Football has always been a gentleman's game, probably because its very physical nature brings out the best in men. Last Saturday the crowds applauded Boynton not only because his playing was spectacular, but because it was also the clean playing of a gentleman.

...replaced him, has begun his work unostentatiously and with a squad that is anything but remarkable. He has not yet resorted to the tricky shifts that were accountable for his "Golden Tornado" teams down South.
