The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-24

tically at the line of scrimmage by Dan Webber who came up from nowhere and dropped him on the 31
 "They're out of the huddle again and now it's a reverse to the short side and again :. again it's Webber who pours into the gap and messes up the play Those big Tech tackles are being ridden out on every play, but this boy Webber is do- ing a remarkable piece of defen- sive work down there :"
 Joan, listening to every word, for some vague reason suddenly recalled the shoulder she had leaned upon the hayride.
 e. Third and seven and 1t looks like a pass It isl |. Edwards has it again . he hands it to Maloney behind the line |. Maloney fades back and looks for a receiver Tech linemen are rushing him but they're being checked in there nicely Ma loney gets it away down there to Hubbard Hubbard is reaching for it on the IS .. but it's inter- cepted! It's intercepted by a Tech halfback. It's Rhodes Keith Rhodes took that ball out of Hubbard's hands and he's going up the opposite side of the field :. the 25 30 .. ."
 A maddened roar poured from the loud speaker in the Alpha Nu living room and the girls could hardly hear the announcer's voice, cracking with emotion.
 ". Rhodes is up to the 40 and still going and now he's picked up an interferer It's Dan Webber It's Dan Webber and Webber has moved out there in front of him at midfield |. Webber bounces into Cornell tackler and keeps going the 35 30 they're going for a touchdown Rhodes is go- ing for a touchdown .!

 That was the spark that set them of. Tech began to click right after that and once again they were the well-oiled machine of the past few weeks. The game ended 200. The Tech line. backed up by a vicious Dan Webber, smothered everything Cornell tried. Tech was headed for another score when the gun went of.
 Even though prospects for an season grew every day, football was a side issue the fol- lowing week. Nothing else mattered when the campus elected its home coming queen.
 Running against Kay Granger were Millicent Kennedy, the Scarab Combine candidate, a lovely Phi Delta named Corinne Chambers, and Frances Booth, a statuesque 1nde- pendent.
 Joan couldn't remember when she had had so much fun. When ever there was something to be done she was there. Keith let her use his car. Between Monday and Thursday, which was election day, Joan missed lunch twice.
 A funny thought came to her as she stood on the bumper of the car and tackled picture of Kay Granger to a post in front of a popular eating place. It was the first time in her life that she had ever had a hammer in her hand. Actually. It made her feel SO cap- able, so competent. The hammer itself felt impressive. Nice too, a hammer. She laughed to herself. She wondered what Dan Webber would think if he could see her then.
 Slow down." Kay joshed that night. we don't want to cele- brate coronation and send you to the hospital in the same day"
 Joan smiled. Take it easy, I'm having fun. Think maybe I'll enter politics seriously when I get out of this brain fac tory"
