“I’m not knocking, Tracey. I’m giving all the fellows credit for what
they did yesterday, but I don’t want them to get the idea in their heads
that all we’ve got to do is mark time from now until the big game. We’ve
got to be at least twice as good then as we were yesterday. Besides, I
don’t call it the middle of the season when we’ve got only three games
to play before Claflin. The Benton game was the mid-season game. We’re
on the last lap now. And,” he added grimly, “we’ve got some work
ahead of us!”
