> 而后他们又练习另一种叫作防守的动作，他们安排三个家伙挡在我前面，我应该突破他们，抓住带球的那个家伙。前半部分比较容易，因为我可以轻轻松松把那三个家伙推倒，可是他们不喜欢我抓住带球那家伙的动作，最后他们要我去撞一棵大橡树，撞上十几二十次——去体会一下那种感觉，我猜。可是过了一阵子，他们猜想我从那棵橡树身上已经学到一些东西之后，又叫我跟那三个家伙一起和拿球的家伙练习。他们发起火来，因为我推开三名阻挡者之后扑向拿球那家伙的动作不够凶残。那天下午我挨了许多骂，可是练习完毕之后我去见教练，告诉他我不愿扑倒带球那家伙，因为我怕会伤到他。教练说，不会伤到他，因为他穿了球衣，有保护。其实，我并不是那么怕伤到他，我怕的是他会生我的气，要是我不好好对待每个人，他们就又会来追打我。长话短说，我花了好一阵子工夫才弄清楚诀窍。
> Then they tried this other thing they call the defense, where they put three guys in front of me and I am sposed to get thru them and grap the guy with the football. The first part was easier, cause I could just shove the other guys' heads down, but they were unhappy with the way I grapped the guy with the ball, and finally they made me go and tackle a big oak tree about fifteen or twenty times— to get the feel of it, I spose. But after a while, when they figguried I had learnt somethin from the oak tree, they put me back with the three guys and the ball carrier and then got mad I didn't jump on him real vicious-like after I moved the others out of the way. I took a lot of abuse that afternoon, but when we quit practicing I went in to see Coach Fellers and told him I didn't want to jump on the ball guy cause I was afraid of hurtin him. Coach, he say that it wouldn't hurt him, cause he was in his football suit and was protected. The truth is, I wasn't so much afraid of hurtin him as I was that he'd get mad at me and they'd start chasin me again if I wadn't real nice to everbody. To make a long story short, it took me a while to get the hang of it all.
