INSTALLMENT XXI. REMONT,” went on Coach Bertwell, “we are on our own six-yard line. The third period has just begun. The score is 7-0 against us. It's second down with three yards to go. What's the play?” Fremont looked puzzled. “C’'mon, boy, you won't have all day to choose your play out there in a game. You've got to think fast.” “I'd shoot an off-tackle play, coach, to make first down. Since we're be- hind, we want possession of the ball, I would say.” “You're way off, Fremont. Didn't 1 say it was the begining of the third period? There’s plenty of time left to make up those seven points. Han- dling the ball in your own territory like that is dangerous business, espe- ecially when you're a touchdown be- hind in the scoring. The thing to do is to kick. Get rid of that ball and get out of danger. “All right, Armold. Your turn. There are five minutes left to play. € ‘We are leading by three points. The | opposing team's backs are playing | very close to their own line. We are on offense. There is a good chance to pass over their heads for a touchdown. ‘We can also assume that we can make a first down by line plunges. What ‘would you do?” “I'm inclined to think I'd hit the line, coach.” “Why?” “You said there were but five min- utes left to play. Assuming we can make a first down, that will give us four more downs. That will use up time. 8o long as we have the ball they cannot score. And when we fin- ally lose the ball it will be a punt which will put them in their own| cofin corner. I don't think they would score in a few minutes from there.” “Very good, Arnold.” For fully two hours Bertwell's alert and pragmatic mind concocted ques- | tions for his quarterbacks. Chuck and Paul Stevens did very nicely, but Fremont and Raleigh showed no apti- tude for foot ball strategy at all. Time and again they missed the point en- tirely or failed to perceive the situa- tion in its proper light. Bertwell, im- patient though he was, never showed | it. He worked along with his charges, endeavoring to explain every impor- tant detail to them. He know that if Stevens should get injured Satur- day in the Malbern game either Fre- mont or Raleigh would have to pilot the team. He dreaded the time when he would have to intrust Colburn's gridiron destinies to either one. On his way to his room, Chuck noticed a light on in the training room of the gym. He looked in the | window. Spike was sitting on the rubbing table reading a paper. “Hi, Spike!” yelled Chuck. “Time for you to be in bed.” “Indade is it? Well, I'd suggest that before I turn in, I put a few hot towels on your bloomin’ back. It's well and fit as a fiddle I want ya to be by Saturday. The Lord help us if Stevens gets hurt, and we have to use Raleigh. Might as well put a dummy or a jack- ass in there. Fine boys, too, but quarterbacks are born and not made.” “It'’s kind of late, Spike. Maybe I better wait till tomorrow for the towels. What do you say?” “You're not due to turn in for half 750 ad an hour yet. I think I better slap a few of 'em on you. Theyll do ya & world of good. Hurry up now.” Chuck hastened into the roam, stripped himself to the waist and stretched out on the rubbing table. Spike busied himself preparing the towels. Hot towels were s religion to the Colburn trainer. He recommended them without reservation for all ail- ments. Boils, toothaches, charlie- horses, sore shoulders, sprained backs, it didn't matter, hot towels—the more the better—were his remedy. Oc- casionally the boys would call him “Hot Towel Hennessey,” only to see him hit the celling. “There you are,” sald Spike, with & note of glee in his voice, as he planted a steaming turkish towel in the center of Chuck’s sore back. “I'm a-telling ya, me bye, you'll be fit for Saturday’s game if I have anything to do with ya. Why, these towels would cure & plague. Sure an’ didn’t I get Cap Minton’s bum leg ready in three days last week so he could start against Torrence? He couldn't be- lieve it himself, so fast was he fixed up. Even Coach Bertwell thought he'd be out for a week or two with a bump like he had. But I'm telling ya the gospel truth when I say it's hot towels that done it.” “They’re great all right, Spike” said Chuck, wincing, “but do you think they have hot?” “The hotter the better, me bye.

All through the Malbern game, Chuck sat beside Bertwell. Repeatedly during the play, he would remark to Chuck cryptically, to watch the tackles playing out of position, or notice the backs and how far back they were standing, or how the de- fending linemen failed to shift half s man when Colburn’s backfield hopped over to throw its strength on the right. “Keep playing the game in your mind, Arnold,” Bertwell rdvised. “Try to keep & step ahead of every play. It will help you a lot. Watch the slignment of the defending forward wall on the various formations. And decide what you would call on every play. If you think Stevens uses bad Jjudgment, mske a mental note of it and don’t fall into the same error.” “I will, Coach.” Colburn was having a more difficult time with Malbern than it had ex- pected. The big Orange outfit was tenacious and stubborn. It was re- luctant to yleld first downs. Neither team could score in the first half, and Colburn rooters sensed an impending defeat which would break its winning streak and put & bad crimp in the success of the 'campaign. ‘Toward the end of the third period Stevens took the ball on a trick play that ended up with him circling wide “rn be all right in just a second, Cap.” Whereupon Stevens rose la- boriously to his feet, and tried to run o few steps. Hecrumphd uponthe horse, Cap, “Isn't that the luck. Bertwell turned white on the bench when he saw Stevens fall to the ground. He knew it was the old in- jury that bothered him last year. The big fullback had hit him a terrific TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1935, blow with his shoulder, and its effect was far reaching. “Raleigh! “Re- port for Stevens, and use your head in “Too bad, Coach. Guess he's & bit | him. That'll save your back.” Raleigh was bubbling over with ag- gressive fervor. He was rarin’ to drive the team on to a touchdown. “Sig- nals,” he called out in a confident tone. Then he paused. “How's the arm feel for a pass, Salinger?” he asked of his left haifback. The shrill blast of the officizl:’ whistle inter- . | rupted his signals. The official picked up the ball and penalized Colburn 15 yards. Bertwell almost leaped off his seat on the sidelines. “Confound the stu- pid ass,” he sald between his teeth, “talking to his men befort he’s called Ralph J. Moore Coal Co. 1401 N. Cap.
