In the history of Geneva College, two people have gained legitimate recognition on the national
stage of athletics. And no we aren’t talking about NCCCCC(CC)AA All-Americans. We’re
talking about the pro’s. The first is Cal Hubbard and the second is Joe Namath, and he didn’t
even wear a Geneva uniform. Wait, who was that first guy? If you don’t know, Google him or go
down to Metheny Fieldhouse and open your eyes. Now, I know you are still recovering from that
first epiphany, but I must alert you to another. Put the controller down, close the bag of chips,
and run down to Old Main and check out the plaque on the rock in the garden facing the Student
Center. I’ll time you.
Welcome back. Somewhere beneath that earthen mass lies the Geneva Time Capsule, and
somewhere inside that time capsule are treasures unknown. Rumors have been flying around
for years about the contents of the time capsule. Senior student Micah Yarger stated, “What’s
the time capsule?” while Freshman Matt Moore, “shied from the camera upon questioning”.
Clearly, its been a hot-button issue. However, in recent weeks rumors of an entirely different
magnitude have been brought to the surface. According to our inside sources, an unnamed
Brigadoon worker found an anonymous tip on a napkin sometime last week stating the
possibility of Cal Hubbard’s cremated remains being sealed in the capsule. Upon further
investigation, our reporters spoke to the coroner involved in the autopsy. “Yeah....we kind of just
lost track of that body. Things were a lot different down there in the 70’s”, senior coroner Isaac
Milford stated in an interview.
So, let’s lay out the facts.
1. Geneva has a time capsule
2. Cal Hubbard’s body was potentially never officially cremated
3. President Smith has a Cal Hubbard jersey in his closet
Now, without much of an investigative background, even a novice Clue player can connect Mrs.
Peacock with the crowbar in the kitchen on this one. Is there a legitimate possibility that the time
capsule contains more than just a few twinkies? Is there really meat to this argument that the
legend, Cal Hubbard, could be buried in the garden of Old Main?
In response to this investigation, Beaver Falls police have ordered an excavation of the site.
The capsule will be unearthed during Spring Break and the mystery hopefully resolved. Joe
Namath stated in response to the allegations, “Hey, if it’s true that would be pretty gnarly.
Hopefully, there’s room for two in their once my clock expires.” If rumor turns to reality, Geneva
could be the birthplace of college basketball and the final resting place of double hall-of-famer
Cal “One-Eye” Hubbard.
