THE SUMMER SHOW
Il BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

THE SUMMER SHOW The theatrical bigwigs from the city Are securing the countryside. Giving town halls and clubs the once over With eyes on red barns good and wide. They are interviewing town constables Who are wise to city slicker tricks; They won't put anything over at Hohokus Though the townsfolk may look like hicks. All Podunk is excited and agog, Elmer has just been tilted by Mabel, Because a summer show Is coming to town, And she might capture a sort of Clark Gable. Out on Cape Cod things are bustling Interest in fish is becoming @ bore, For way down at Cotut Cove They've booked Ethel Barrymore Wind1nills, red barns and whatnot, Are being smartened up just so, For 1t won't be anytime now, folks, Before the arrival of the summer show.

die. He points out that it Is less
fatiguing to stand erect.
"Having linemen shift with
the backs makes them m Q, e
alert, gives them a better chance
for effective blocks and makes
them feel they are a bigger part
of the offense. Every lineman
is a ball-carrier at heart. II a
lineman lines up tense, he Is less
effective than If he Is mobile,
and he may tip off a play. In
shifting, he can jockey himself
