“Well, I’d always liked tennis,” conceded Chase. “Funny thing, though,
that, after all, I got hurt worse in tennis than I did in four years of
football.” Clint looked curious and Chase went on. “I was playing in a
doubles tournament at home Summer before last and my partner and I
hadn’t worked together before and there was a high one to the back of
the court and we both made for it. I got the ball and he got me; on the
back of the head with his full force. I dropped and they had me in bed
three weeks. Concussion, they called it. I thought so too.”
