The "puce and green"
never did falter. On the field, good old Canarsie was invincible with a team composed
of wrestlers and pugs. Canarsie didn't even have to chisel its opponents. A
score was like taking candy from a baby. With a student cheering section of
mobsmen in coonskins and chorines wearing the "puce and green", they
swept the country. And so on until Canarsie met her at a game which would have
made any battlefield sound like a tea party.
A rip-roaring yarn this, of
chiselers, mobsmen, pineapples, and punks.
