Blow
Do you remember that familiar
legend about a German baron who
built a castle along the Rhine? Out
side the castle, from tree to tree
and bush to bush, he hung wires,
hoping that when the winds blew,
sweet music would be produced.
He waited long and patiently, but
no music came.
One night a hurricane arose. 1t
tossed the Rhine with unrclcnting
fury The thunder rolled the earth
tremblcd and the winds went mad.
The baron hurried to the door and
peered out at the terrifying scene.
Suddenly he heard music, like the
singing of angels, through the
storm. His harp, strung from tree
to tree, and bush to bush, had come
to life at last The tempest had
given it soul.
That legend goes down to the
mystery of life Often, when trOu-
bic comes in large doses, a mans
true quality stands revealed. 1t

ers did not leek too bad but that a
lot of work was necessary on the

two yards out. The try for point
was no good The Whites then
scored on a wide end run of 30
yards by Toby Colaw. Deckman ran
the ball for the extra point after
touchdown. Toby Colaw intercepted
pass and ran 25 yards for the
Whites second touchdown with Co
law placekicking the extra point.
A wide pass, Glaze to f. Colaw
scored for the Reds with the place
ment being no good. A pass from
7. Colaw to Garrett was good for
25 yards and a White touchdown
with Colaw kicking the placement.
Then Deckman passed wide to
Garrett for another White touch
down with Colaw kicking the place
ment The Reds came back and
scored again on a pass from Fred
Colaw to Glaze hut the kick after
the touchdown was no good.
