back to Steve. Most of the time
theSe rooms had been forbidden
territory to him, for here visiting
teams had stayed. Nights, the
Lion 'stronginen had lain upstairs,
thinking of their opponents sleep

would travel to three small rooms
in the northwest corner of the
first floor, where the visiting
coach was plotting his final strat

Perhaps under the spell of
memories, Steve would open the
"door 'to these rooms and step in

he might hear a woman's voide

Then Steve would smile. Al
