Southern Oregon News Review, Thursday, November 6, 1947 THl FICTION corner WAS still raining when they I T came onto the field for the second 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'U 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 Farra day. The Aggies kicked off. Taggert, the Tech quarterback, took it on his five, and brought it back twelve yards. The Aggie tackier barely 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. Tech had had a nice com gert screamed. fortable lead in both those games. They didn’t need his points.

Taggert screamed, wild eyed. Jerry gave a gasping sob. He stooped, snatched the ball from Taggert’s fingers, and ran. He nearly hit the Aggie end, charging in. The end tried to stop himself, slipped, went down. His mouth was still open in amazement as Jerry dodged past. He raced for the corner of the end zone. He could hear Taggert pound ing along behind him, shouting in a high, excited voice, but nobody came near him. As he crossed the line, Jerry looked back. The Aggies were standing motionless, bewil dered. Jerry touched the ball down. He started to laugh. He looked up at the scoreboard and saw the 7 move into place. syrup pepsin Savings Bonds! information on various subjects | - 5. M ichigan. 6.

Taggert dove, gathered it in He slid all the way to the Tech bench, and got up. Farraday swore in sympathy. He said: "Murder! That ball's slip pery!" “Tough to handle." agreed Jerty. “ You needn’t worry.” said F arra day, chuckling. “They even hold it for you. All you got to do is kick it.” Jerry glared. Everybody figured it was easy because he only ployed a few minutes each game. He never even got In a practice scrimmage; too light, might get hurt All he had to do was kick it, and he hadn't slept in a week thinking about it. Tech started to drive.
