over with II men, most OF whom he tried

about getting into the game for busi.
ness, which was probably due to tn,
fact that it was the first team it ha.
tackled this fall However, IN the last
half Of the game Goddard's timdity wore
off and the players put up OH even game
against their opponents,

ing them with old-fashioned line drives

other weakness in tackling, all Of their
