A lad sixteen years old with n broken

many young men in training, when
they might otherwise have been care
less in building up physical reserve

doctor say that he'd far rather have
his son out on the football field-broken
bones and all-than to have him spend

or connected with the sport are getting
in trim for the big games. A few games
have already been played. just enough
