I still will insist that my idea
LOT running distance races Is the best
Let the boys do the first nine OF
ten laps in the solitude Of the base
ment, and then trot into view for
the finish. Il would provide ter
rifle suspense. that sitting there and
Wondering whose torso would be first
to come out Of the chute.
II they never came out, 50 much
the better.
