The son of a gridiron hero struggles to
live up to two ideals; story for parents
by w. BOYCE MORGAN

that way. But as he became better acquainted
with other boys of his own age, and heard
them talk about their mothers and their
fathers, he realized that something was
wrong. True, he admired and respected his
father, but that didn't seem to be quite what
the other boys felt He couldn't get the diff
ference straight in his mind, but it was always
there, bothering him.
Then one day while he was rummaging in
the attic, he came across box containing
things that Frank Custer had not looked at
for years. There was picture of college foot
ball team with much younger Frank Custer,
long of hair and stern of face, seated in the
center, holding the ball. There was bundle
of newspaper clippings. Johnny glanced at the
headlines: Custer Stars Against Penn" -
Custer Elected Football Captain" - Custer
Is Mentioned For All-American."
Johnny read every one of those clippings
word for word. When he wrapped them up
again and replaced them in box, he had a
new picture of his father - as he had been
twenty-five years ago. And suddenly Johnny
thought he knew, at last, the secret of the gulf
between them.
Dad thinks I'm sort of a sissy" he said to
himself. And then, deep down inside of him,
a tiny fear began to gnaw, fear that his
father was right.
Johnny was twelve years old at that time
He was soundly but slenderly built, with
some of his fathers height but with little
too much of his mothers delicacy. He had
learned to play tennis, and played it well.

Wnen ne was nome, ne was frequently with
Johnny, and they talked together, after a
fashion. And Frank Custer was kind about
getting the car out, helping his son into it,
and taking him for rides. But even so, when it
was all over, Johnny's attempt to play foot
ball had done more harm than good as far as
his relations with his father were concerned.
Then, when Johnny was sixteen. he began
to put on weight. The next year he was really
beginning to be husky, and he quietly went
outfor the football team at Wilson High School.
He lasted little more than two weeks, being
dropped when the squad was first cut.
That was blow to his father. During
those weeks, they had been closer than at
any other time in their lives Usually Mr..
Custer would be home from the Office by the
time Johnny returned from practice. He
would toss his paper aside the minute his son
entered the room.
well, big shot, he would say heartily.
"How did it go this afternoon"
"Oh, all right, Johnny would reply, grin
ming little self-oonsciously. Then he would
relate the story of the days practice.
''The coach is trying me out at end," he
reported. But l don't tackle very we'll yet.
Guess I'll learn, though"
'Sure, you'll learn" Mr.. Custer doomed.
YOU'RE built for an end, and you're fast
Practice is all you need"
But Johnny didn't learn quite fast enough
and the cut in the squad ended his football
for another year.
When the next season arrived, Frank
Custer began talking football to Johnny a
month before school started. He measured
him with his eyes and pounded his muscle
you've put on weight, Johnny" he said
hopefully. "You ought to make it this year."
Johnny nodded, and said he hoped so. 1t
was his senior year in high school - his last
chance to play football for Wilson.
He went out for the team and worked hard.
This time when the squad was cut, Johnny

November 21, 1897

- THE day that Johnny Custer was
born, in the summer of 1918, his
father was commanding COM
pany of raw American troops near
the bloody Marne river, 4OOO miles away
And in some ways, that 1900 mile gulf be-
tween father and son had never been bridged
After almost year Frank Custer came
home, with a wound in his leg and decora-
ton on his chest. But, somehow, those first
months of Johnny's life, passed under the
exclusive influence of his mother, seemed to
have nexorably stamped the pattern of the
future. Johnny Custer was Caroline Clusters
son, wholly and completely.
As little boy, Johnny adored his mother.
Sometimes, as he sat on the floor of the
living room, running toy autos over the rug
to the accompaniment of moist, bubbling
sound from his lips, he would stop his play
and gaze at her where she sat before the piano.
For long moments he would sit there, watch
ing her steadily and listening to the soft tones
produced by her gently moving fingers.
Then, as she became conscious of his
silence and swung about to learn it's cause,
he would scramble up from the floor, run to
her, and wind his arms about her knees.
Pretty Mother!" he would cry, squeezing
with all the might of his stout little arms.
Then Caroline Custer would laugh delightedly
and whisk him up to her lap. And few min
utes later he would be picking out simple
melodies on the piano, his hands guided by
hers his forehead wrinkled in childish con-
centration.
Johnny's early encounters with his father
were much different. He always would remem-
Der huge, burly man in rough brown suit,
on all fours in one corner of the rOom wagging
his massive head in growing imitation of a
bear. Johnny knew it wasn't a bear. He knew
it was his father, trying to play with him,
and Johnny laughed long and loud But his
laughter was too high-pitched, and if the
game continued for any length of time,
Johnny was apt to start crying. Then, his
mother would pick him up. soothe his agitated
feelings, and tell his father. with gentle,
smiling reproach, that he shouldn't be so
rough with Johnny.
At that, Frank Custer would get to his
feet and shake his head soberly. Towering
above Johnny and his mother, he would gaze
down at the boy anxiously and try to make
amends for frightening him. But after while
he would wander to the other end of the
room, pick up a newspaper, and hide himself
behind it.
Gradually, as Johnny grew older, he began
to sense the difference in his feeling toward
his two parents. At first, it did not seem
strange to him. because it had always been

survived. FRANK L uSter grlnned
happily whenhe heard aboutit.
Good work, Son!" he cried.
You'll be going great guns by
the end of the year"
Johnny got his first chance
in the opening game of the
season. Tom O'Connor. the
Wilson coacA put him in the
lineup at the beginning of the
second half. The opposite team
was weak, and Johnny looked
pretty good until near the end
of the game. Then twice on
forward passes, he got away
from the defensive halfback
and had a clear path to the
goal line when the ball came to
him. In each case it was a
perfect pass, and in each case
he got his hands on it. But he
dropped it.
That night Frank Custer
