...game had mainly been scheduled because Geneva's coach was the same popular "Bo" McMillan who had first led Centre College to immortal fame in the Stadium five years before. It was true that the Crimson's new coach Arnold Horween had expected a fierce battle, but he never actually considered the Crimson could lose. Then because of Geneva's small size, the only explanation of the loss that could be offered was the rather logical confession in the following issue of the Alumni Bulletin...
...sunny morning in Reno, Barbara Jievute Paulekiute Sears ("Bo-bo") Rockefeller, excitedly chomping gum and convoyed by nine lawyers (only seven hers), two bankers and a pressagent, walked into a judge's chambers.

Then entire populations, including stiff-jointed ancients and bare-bottomed small fry, join in the Ra Ra processions that snake out into the countryside, laughing and joking and singing creole chants to the accompaniment of throbbing tambours and booming vaccines (huge bamboo pipes that give off hollow, resonant notes when blown). Waving clubs, machetes and old colonial swords, they thrash through the ravines and cane-brakes, and if by chance they first...
