The Rules of the Game

by Stewart Edward White

"I don't believe I did a single earthly thing except play a little football," he confessed.

"Oh, you played football, did you? That's a great game! I'd rather see a good game of football than a snake fight. Make the 'varsity?"

"Yes."

"Where did you play?"

"Halfback."

"Pretty heavy for a 'half,' ain't you?"

"Well—I train down a little—and I managed to get around."

"Play all four years?"

"Yes."

"Like it?"
