“But Coach,” Larry said, “you


              already made us run a mile and a


              half before practice.”


                      “Yeah,” Coach said, “and as

              slow as all of you ran, except for


              Johnson, I should make you run a


              couple of miles.”


                      Everyone knew better than to


              say any more, so we all headed to


              the running area.  However, after


              we turned the corner, all but Allen

              peeled off to go to their lockers.


              Allen was the other wrestler at 185


              pounds.  He was a little bit slow


              mentally, but a very kind person.


              He only wrestled if the other team

              had more than one 185-pound


              wrestler, but he did quite well


              when he did wrestle.
