The Girls Went Out Early in the Morning to Play Football

Football

Margaret tells about the girls at Wheaton going out early to play football. They would get permission to do so and didn't want people to see them, so they got up very early in the morning and had a "jolly time" together. They got a sense of what the game was about: a hard one.
