DUT Hicky was not fit to play by the fol-
- lowing Saturday. He sat on the bench and
watched his teammates absorb a thorough
beating. Gregg kept possession of the ball most
OF the afternoon, and piled up three touch
downs before the final whistle blew. Hamilton
didn't even come close to scoring.
You see?" said Ronnie that night. THE
tougher they are, the worse Jack looks. He
shines when the opposition is feeble, but when
he's needed the most in hard game, to help
the line and the other backs he's taking va
cation somewhere. Hows the ankle tonight?"
Better" replied Hicky. Il think ought to
be able to get into practice IN a day two"
Hicky hobbed through his first Scrimmage
on Tuesday afternoon, but the coach kept him
on the second team while Jack played in his
old position with the regulars. On Thursday
night however, Hicky got in the first-team
lineup. and he felt confident he would play
at least part Of the game Saturday. Coach
Williams was doubly anxious to win the last
two games on the schedule because of the two
defeats and tie that had resulted in recent
contests.

PLEA FOR
ATHLETE

Central High School students
have withdrawn a petition pro-
testing the athletic disbarment
of Louis c"Rube") Hayman, fol-
lowing a conference between DR..
Harvey A. Smith, principal, and
leaders in the movement today.
Several hundred students had
already signed the petition in
behalf Of Hayman, who was
barred from school athletics for
one year as the result of a fight
with a Tech student, following
the Central-Western basketball
game last Tuesday.
Hayman Tells Story
Hayman, central figure in the
latest athleC hugaboo to haunt
the school principals, admits
striking John Mclean Tech High
football player, hut claims it was
only after Mclean had goaded
him into doing it. He said:
"While we were warming up
before the game, we noticed
this group Of Tech High foot
ball players sitting behind the
Central bench, razzing Mario
GregOriO and myself. They
also rode Coach COggins and
Buddy Nau, asking Coach Cog
gins If he could take it. We
noticed their ringleader was
John McLean.
"Their razzing got us off our
game, but we didn't say any
thing during the game. After
the game, we DIRE e-seG and then
returned to watch the Eastern
Tech game. At the end Of the
half, L went into the corridor
to get drink Of water.
"CALLED ME YELLOW"
"While I was getting a drink,
Mclean was Dragging what he
had done, saying I was yellow
and didn't have CUTS enough to
do anything about it. He was
surrounded by q group Of Tech
football players. 1 went over to
him and asked: Don't you like
the way Central plays basket
ball?'
"He gave me q snappy retOrt.
Then / asked him what was the.
idea of razzing us during the
game. He gave me another
spicy reply and then 1 struck
him on the chin. Mac fell back
and then ! went back into the
stands to see the finish of the
EaStern-Tech game. 1t was the
only blow struck and that was
all. There was no general fight.
"SoOn afterward Tech stu
dents gathered and threatened
to get us. Hap Hardell. Tech
athletic director, came out after
it was over. Then he made a
remark to COgginS, saying: You
better get Hayman out Of the
gym because the Tech students
will get him. That showed they
wanted to finish what they
started. Furthermore, the prin-
cipaIs refused me permission to
attend their meeting to present
my version of the affair.

the Tech football players raZ-
zing us was because we beat
them for the football champion
