The demand today is for more speed and better general- ship. Football is so strenuous a game that it may not be played without preliminary training. A thorough mastery of the sport calls for the proper coordination of brains and brawn. A number of -mechanical con- trivances have been invented to harden the football recruit during his practicing season. Tackling dum- mies are perhaps the most numerous.
