We always screw in preference to shove when we get the ball. If the other side has the ball, of course we have to try and shove them oft ” • 1 ' A high military authority observed the other day that although he could not approve of the deliberate -malicious, hot to put too fine a point on .it, roughness sometimes shown on our football fields, he cannot withold his admiration of the sterliug,qualities the game calls into action.
