[YOACH LOVERING raved and tore his hair, and the other players did everything to try to make Buffalo try harder, but they had little Juck. However, all this work was bound to produce some vesults, 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 Mttle value there, he at least managed to keep out of the other players’ way—sometimes! “I'm afraid it's hopeléss, Freddy,” said Coach Lovering the night_before the New Hartford contest. “That big brute just can’t get the'idea that this is a fighting"game, He thinks it is . “Well, we'll see how he goes tomorrow against New Hartford,” said . “The New Hartford game was a comparatively * easy one, and they risked little in playing Buf- : But s0 terribly did he show up that when the afternoon was over Haynesville barely man- \ to escape with a 19-13 victory. was terribly missed, particular) . “He’s really doing therwise, e’'s fast for a big man, an when he hits you, even easy, you know you've been hit. - Can't we try a little longer?” The coach finally agreed, but he said that he would groom Riley for one of the halfback jobs, and play Jones at full part of the time in practice. And that was the line-up 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= come the prejudice of Bufialo’s father his lessons. This had been necessary to over- against all such foolish things as games, SO in the evenings after they had wrestled with Latin verbs or geometrical 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 Buf- falo was improving. Coach was suf- ficlently 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 fake the game in deadly earnest, as 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 scrimmage Freddy ran up to him, his eyes blaging. “The trouble with you, Buffalo,” he burst out, “Is that you have a yellow streak a yard wide! Youre twice as big as the rest of this team and you're afraid of all of them. You're even afraid of me, you big horse. For five cents I'd smack you right in the teeth!” O’I‘H-t members of the team, their faces anxious, pushed forward, ready to protect their slender captain against th> fury that they expected to burst from Buffalo.
