And crepe. Let the slaughter Now proceed! Wipe ’em oiu with Ltmost speed. Higher education’s call Comes about this Time each fall. Raw ! Raw ' Raw ! Raw ! Raw ' Raw 1 College, College, I law ! Haw! I law !—Ex. FOX—SUB FULLBACK. I wenty-mne blanketed boys lounged on the ground out-ule the gymnasium waiting for the coach’s last orders. They had not long to wait. The coach appeared and, orders given, he left the 1 ne coach in charge of the practice and hurried oack to I owler s room. Fowler was fullback on the eleven and in the spirited game with l a-rville had received a twisted leg. which would lay him up for some time, and the doctor had said that it looked as if I-owler had played his last game of football. The coach knew the meaning of this, and a day later he told the squad that the best man among the subs, fitted for the position, would get it. Hie tryout was to be held on the following i hursday. This announcement was received with great joy among the hree subs, and immediately they began pondering over the s’gnals of the team and making every effoit to please the coaches and the captain. Thursday came and nearly the entire school was out to see who—Fox, Jay, or Carpenter—was to be the favored one ( arpenter was of the boisterous type and was extremely pop-ular with the “bunch.” Fox was a cpiiet looking person of athletic build, lie desired his own company onlv, and as a sub had not yet received the opportunity to show what was in him. lie was thought by the “bunch” to be practically ut of it. So he was. At the tryout, Carpenter made a sensational tackle and was instantly recognized as fullback. Fox had fumbled, and with the fumble his chance had gone. I he game with bairville was to be played Saturday Friday night Carpenter was called home on account of sickness, thus leaving Jay to play the vacant position. 4

At 1 o clock the stands were beginning to fill. One-thirty and they were overflowing. In the north wing of the stands, a lusty cheer broke upon the air, as the gladiators came forth upon the field. A trifling breeze was playing with the brown pennants and banners which were incessantly waving. Now the south wing broke, as their heroes jumped the ropes and gained the arena. Fairville had turned out in large numbers, ready to give the needed encouragement to their players. A con spun, glittering, into the air and fell on the brown d rt of the gridiron. Cullings won the toss and the captain chose to defend the north goal. Two o’clock, and both elevens were lined up for the battle. The whistle blew and a moment later the pigskin sailed out toward our goal. It was caught on the ten yard line and a run of ten yards resulted. Scrimmage after scrimmage ensued, and it was plain to the onlookers that the teams were evenly matched. 'I'lie first quarter was over with the ball on our forty yard line. In the second quarter. Fairville plunged and hammered in vain, then a forward pass netted them fifteen yards. It was first down ten yards to go, for a touchdown. Five yards was the result of the first plunge, two yards on the second, followed by a fumble which cost them eight yards. Then a neat end run put a figure 6 on the scoreboard. Somehow in that last scrimmage. Jay had turned an ankle, this laying him out of the game. The home crowd and the Fairville rooters groaning and cheering in turns, did not know this until they saw his brown form being carried from the field. Fox was summoned and, changing clothes during the intermission, was ready for the third quarter. He played the position as well as could be expected, but one thought troubled h:m greatly, “Why didn’t they call his signal more than they did? Did the quarterback think that he couldn’t hold on to it?” Fie now realized what his fumble in the tryout meant. He resolved to show them, when the time came, just what he could do. The fourth and last quarter saw the ball on our twenty-five yard line. The opposing team tried a series of line plunges, and. not gaining the required distance, shifted for a forward pass. Ninety-four, 39. 58, and the ball was snapped to the quarterback. Instantly it was on its way toward Fairville’s rght end. Just as it seemed the ball was as good as caught, an athletic form shot into the air and intercepted its course. Quick as a flash, that form was tearing down the field, toward our goal. Close behind.. Fox heard the heavy thud of feet.
