a factor in the makeup Of the ST. vincent
team on Thanksgiving day.
Coach Rheinschlld carries on his coaching
a great deal on the TEDDY" Roosevelt order,
and Strenuous would be a good nickname
for this instructor OF tricky plays. Even
while carrying on conversation he is con
tinually chopping of his sentences, TO huri
command like the following: alright now,
make 'em good" or 70 Quarterback OCon~
ner, Face that line now and don't give
that play away"
The recent disaffection among the members
OF the team has now blown over and all
are pulling together.

whether not he will play In Thanksgiving
