Some nights, just to get a little privacy, the honeymooners sneak out and make love in the side yard. In this human hutch-with its clutter of furniture, racket...
...prepare for playing on a field 25 yards smaller than regulation width, the club spent this week working on scissors movements in the three quarters. These consist of the wing cutting back behind his center to take the pass, rather than going to the outside and heading for the sidelines, and will hopefully enable the team to make the most of its speed...
