through near the ground In such way
that they still stood, though u slight
pull would bring them down. He re-
moved every evidence OF the work and
fastened ropes TO the tops OF the trees
and concealed more than twelve hun

athletic conscience was not SO tender
as at present. On her team were grad.

imported tons o men" finally played
at Springfield.
Among the surreptitiOusly acquired
material was one true.hearted son OF
old Erin, over six feet tall, and re.
nowned as q pugilist. His physique
was excellent, but somehow he never
seemed to get into the plays. Nor was
he deficient in courage. The coachers
could not understand It until one day
he was given the ball to run with.
Then some rusher tackled him hard,
and In q minute the former pugilist
had dropped the bali and was going ut
the tackler hammer and tongs.
"Here, you" shouted the coachers.
What are you doing there? Play
football
And between the cracks OF the blows
came back the answer:
"Oh, 90 to the divil, an lave mo do
