MOODY NOW
IN The ARMY

FIT. BENNING, Ca, Feb. 26-(A
NP)-Uncle Sam will call signals
in the future for John Clifford
Moody, "A, one Of the South's
greatest gridron stars-and
Moody is taking the change in
quarterbaclzs right in stride.
The 220-pound Moody, ace
full back at Morris Brown col
lege in Atlanta for four seasons,
arrived at the reception center
in Fort Benning last weekend
and by Tuesday was ''up to his
neck in the complicated process
by which the efficient cadre at
the reception center turns out
new soldiers at about the same
rate of, speed attained by mod
ern assembly lines.
Three strenuous days Of exam
nations, classification tests, lee
lures and a lot of other things
neW-and confusing everyone
but a soldier had not dulled the
edge Of Moody's good nature
Only, thing is that this uni
form is just little tight across
the shoulders-and it itches like
anything" Moody explained
Tuesday during a brief interval in
the processing procedure. An
appraising glance at Moody's As
inch chest and .18 and one-halt
inch neck offers a ready explana-
ton for his feeling a little
cramped'' in his new clothes.
Ask any Of Moody's fellow sol
diers at the reception center
what his football nickname is
and they'll tell you-it's big
Train rather fitting descrip-
ma asg given hgr. in 1899 when
@ probably looked like a nina
ture locomotive as he went
through opposing football lines.
During his athletic career at
Morris Brown, Moody built up
an enviable reputation as a foot
ball star, being named to All
American elevens on three sue
cessive occasions as a triple
threat fullback In the four
years that he played, Morris
Brown lost only six games. A
year ago the team, paced by the
Big Frain', won the national
championship by defeating Will
berforce university in the Steel
Bowl classic and last fall Moody
ard company were victorious
over North Carolina State in the
Peach bowl game Dec 6 in Co
lunlbus. Moody again was out
standing on New Years Day
when. Morris Brown lost a close
game to Langston university in
the Vulcan bowl in Birmingham.
Morris Brown lost only one
game last season, during which
Moody scored a total Of 81 points.
Moody also played varsity bas-
ketba1T and was active on the
track team and in other sports,
but he'll readily admit that foot
ball can't be beat"
"a native Of Freeport, Pa, a
small city near Pittsburgh, Moody
was called to duty before he was
able to complete his course at
Morris Brown. But he won't be
lonesome for his former team
mates very long, because, accord
ing to Moody, a good many of
the varsity players at Morris
Blown @will be joining their star
fullback shortly to run a little
interfence for Coach" Uncle

echo the question; it had hit her
so abruptly she was unable to
give him an instant answer. The
idea itself was strange but it
struck a funny chord within her.
"I'm not evading your ques-

TODD had skipped all his
classes that day. He hadn't
even returned to the fraternity
house for lunch. He stopped at
drug store on the outer fringe of
the campus and got a matted
milk. Then he started walking.
BY the time he heard the three
o'clock chimes he had circled
back to Main Street. For the first
time, then, he remembered foot
ball practice.
On his way to the stadium he
noticed several people sn atch

He didn't bother to identify
familiar faces. He didn't want to
say anything to anyone, not even
hello. He passed the cluster of

campus and squirrel at the base
of one of them scurried up the
branches as he approached

He was sick of the whole thing.
Right up to his neck. And if he
never saw a football again it
would make little difference. He
didn't owe anybody anything. he
reflected bitterly; he'd certainly
given more than he'd received

Susan heard the report on the
radio that night. Todd Malone
hadn't shown up for practice. He
had returned to his fraternity
house that afternoon about three
and had left shortly afterwards.

An hour later Susan parked
near the state penitentiary in
Centerville. She walked into the
administration offices and intro
duced herself. "I'm Susan Drake.
