If the can- didates measure up to these quali- fications, the coach has one final test—a game of handball. In his opinion it's a quick way to size up the muscular coordina- don of a football candidate. If the candidate satisfies Mullins on the court he gets the coach’s ok “Wee had a big fellow come in to| look over St. Benedict's several years ago,” said Mullins to prove| his point. “He was a giant phys- fcally and had good grades.
