threatens, If Red enters the game,

has promised the school. Ashamed
of his fathers attitude, Red feigns
drunkenness rather than tell the
real reason for his deserving the
team I such a time, and is dis
graced before the school and Sally.
His father, however, has a change
of heart during the game, and when
the score is tied and there is only
"one minute to play" urges his son
