Excerpt from The Rubyiat of a Freshman
Before discarding this subject, will you kindly reach for your checkbook and scribble me a jolly old draft for, say, $200? I will need that amount to complete my football equipment, as the college does not furnish the skis.
Well, governor, I will tell you how I secured a billet on the football team. It was really quite interesting. I was standing in the gym reading The Art of High Diving, by Jess Willard, with an introduction by Bombardier Wells, the An nette Kellerman of the prize ring, when our genial and well liked coach came over and made me the cynosure of both his eyes.
