They thrust the enfranchised African from their public tables born beneath their own skies, a native of their own soil, a free citizen by their own Declaration of Independence; yet exclaim, in the face of this black injustice "Our people enjoy equal rights." Alas! for Columbia's sable sons! Where is their equality? On what footing do they stand with their white brethren?
Big Hastings ran forward, glancing sharply about to see that his men were on the alert, and the next moment his shoe made a great dent in the side of the new yellow ball. Away it sailed into the air, far over toward Columbia's territory. Straight toward Lanky Wallace, the plucky little quarter-back, it came, and Wallace was right under it.
"Aye! keep it for this mighty West Till truth shall glorious be, And good old Samuel's is confest Columbia's primal see. 'Tis better than a diadem, The crown that Bishop wore, Whose hand the rod of Jesse's stem The farthest westward bore!" The Rev. Dr.
It was in my own home town, and I had to stand for a lot of good natured kidding, but those who were there will remember how scared the Yale coaches got during the last part of the game, when Columbia made terrific advances.
