Intrams Overall Champ

even if its yellowing years in the slowly settling dust have dimmed much of its previous, glorious lustre, which, in times olden, must have been golden, still like a proud monarch standing akimbo, it haughtily proclaims to the noonday sun that it still is the much coveted prize, the blinding obsession for which the young, hot-blooded multitude caught in the hysteria of campus contests fought and cheated, booed and cheered, shrieked and wept, won and lost; now quietly it leans on a heap of rubbish in the rubble of the old gym - - the 5-foot "Overall Champion" trophy, a relic of a sports season long forgotten.
