Thus speaks Grandpa Vanderhof, who, when entering his office one day, hearkens to his own words, turns on his heel, and never goes to work again; who is the patriarch of the maddest and merriest household establishment ever on exhibition.

Why, if we had ever dropped three games in a row they'd have run us out of the Gold Coast. But no wonder with guys like us, Ed--we were men. We went through teams, not around and over them.
