Fnllback Who WoulMf Fight.
Story of a Boy WhO Vas Too Good-NatDred

aged to escape with 1918 victory. Tony
Lon1sd was terribly missed, particularly on
backing up the line on defense. And with the
two halves, Fearing and Jones, doing all Of the
BAH carrying, they tired before the game was
over and slowed down.
FREDDY fairly fought to get Buffalo into the
spirit Of the fray. Time after time he gave
him the ball. Now and then Buffalo fumbled
it. Occasionally he smashed into the line, but
when the opposing tackles grabbed him he
stopped. He just would not take the game
seriously, and when the coach took him to task
between halves he just grtnned in bewildered
way and said, Gee gosh what's al the fuss
ebCut? We're all having good time, aren't
We And those New Hartford boys are real nice
fellows"
That was almost too much for the coach
After the game he told Freddy that he was
going to give up, and put in one Of the other
substitutes to train him for the Elm Park game
But, coach, all Buffalo needs is to get mad"
protested Freddy. Hes really not doing so
bad otherwise. He's fast for a big man, and
when he hits you, even easy, you know you've
been hit. Can't we try little 1onger?"
The coach finally agreed. but he said that
he would groom Riley for one of the halfback
jobs, and play Jones at fun part of the time
In practice. And that was the lineup that
would start the Elm Park game unless Buffalo
showed surprising improvement.
But Freddy felt that Buffalo was In a way
his responsibility, and he never missed an op-
portunity to try to drive some foot bali sense
into the big boy He kept at him eternally on
the field and also in the evenings. Freddy had
kept his promise and was helping Buffalo with
his lessons. This had been necessary to over
come the prejudice of Buflalo's father against
all such foolish things as games
60 in the evenings after they had wrestled
with Latin verbs or geometricaI proofs
Freddy would diagram various plays with a
pencil and paper, showing Buffalo just where
he ought to be and why. Freddy talked foot
ball to the boy constantly, trying to get the
spirit of the game into his blood.
And as the day Of the big Elm Park game
approached there could be no doubt that Buff
falo was improving. Coach Lowering was suf-
hciently convinced that he allowed him to play
at fullback through part of each practice And
Buffalo showed up fairly well, except for the
fact that he simply would not take the game
in deadly earnest, did the other players
And because he would not, he usually was
playing with about half his strength.
Freddy grew desperate. He decided to try
anything to make the big fullback angry. And

personally direct the big boy, either Freddy or
one Of the halfbacks drilled him endlessly in
the technique of holding the ball, tackling,
charging and blocking
10 make 1t harder, Buffalo was 80 good
xatured that he could not take this business
seriously. He would run and fall on the ball,
let It 60 trickling out OF his grasp. and then
get to his feet with foolish grin.
Gee gosh" he would say. That darn thing
Is as slippery as a creased pig"
Or he would be given the bah and told 70

to tackle him. The idea was for Buffalo to
evade Freddy, but instead the big boy would
charge SbFalgnb at fTe0oy Will NAuc Shialic
on his face, and then as Freddy was about to
grab him he would slow down-so that Freddy
would not get hurt. as he explained
COACH LOWERING raved and tore his hair,
and the other players did everything to try
to make Buffalo try harder, but they had little
luck. However, all this work was bound to
produce some results, and by the time Of the
New Hartford game, a week before the final
contest with Elm Park, Buffalo had learned
enough to take his place at fullback with the
regular team. And while he was of little value
there, he at least managed to keep out of the
other players way-sometimesl
I'm afraid it's hopeless, Freddy" said Coach
Lowering the night before the New Hartford
contest ''That big brute just can't get the idea
that this is a fighting game He thinks 1t is
some sort Of kids play"
We'll Wen see how he goes tomorrow against
New Hartford" said Freddy hopefully. Maybe
when he actually gets in there and smells blood

The New Hartford game was comparatively
easy one, and they risked little in playing Buff

WEATHER BUREAU
FOR VALLEY MAY
BECOME REALITY

A communication has been receiv'
cd bv the FL Centre Chamber of
Commerce from F. o. Wallahlager,
secretary of the California Citrus
League, stating that there has been
included by the senate in the depart
ment of agriculture appropriation
bin, an additional $4,000 for wealth
or bureaus and fruit frost service
work. 1t is still necessary that the
item be approved when the bill goes
to conference between the house
and the senate, but the fact that the
additional $4,000 has ben included
by the senate is considered very
favorable by those who have been
working for weather bureau and
fruit frost service in Imperial Val
ley.
The matter of the establishment of
weather bureau in Imperial Val
ley has been urged for number of
years by those interested in agricul-
tural matters. About n year ago
the farm advisors office and FL Cen.
tro chamber decided to take defin-
lite action on the matter and, with
the assistance of James II. Gordon,
meteorologist of Yuma and Floyd

the efforts Of Myron d. Witter, as

alton here were established. The
