Recommends OOP Plank Oontinoed frctm Page Six went along, and when he ran a crosa the fields to carry water, the stands roared as his dock- li'gs wHJdled along flashing aater from the pail with hia khort ierky stepa. Tom Sanders, now at Mont clair, N. J., took charge of the team the following year as plt^ cr coach. Lea showed unusual interest and as he saw the coach kick, p4» and run, he was thrill id at the ease with which Tom Hiiidled the pigskin. Tom had done very well for himself at Springield college and knew what it was all ft>out. He took an interest in the little fellow, just because he was “with the team” and taught Lee « few tricks. Later, Big Dolly King came oat for practice to get in shape. Again Lea got the bene fit of seeing a md«ter performer work. ” . . But as he grew older, of course the fellows on the squad took him as a joke he grew bolder and r;iw Sodie White, one of the jjreatest centers ever to get over .1 h; 1, work. ^odie taught Leslie huvv ti> tackle and how to block and if , ever a man knew that work, it was So^ WUta d opponeats will tell f9m.

The coach called him aside and talked with kiai aiid wkea he found that Les had had the advantage of hsAring snae of the greatest coaching and play ing experience in the world, he was immediifely impreaaad. So Leslie msde the sqjaad and not only msde the ii|—d, bat custed the white kid who had been playing qoarterbaek whea he showed that he not oaly kaew how to play football, but was a ms'ter tsctician tb well.
