 Before I was through the first line of tacklers, everything began to get dark; when I returned to get more instructions from Rockne I could barely see his lips moving, but knew I had done everything wrong.
 Tn my widest moments I never realized there were so many fine points to football. There is only one way to tackle, clip, block and run, Rockne claimed, and he saw to it, that we agreed with him"

 Unquestionably he has the very strongest alliance of any figure in the fight game since Rickard, plus ideas and imagination.
 At least IS or 20 years ago John ston was familiarly known along Broadway as the Boy Bandit for the reason that in fistic dealings with him it was essential to watch everything, including your eye teeth, unless you wished to wake up and find yourself on the poor end of the bargain.
 Johnston has disarming man. ner. One of his axioms is: "The second bluff usually succeeds" He exerted a Svengali-like influence some years ago upon the venerable Irishman, Mike McTigue, with the result that Mike became convinced he possessed a right hand knockout punch and proceeded to demon strate it.
 The Johnston-M partner ship was one of the most extraor- dinary and profitable in the fistic business about four years ago.

 "The games that Burleigh Grimes pitched were watched with more interest than usual because Grimes worked as a lumberjack in Sawyer county CWis) 20 years ago. Owen, south of here, also was much inter ested on account of Grimes father living in that village now, where he is an ice man. Last year Bur- leigh sent his father $500 so the latter could see the worlds series games. Grimes learned to play ball in the Clear Lake locality, where he was born"
