THE TRUTH WILL OUTLewis Bain of Bey© Tells How a Cars* fully Worked Out Alibi Failed toConvince Anybody tMy friend and I left the “Y” with downcast faces. The basketball game had been lost by a score of 20 to 0 and we now had the job of making fitting alibis.“Well, anyway, we held them to four to nothing in the first half,” I said.“Yes, and they got the other points because we didn’t have any subs,” he added, “and we were tired out to start the second half.”“I think the umpire was unfair .in some of his decisions too,” I complained. (This is a criticism com* mon to losers).“Gee, that one fellow on their team was six feet tall easily and all the rest were much bigger,” my companion grumbled.“I have it,” I said after a long pause, “We’ll Btart out to tell about how big the opposing team was, then—”“We’ll go oil to say how nobly we held them in the first half,” he broke in. “Of course we’ll remark about the umpire’s unfairness—”“And we will continue by saying that we were all tired ont to start the second half and we had no substitutes, so we heroically went on the floor; our opponents with a freshteam and then—” I said in a loudtone.“We’ll meekly finish with the finalscore ?” he shouted. “Boy that’s perfect.”With that we headed for our respective homes, chuckling and smiling to ourselves. I don’t know how my friend eame out but I know my parents got the truth from me before I had finished the first line of our so grandly mapped out alibi—Lewis Bain,8A—William Beye.
