...Just in that corner stood until the end of the 19th Century the ancient Kingdom of Benin. In 1486, six years before Columbus sailed to the west, Portuguese traders searching for pepper first entered the sacred city of Benin. There they found palaces of red clay polished until they shone like marble, great treasures of ivory, brass and bronze, a broad main street stretching to the horizon.

In addition, Chick Kaufman, brother of Les Kaufman, who was a main cog in last year's backfield, will probably be a replacement at halfback owing to his punting prowess...
