THE Great Western football team
had chosen Thanksgiving day
for the annual struggle with
its hereditary foe. Chicago. An
elaborate banquet was ordered spread
at the Midland hotel after the game
to celebrate fittingly the abolition of
training rations and Ned O'Neal's last
victory, for no one doubted for a mo-
ment that it would be a victory.
O'Neal had played with the Great West-
ern team for four years. Ever since
he bad developed that wonderful little
sidewise kick which looked so inef-
fectual and yet sent the ball spinning
fast and low over
the heads of as-
tonished full-
backs the team
bad never lost a
game.
^Thanksgiving
day dawned cold
and clear, but be-
fore noon an ugly
sleet was falling,
spreading a coat-
ing of ice over
~ everything it
touched. Bad as.
was*bow"
ever, no one
o'neal did not dreamed of post-
LOOK up. poning the game.
Great Western men were proud of their
ability to play in any weather. The
grand, stand and. .bleachers were filled
With students and townspeople half an
hour before the game was called. Fur
wraps and steamer rugs enveloped the
feminine portion of the audience, but
no form of wrapping was allowed-
to concur the streamers of crimson
and azure which floated bravely in the
icy win^s.
As ttie Great Western players trot-
ted out on the field for a little limber-
ing up practice a roar .of deligbt went
.up. . Ned O'Neal; was given, an ovation
which made him flush , through his
heavy coat of tan, while he 'laughed
at the megaphone brigade's cry of
"What's the matter with Broncho
O'Neal? Oh, he can kick!"
All thought; of athe audience was
lost, however, when the opposing
teams lined up in the center of the
field. Great Western won the ball on
the toss afid kicked off. A Chicago
man managed to get under the sphere
and carried it nearly to the center of
the field before be was downed
Chicago then began a series of cen-
ter rushes which were hard to re1
pulse, and it was only on Great West-
ern's five yard line that it lost the
ball on downs. A cheer of relief went
up from the bleachers as O'Neal kick-
ed the ball into Chicago territory.
But when the team attempted to rush
the ball to the goal line they found a
stone wall of Chicago men who soon
gained possession of the ball and be-
gan pushing steadily, relentlessly and,
the girls said, brutally down the field.
Within a yard of Great Western's
goal O'Neal again got the ball. Every
one looked to him to save the day.
Enthusiasts on the bleachers shrieked
advice and caution, handkerchiefs
fluttered from,boxes and graud stand,
and the "rooter king" started the war
song. But the music died away In a
wail of dismay, for O'Neal either mis-
calculated the strength of the keen
wind which swept across the field or
was confused by the peril, for be
kicked wildly, and the ball went out
of bounds on Great Western territory.
Chicago soon rushed it over the line
for a touchdown.
From that moment the silence of bit-
ten foreboding settled over the field.
Twice more before the first half was
over Chicago reached Great Western's
goal.
The cadet band played briskly dur-
ing the intermission. The trainer gaye
the men encouraging suggestions, and
the enthusiasts tried to convince each
other that the boys would wrest victo-
ry from defeat in the second half, but
nothing could really lighten the gloom
which had settled over the field. The
second half was only a stubborn fight
against heavy odds. Again and again
O'Neal tried to kick the ball into safe-
ty. but the storm, now increasing air
most to a blizzard, confused him, aid
the last quarter of an hour was spent
by tl^e Great Western enthusiasts in
longing for time to be called and the
score to be left as small as possible.
But Chicago made good use of the lag-
ging minutes. The
score board read
"16—0," then was
"20—0," and Just
as the whistle
sounded the boy
slipped out the
figures "24—0."
The great audi-
ence melted away
as if by magic.
Students slunk
down the back
streets to avoid
seeing the little
band of Chlcago-
a n s zigzagging
down the main
thoroughfare
bearing the captain of their team on
their shoulders. The defeated team re-
mained in the dressing booth until
every one was well out of the way.
No one could talk, but more than one
husky lad sniffed audibly when Ned
CARESSING NED'S
PICTURE.
LUCIA ADDRESSING
THE GIBLS.
O'Neal buried his head in his bunds
and cried like a child A sadder lot of
boys never sought the unfrequented
paths across the campus. They felt as
if disgrace, black, awful, unending,
had fallen upon them.
But the bitterness in the hearts of
all the others could not equal that
which surged in the breast of Ned
O'Neal. The others could have anoth-
er chance, he thought, but be must go
out of college blamed for the most
sweeping defeat the team had ever
met' and with no chance to show be
could still play football. What woulds
Lucia think? He had tried so hard of
late to make Lucia Hancock care for
his triumphs and successes and most
of all for him
self. Now she
would be glad no
doubt that she
had never shown
any regard for
him, a failure.
He had met a
number of peo-
ple during his
short, lonely
walk, but no one*
had spoken, to
him, and some
had even turned
away, appearing
not to see him. So
it is not strange,
he did not look up as a tall girl walked
rapidly toward him across the campus.
Her tfand was outstretched, but at
sight of his face she dropped it. and
a little sob caught her breath as she
passed hurriedly up the steps of la-
dies' hall. Once in her own room a
storm of tears relieved Lucia's feel-
ings and enabled her to see what
seemed to have escaped every one's
vision at the time—that it was only a
game that was lost, aftet all.
f"Dear boy!" she exclaimed impul-
sively, caressing Ned's picture, which
stood on her dresser. "He must not
be left to suffer alone." Then a sec-
ond thought came to her. "They must
all be suffering."
thought meant action with Lucia,
and soon two devoted freshmen were
speeding over the hall tapping on
every door with the summons, "Meet
in the gym at once." Other petticoated
couriers gathered in the girls from the
neighboring fraternity houses, and the
gymnasium was filled with restless,
wondering groups wben Lucia march-
ed in, clad in a crimson lounging robe
girt with an azure sash and holding
under her arm a miniature football
which had once contained bonbons.
She walked calmly to the platform.
"Qirls," she said, waving her hand
toward the athletic quarters, "those
boys, the team, are over there alone,
crying—crying, do you hear, with
shame and humiliation. The boys have
left them without as much as a band-
Shake. People have passed them on
the street as if they had' the plague.,
They are our boys, our team. Who have
won every game for three years. Re-
member how they wiped up the field
with Chicago only a year ago; how they
have beaten Minnesota three times.
Remember how they went east and
tied Cornell and showed the eastern
teams we could play football out here.
We know, too, that they have never
played an unfair game, that they have
denied themselves luxuries and amuse
ments and have practiced hard to be a
credit to Great Western. What right
have we, who never helped to win their
victories, to draw bfcck and blame them
for their failure? It is a shame to all
of us, I tell you, to let them suffer
there alone!"
A rousing cheer greeted the conclu-
sion of her speech, and little Nell
Husted jumped on the piano stool to
make her voice heard among the babel
of approving tongues as she cried. "I
move we send the boys some flowers
and let 'em know we like 'em still!"
Nell seized the football and started
around the room. Dollars and half
dollars rattled together until she pour-
ed the glittering heap of silver into
Lucia's lap, saying, "Get 'em, the
beauties, Lucia, and send a note."
As the members of the team sal
gloomily in the hall of the athletic
quarters trying to talk, and only spas-
modically succeeding, the roses were
brought in, a great, fragrant armful,
tied with an azure sash.
A card bore the inscription, "With
cordial good wishes from the Great
Western girls, who have admired the
team in its victories and still admire
it in its first defeat."
There was a moment of strained si-
lence, while each boy tried not to
show all he felt. Then O'Neal leaped
to his feet, and the way they all
Joined in bis cheer for "Our girls!
They're trumps?* plainly showed that
the first bitterness of failure had
passed.
There was a note for O'Neal, just a
few lines from Lucia, in which she
wrote, "Make the boys eat their
Thanksgiving dinner, Ned, then come
see me, please."
The old time ring was in Ned's
voice as he turned to the boys, saying:
"We'll have the dinner brought over
here and keep Thanksgiving, after all.
Let's have it now, for I have an en-
gagement this evening."
The boys could even laugh as some
one said, "Make it for life if you can,
old fellow."
"1 will," said Ned humbly.
Misplaced Sympathy.
You think of the turkey
Perhaps with a sigh. •
"Poor fellow!" you ponder.
"So soon will he die!"
But think for a minute
Before he is dead
How many poor fellows
Will doubtless be wed.
And well ere the end of
The turkey begins
There's many a man who win
Doubtless have twins.
Bo waste not your pity.
For If he but knew
The turkey might be just as
Thankful as you.
