For George Brooke. head coach at

from side lines will work no hard

and thereby hangs tale.
Swarthmore was playing Columbia
In New York and the game was close.
The Quakers were on the 20-yard line,
last down and three yards to gain,
when Willie Crowell gave the signal
for a line plunge. Brooke heard IL,
took on his hat, stepped on IL, waved
his arms and, when he found II did
no good, shouted In despair: Hey,
Williei For heavens sake try a drop

In which many things were discussed.
willard admits that In his previous
fights he has not been 90 aggressive

rather unusual explanation. He says
that after the unfortunate Bull

man who forced him to his limit. and
that he has always been afraid to hit
his opponents as hard as he could.

fire that you would never expect from

I'm going to land on him with every
