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?”

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

The ball moved, grew large. It
came back straight. Taggert caught
it, placed it in position. Jerry took
a step. He froze.
“Kick!" 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

Jerry touched the ball down. He
started to laugh. He looked up at
the scoreboard and saw the 7 move
