Classic Poem

Of the A. A. G. at Princeton,
A famous football star,
Once coached for " Pitt " and " N. C., "
Before the Great World War;
Then went to train at Niagara —
To memorize wasn't hard,
He read eye-tests as he heard them,
But the tester turned the card.

Undismayed, Joe still persisted —
Got a doctor to pass him on;
Corporal, sergeant, lieutenant —
Commanding a gun at Argonne —
He fought with the " Fighting Devils "
Who broke the Hindenburg Line —
And died as he lived — a fighter —
For all that's great and fine.
