Yes, Pluvius played the major part of the game; and, due to his untiring efforts, the game ended in a scoreless tie. Our next game was played at home, and our (friendly?) enemies were the gallant men of Findlay. The game almost terminated in a 'mud-slinging party," but by the timely intervention of the officials at critical points in the game it devel- oped into a mere dust-raising in the clinches. The outstanding part of the game came when Larrie Currie placed a drop kick from the forty-yard line, directly over the goal posts. Tuttle's men did their best, but the Findlay boys got the breaks of the game and won by a score of 15-3. History repeated itself at Rio Grande. The high elevation was too much for our boys, accustomed to the "great open spaces." (It we lost to the martial tunes of "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo.") At Xenia we played our Swan Song of the season when Capital Came,Saw,and Conquered. Again it was the little imp named "Fumble" that lost for us in the closing minutes of play and gave Capital a 6-0 victory. According to the sport writers of the Columbus dailies, the Yellow Jackets outplayed Katherman's men in all departments of the game; but, of course, words on paper won't change the score; but just ask a follower of the Orange and Blue which had the best team that day,and see if you don't guess right. So once again our football season has become history. And a history that we are proud to publish. We pass on the muddy pigskin to the future wearers of the Orange and Blue and say to ourselves,"The best is yet to be." Page Seventy-nine
