Again the current turned both south and west,
Out to the great new stadium it swept,
And carried sports and Interscholastic,
But left behind baseball, the first great game,
And for practice work the old field still was kept.
The glamor of its glorious past for old grads
Must ever cling,—the scene of all their sports—
The old battleground,—historic Illinois Field.
