THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C, CORNER POINT TOUCHDOWN By RICHARD BRESLIN TT WAS still raining when they 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 I 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 Farra 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 before. Tech had had a nice com fortable lead in both those games. They didn’t need his points. Today, they were trailing the Aggies 6 to 0, and it was raining, and it was his last game in a Tech uniform. There was a hoarse murmur from the crowd in the opposite stands, and he saw the Aggies sprinting out on the field. They'd changed to dry uniforms and it took Jerry a mo ment to spot the two new men in the Aggie backfield. Tall men, and fast. Farraday sat next to him. He said: “We’re wearing them down. See those subs in there?” “Subs!” Jerry said. “They’re three deep in backs. They’re play ing safe, that’s all.” “Sure." Farraday nodded. “Try ing to protect their lousy six points. Just like Big Dan said.” Jerry remembered the coach’s words in the dressing room. Big Dan Winowski didn’t go in for pep- talks. But there hadn’t been a sound except his calm voice, and a drip ping shower. “All right,” the coach had said. “I know it’s wet, and bad footing, and we can’t pass much with that ball. But they’ve shot their bolt. 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 Up. Even Dan didn’t realize that you couldn’t kick them aU. 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 toward the sideline. 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 sUp- pery!” “Tough to handle,” agreed Jerry. “You needn’t worry,” said Farra 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 played 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. Taggert sent his plays into the line. He was snarling the signals, snapping his backs at the Aggie defense like a whip. Through tackle, guard, the other tackle. Then, back along the line. Five yards, three, four. A first down. Another. Tech kept marching. “Yowl” shouted Farraday. Big Dan leaped into the air. On the Tech Jerry froze, grew rigid; gave a gasping sob. “Kick! Kick!” Tag gert screamed. brushed him, but it was enough to send him sUding in the mud. Tech tried three plays and then punted. The game settled into a punter’s battle. Taggert had the wind at his back and counted on picking up dis tance on each exchange. But the Aggie kicker was good, too. Jerry couldn’t keep from watch ing the clock on the scoreboard. The big second hand jerked around, stopped, moved again. Jerry found himself nodding as the hand jerked. He was cold inside; a chill that had nothing to do with the wind and rain. Every minute passing made the odds against him greater. ■The quarter ended; the teams changed goals. Now, he’d have the wind fighting him when he tried to kick. His luck was out all right. “Iley!” cried Farraday, startled. “Hey!” Jerry snapped awake. A fumble. There was a wild, awkward scram ble for the ball. An Aggie, stumbling in the mud, dropped on it. The ball popped from beneath him, bounded CROSSWORD PUZZLE Horizontal 1 High card 4 Exists 6 Ordinary 11 River in Pennsylvania 18 Despicable 15 Upon 16 Sparkle 18 To cloy 19 Greek letter 21 Heraldic bearing 22 Part of “to be” 23 Ferocious spotted cat 26 Posed 29 Soothing ointment 31 Drink made from manna 33 Six 34 Land measure 35 Doctrine 38 To stain 39 Man’s nickname 40 Note of scale 41 Leaping r amphibian 43 Ethereal 45 To recede 47 Howling 50 Conjunction 52 Slender 53 Witnessed 56 Exclamation used to frighten fowls 58 Quaking 60 Prefix: two 61 Annual church celebration 63 Escaped 65 Stop on a theatrical tour 66 French article 67 Poem Vertical 1 Genus of succulent plants 2 Penny 3 What? 4 Eskimo house 5 Keen 6 Escorted 7 Therefore 8 —Major, the Great Bear Solution In Next Icouo. 9 Second U.S. President 10 Illumined 12 Whether 14 French for “from” 17 To close noisily 20 Completely 24 To give forth 25 Author of “Life With Father” 27 To state positively 28 Neat 29 Large bundle 30 Desert dweller 32 College administra tive official 36 French coin 37 Wild duck 42 Fees 44 Pronoun 46 To raise 48 Fold of the front of a coat 49 Archaic: to anoint 51 List 54 On on’e sleeping- couch 55 Broad 56 Compass point 57 Owns 59 Greek letter 62 Printer’s measure 64 To perform Answer to Puzzle Number D 71 B E s £ JO 1 o - v A * T A m p E 0 P E E P L 0 Y ■ F U 3 E ?

He sat on his hands to hide their trembling. Tech stuck to power plays. They bulled through for three yards, two The Aggie backs were playing close, backing up the line. The next play bounced oft the Aggie wall. No gain. Taggert suddenly faded back, passed. It was out in the flat and risky. The Tech half juggled the ball, but he held it. He went all the way to the seven yard line before the Aggies caught him. Taggert opened up. He called a spinner, a reverse, a delayed buck. The referee’s arms went up. Touch down. Farraday pulled the blanket off Jerry. He said: “Get going.” Jerry saw Big Dan beckon. “There’s the ball game.” he said, smiling. “Make it legal, Jerry.” Jerry swallowed. He opened his mouth, and then shut it tight He nodded and trotted out onto the field. His legs moved him stiffly to ward the referee. He heard his voice, thin and strained. “Ellis for Melkovich. At full.” He walked woodenly into position and stared up at the cross-bar. It was a dim line in the gloom. Taggert was drying the ball with a towel. He wiped his hands and knelt at Jerry’s feet, Taggert grinned and said: “In the bag, kid. I’ll put my h^nd under it. The mud’s like grease.” Jerry stood rigid. His forehead was clammy. “Steady in there,” called Taggert. “Keep them off him. Steady.” His head turned as he glanced along the line. “Ready, kid?” Taggert’s voice sharpened. “Signals!” he raised his ^ands. Something clicked in Jerry’s head. This is it, he thought. “Seven, nine, eleven ” At worst it was a tie. But a tie spoiled the season’s record. He couldn’t make it. “Three, five ” He’d done it too many times. A miss was overdue. He was going to miss. “Two!” 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 comer 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. Homes on Wheels A total of 300,000 automobile trail ers are now in use, either rolling over the nation’s highways or parked in trailer camps, says the Automobile Manufacturers associ ation. Many trailers are painted on the outside with aluminum paint to reflect heat in hot, sunny climates, and on the inside in attractive color schemes to make them homelike. Process ior Killing Turkeys Explained Proper Slaughtering And Bleeding Required Before killing turkeys, as well as other fowl, see that they have ac cess to water but no feed during the 12 to 18 hours prior to slaughtering. When the turkey shows feed in the crop it will not be graded as quality. To kill a turkey for market, sus pend them by shackles, leaving the wings free. Insert the blade of the killing knife in the turkey’s mouth Proper method of killing a tor- key as well as other fowl. —Draw ing, Cornell university. and make one clean cut across the upper part of the throat just back of the junction of the head and neck, as shown in drawing. Hold the turkey head down, with the beak open, until the blood is well started. With the left hand grasp the head in front of where the cut has been made to prevent the pressure of the fingers from check ing the flow of blood. Poor bleeding is indicated by visible blood in the veins and by the dark red appear ance of the carcass after picking. When the blood is flowing freely, thrust the knife blade straight back o/i a line between the eyes and ears, through the cleft in the roof of the mouth and into the lower lobe of the brain. Give the knife a quarter turn. This kills the bird and loosens the feathers. Herds and Flocks on Successful Farms Feed bunks for cattle should be 30 inches high for mature stock and 24 inches for calves. Allow 30 inches of trough length for each grown animal, 20 for each calf. Make the grain and silage bunk three feet wide for feeding from both sides. Many ewes die every winter from a condition known as pregnancy dis eases. The losses are not as com mon in flocks where the ewes are kept gaining slightly in weight dur ing the gestation period. Well-conditioned ewe that should cause no trouble. Lousy cows, when freed from lice, give 10 per cent to 15 per cent more milk, according to Michigan State college. This means the equivalent of another cow in a herd for $1, by controlling lice. In winter, which is a bad time for cattle lice, apply a powdered louse killer containing DDT and repeat the application in 10 to 14 days. Early spring litters of pigs do poorly unless the brood sow has an abundant supply of milk at farrow ing time. Baby Chick Feeders c-T-l Preventing waste of feed is al ways important.
