Southern Oregon News Review, Thursday, November 6, 1947 FICTION CORNER POINT TOUCHDOWN Rv RICHARD U N IS IIN You see what they're doing. Kicking early. Keeping us away. They've got a touchdown and we haven’t. Get it back. Get the six points and I'll send Jerry out there. That's all we need.” And he had turned to Jerry and smiled. Jerry bit his lip. Even Dan didn't realize that you couldn't kick them all. Sooner or later he was bound to miss. And this was the last game. “Here we go,” muttered F arra day. The Aggies kicked off. Taggert, the Tech quarterback, took it on his five, and brought it back twelve yards. The Aggie tackier barely WAS still raining when they I T came onto the field for the second half. After the heat of the dressing room the air was cold and biting. Jerry Ellis grunted, and drew his blanket tighter. He splashed toward the Tech bench, staring up into the stands. The spectators, huddled un der umbrellas and newspapers, looked as if they'd melted in the drizzle and had run together. “They must be nuts,” said Farra- day’s voice beside him. Jerry turned. "They?” “Sure.” Farraday grinned; he nodded at the stands. “They paid money to sit in the rain. Am 1 glad I’m third string. You’re going to freeze out there without that blan ket.” Jerry frowned. He said: "You’re sure I’m going out there?" “You always have,” said Farm day. Jerry winced. He always had Since he’d been a sophomore he’d kicked every extra point that Tech had made. Automatic Jerry Ellis, the newspapers called him—Tech's place-kick specialist. There'd been columns telling how he hadn't missed in twenty-two games, how he’d run up a string of forty-eight successive points after touchdowns. Most of the sportswriters mentioned the part he’d played in Tech's un beaten, untied season, and that this was his last college game. There was straw strewn under the bench and Jerry kicked it into a pile for his feet. He sat down and one of the assistant managers tucked a blanket around his legs. Jerry wished that he'd missed in the previous game. He was due to miss. He was overdue. He'd expect ed it a week ago, and the Saturday Jerry froze, grew rigid; gave before.
