Only one pass was trhrown by the Crimson all afternoon, most of the ground being gained between the tackles.

Patient old goats who have outgrown their tick-lishness lie still; young goats squirm. The goat's four feet have meanwhile been bunched together and tied. The shearer clips as much of its back as he can reach, flops...
