He spent a year at odd times in the In

bv the great French general was that
n he could mass a large proportion OF
his troops and throw them against a

Following out this idea, Mr.. Deland
argued TO himself that II he could get
a football team so arranged that the
eleven men should throw their entire
weight. strength, and momentum against
a weak point OF the opposing team
which must be necessarily stationary
detached. and incapable Of using its
full weight in opposition, they would
break through and make ground very
fast. -,
Mr.. Deland then proceeded 10 put THIS
into practice, first on paper and then on
the field. with the result that by tax
