The place: Wasmer Field. My teammates and I were laced with a grueling task, beat team 3. Having downed our lunches quickly and having survived morning classes, we stripped ourselves of our ties.

After winning the coin toss and electing to start with the ball on our twenty, we huddled; we decided to start the game conservatively, go for the shortrange passes and gain a first down. Our first two passes fell incomplete, we had no chance left-for a first down; we had to go for it all. W huddled again. Everyone go deep, was the command of the quar-terback. Everyone did go deep, but the pass was; short; it was intercepted. Taking this setback in stride, we showed no emotion as we took our defensive positions. On the first down, the oposition completed a pass over the middle. It was my man; I had let the team down. I had failed. I vowed I would make up for it. The next play was a bomb. It exploded; they scored. We stopped them on the extra point try however, and I batted down the pass. It was nothing thrilling. It was just my job. Time was running out. We had the ball first down on our own twenty. We had to score this time. Being the leader I must take control. I caught the first pass for a ten yard gain. We had to hurry though; there were only 45 seconds remaining. On second down, we tried to go long, but it was batted down. Two plays to score I thought, we must do it. W« j completed the third dowR y pass to midfield. There. 2 were 15 seconds left. Thi | was the play: I was open in the end zone. My eyes set on the J1 ball, I leaped and grasped , it. My feet came down on the track, though, out of bounds. We had lost. Regaining our ties and j books, we laughed with the: 1 opposition, our friends. We ;1 would beat them in basketball we promised. It had been a hard game. We had '!) lost. It was Miller time, but j we had to go to class. 28 Intramural iuei
