Sports Slants
Hi there, fellow thrill seekers! Well, here I am again with a fantastic new idea which will allow Maine West to win State championships as easily as the M-Club loses basketball games.
First, we'll choose a relatively unheralded sport to master, something nice and easy like 43-man squamish. Now we start a crash program of athletic training for our freshmen and Class of '72.
After we're ready, we'll let the secret leak out to our archrival Maine South. They will in turn let out the news to the other schools, and all of them will start their own training programs. Of course, we'll challenge them all to a State
Of course, there will have to be a few changes in the rules of the game. Instead of the right outside grouch yelling that wise old Chilean proverb: "Mi es infermo, pero la carretero es verde," which starts the game and means "My uncle is sick, but the highway is green," I'd change the proverb. He should yell a wise old Polish proverb to start the game, something like "Di-mee boosh ala kolacha zasx," which means: "My uncle is green, and the highway is sick!"
Any comments or criticisms about my idea? Drop me a line.
