IRECTLY after the team lunched lightly on porched eggs and tea every one got under way. A motor cycle escort led the cars through the city to the stadium., The players said scarcely a word all the way there. They were tense and inwardly nervous about the affair with Coke. It would be a hard game to win, and every player was hopeful of enjoying mi undefeated season. As they approached the field, Tubby, who was sitting beside Chuck, pulled @ program out of his pocket. “Where'd you get that Tubby?” Chuck asked. “You haven't been away from the hotel.” N “The mmlgerrof the Cliffcrest is & friend of mine,” boasted Tubby, his face wreathed in smiles. “Let’s see it,” said Chuck, noticing a detailed diagram of the stadium at Coke, on the back of the cover. “Sure, What are you looking for, your name?” “No,” said Chack, “I just want to see something.” Diligently he looked at the diagram, secrching for the seat which bore the same number as the ticket which he had given Sam for Nancy. “Aisle A, row A, seat 20, he said to him- self, and he ran his finger along the page. His eyes lit up. There it was right on the forty-yard line of the Ea.t stand. Chuck counted the seats from the end of the aisle to number 20. Only the first and last seats of each row were numbered on the dia- gram. They ran from 1 to 22. Must be the second seat from the South end, he concluded, and handed the program back to Tubby. “Thanks, Tubby, old boy.” “Righto, Chuck.” “Here we are already. Nice building, this fleld house.” “Sure is.” The team, coaches, manager and THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935, Capt. Minton won the toss and elected to kick-off. Hoffmeister booted the ball back to Coke’s goal line. A Purple player caught the ball on the run and zig-zagged his way back to his own 35-yard line before he was downed by Hoffmeister. The vast throng, clad in raincoats and armed with umbrellas to ward off the threat- ened showers, rose and cheered the play. It was a fine piece of broken- fleld running. Three smashes at the line netted Coke a first down on Colburn’s 48- yard line. Coke was going in grand style. They kept talking to one an- other ceaselessly, it seemed. Even as their pilot barked the signals the Purple linemen were chattering about what they'd do on the next play. Chuck, playing back as safety man, was spared the wearying chatter. But Once again it was Coke’s ball. And again the Purple field general started his hard-hitfing attack. = Through guard, through tackle and around end came the Coke ball carriers, for 3, 5 and even 10 yards at a clip. The only man they stayed away from was Blake. Their scouts had reported the prowess of the big Southwesterner and the field general had been instructed to steer his plays clear of him. It made Blake sore, this manifesta- tion of fear of him. He got so het up about it that he called out for them o send & play at him. “Listen to the big cowboy talking through his hat,” said one of Coke’s big linemen when he heard Blake’s challenge. “C’'mon, Stub, shoot one at him.” “All right,” said the small, heavily g ¥ g g & EEE P IH i “But the Coke fleld general was too smart to try the same ruse twice. He shot & forward pass instead. ‘The battle waxed warmer. Yardage came hard for both teams. Neither had scored by the end of the first quarter. When the whistle blew, an- nouncing the start of the second pe- riod, Chuck found himself down at the end of the field he was interested in. Coke had the ball on its 18-yard line. It was first down, 10 to go. Chuck was standing on the 40-yard line, playing safety man. ‘Two plays saw Coke advance the ball to its own 25-yard line. Chuck moved back 10 yards, Once again it was first down with 10 to go for Caoke. Suddenly it dawned on Chuck that he was standing right on his own 40- yard line. Right at the end of that H 581 af teams an was looking that way. Chuck kepi his glance fixed on her. He was happy to see her there. The thump of & foot against the pigskin reminded him he was in & foot ball game, and instinctively he tically Chuck searched the sky for some trace of the ball which he knew ‘was winging its way toward him. He ran to the left, then to the right, a few steps each way, striving des- perately to spot the ball, He suffered untold agonies in those few brief sec- onds of anxiety and futile hope, Try- ing to pretend he was making a definite effoft to catch the punt, he stuck out his hands. The ball struck him squarely on the head ahd bounced off toward his own goal line. Coke's swift-footed ends swooped after it. ylelded 5 Sorrel netted 3. buck, Jarwick tore the right flank for the remaining distance and a touchdows.. A few seconds later he kicked the point after touchdown. The ‘scoreboard read Coke, 7; Col- burn, 0. ‘The Colburn rooters were criticiz- ing Chuck for missing the punt which led to the touchdown for Coke. Right behind Nancy some one said, “Why, that boob Arnold’s only a flash in the pan. Just because he went well against Malbern they think he's great. Why, he just handed them that touchdown on a platter.” | “Yeah,” said the fellow with him, “he refused to go out for the team last.year. Wanted to enjoy himself, I | guess. Too bad he didn't wait till | this year. Then we might have a | chance with Coke.” | Nancy was hurt and vexed. She | turned around and looked sharply | at“the commentators. They paid no | attention to her. “Why doesn’t Bert- | well stick Stevens in the game? He kept them scoreless last year in this one. That's more than that stupid 8uy Arnold's done.” Chuck was too mortified to loo} over at the players’ bench, where Berts well was sitting, as the teams lined up for the kickoff again. He fely sure he'd be called out of the game any minute and be replaced by Stevens after missing that punt. It was une forgivable, he thought. Yet he hoped that by some chance or other he would be left in the fray. He felt sure he could lead the team to two touchdowns. (To be continued.; —— J. Blaise de Sibour & Co.
