Then began a time of sore tribulation for Joel; for not until ten minutes had passed did the ball touch his toe. His handling was wrong, his stepping out was wrong, and his leg-swing was very, very wrong! But he heard never a cross word from his instructor, and so shut his lips tight and bore the lecture in good-humored silence. Now kick." Joel caught the ball nicely, and sent it sailing far down the field. Try and catch the ball just in front of the arch of the foot. |
