not many weeks ago, and there were
but few men In the company who had
ever had football in their hands.

The team was not coached by an Off
Ger; the men built the team up them
selves, and to Gabourel, Weatherly,
Scott and Thomas rests the credit for
developing a fast and powerful aggre-
CATION that has seldom tasted defeat.
