iare now down to real. hard work at
practice and work to keep away from
hurtful eating.

and the boys received some bruises
and hard knocks before it was over.
The tackling dummy has been
given another round. Each man has

while going at full speed. and If any
player looks like he is afraid of the

he does not lessen his speed. There
