veteran who manages the Gushing
team of the Oklahoma State League
Pettigrew makes his home in Okla
homa City; at least his wife does
for his team has to payy through
that city making it's trips around
the Oklahoma circuit. On one OF
these visits to his home Pettigrew
had to hustle out before his laundry
was delivered, and he left wearing
the only clean suit of next to nature
on the place.
His club started winning and Pet
tigrew became obsessed with the
notion that it was because he hadn't
changed his underwear that day as
usual-such success, he reasoned
must have some cause.
So he decided not to buy a new
suit of B. v. DIS. He wore that
suit, already frayed, and held to-
gether by one button--and the team
continued to win. His wife sent
him three clean suits; he sent them
back to her to void temptation, and
stuck to the old garment.
The winning streak of the Cush
ing team finally was broken; after

story.
Johnny Blelr played right half
back for Mercury and during the
first half did all its punting. His
spirals sailed beautifully for an
average of close to fifty yards. In.
variably they went outside well
within the Mohawk 20-yard line.
The MohawIxs matched Bleir with
punv efforts. His kicks kept the
ball in their territory and made q
break that produced q touchdown.
This came near the second
quarters end. With the Indians
hanger. ready to punt, fumbled
4 nssa. Quinn recovered for Mer.
cufy on the 6.yard line. Watson
rot four yards and Hurd made the
rest on two plunges. Bleir missed
q placement kick for the extra
point.
Standing on the Mohawk 48-yard
yard line, Brooke Brewer made a
dropkick that floated over the bar
with much to spare. It was the
longest field goal made here this
season. 1t would have been good
from the 60-yard line. Ten thou
sand people leaped to their puppies
in admiration, excitement ana
wonder.
A few minutes later in the third
period q remarkable athlete named
Paul Cox caught q punt and re.
turned it forty-eight yards. 1t was
The turning point of the struggle.
Il gave heart to the desperately
Fighting Mohawks. Cox is a trifle
over five feet tall and weighs $50
pounds. He looked like a barrel
with legs hustling down the field.
Brewer, the last Mercury man in
the line of defense, felled the human
harrell on Mercury's 32-yard line.
The fourth period opened with

hawks and was doing admirably.
He held his own, which was quite =
fest against Brewer. With Licari-
one. Frazer and Dreyfuss making
the gains, the MohaWks got within
striking distance as darkness was
settling. The Mohawks decided To
risk all on a placement kick. Dinty
Hughes dropped back to the 25-yar1
line. Schofield held the ball. Yes,
it was a beauty. 1t made the score
10 to 8.
1t was the first time that either
