whistle,
That her day is at an end,
Yet we feel a sort of sadness
! Like parting with a friend.
Thus we stand and watch the
smoke -wreaths
AS they drift and fade away,
She is gone, but not forgotten,
Is the best that we can say.
Vernon st. Clair.

Terps to Face 3 TitIe-Winners
In Ring Opener With Syracuse
By Dick Slox

The University Of Maryland
doesn't have to wait long to dis
cover how tough its boxing team
will be for the 1854 season. The
Terps entertain Syracuse at
Ritchie Coliseum Saturday night
! and. Maryland Coach Frank
Cronin claims the Orange is just
as good as when it won the East
ern intercollegiate championship
last March.
II don't know their starting
lineup yet" Cronin said yester-
day, but saw their coach, Roy
Simmons, in New York recently
and he told me that he had six
of his eight regulars back from
last year-and three Of those
have won Eastern champion
ships"
Loses One Champion.
Syracuse lost one Eastern
titlist by graduation. Bill Miller
won the 155-pound championship
in 1851 and 1853 and was
runner-up for the National title
in 1852, and Cronin is relieved
that this rough-house battler
will be absent Saturday. But
the Orange still has Johnny
Granger and Vince Rigolossi,
who won Eastern crowns last
year, and Art Nelson. an Eastern
champion from 1852.
Jackie Letter. a Maryland CO.
captain last season. won two de-
cisions from Nelson in 1853 and
then the Syracuse 132-pounder
got careless and missed out on
the Eastern championship when
he couldn't make the weight
after winning his opening -round
fight in the tournament.
Cronin describes Nelson as
both smooth boxer and a hard
puncher. Since he had trouble
making the 132-pound limit last
season. Nelson may try the 139-
pound class this year.
Rigolossi, 165-pounder. comes
from a boxing family. An older
brother was a Syracuse cham
pion. and he has a younger
brother who is a standout on
the freshman team.
Ronnie Rhodes, one OF the
Terps' three co-captains for
1854. beat Rigolossi in the semi
finals Of the Southern intercol-
legiate tournament two years

stance. makes an excellent bar
gaining point when contract
time comes around.
Another laurel is the George
Halas Trophy, named for the
famed Chicago Bear coach and
awarded to the player voted the
games outstanding player by
football writers covering the con-
test.
The three past winners were
Graham. Fullback Dan fowler
Of the Los Angeles Rams, and
Don Doll. defensive halfback, of
the Washington Redskins, who
won the award while performing
last year for Detroit.
The 1854 renewal continues
the coaching rivalry between
Buddy Parker of the Lions and
Paul Brown Of the Cleveland
Browns. The Cleveland master
has lost six games and tied one
with Parker. the most recent loss
being in the title game at Detroit.
