something out of her.
She had wanted her senior year
to be something she could re-
member. How could she miss? she
thought sardonically. Especially
after this semester.
l., Saturday afternoon she joined
three or four others in the liv-
ing room. They tuned in just as
the announcer was giving the
lineups.
In the background they could
hear the gathering volume of
sound that always rolled up in
the final seconds preceding the
kickoff.
Northwestern won the toss, as
you know, and elected to re-
ceiVe," the announcer was saying
swiftly. 'sDucheF kicking for
State, with Malone holding. The
referee gets his signal from the
two captains, there's the whistle
and there they go !"
1t was a scoreles first quarter
but two minutes after the second
period began the announcer's
voice leaped upward in a more
dramatic pitch.
g. =. Northwestern's in a tough
spot now . =. that last penalty for
holding is putting 'em back on
their eight-no, their six-yard
line and it's third and %. Only
one thing you can expect
there it comes Northwestern
in deep punt formation with Lam
bert standing back in the end
zone. :, The snap from center
. and he gets it, awayrjust in
time-but it's poor one it's
going to be taken down there on
the Northwestern % by Malone"
His voice rose in a crescendo.
g. Malone takes it neatly,
swings to the right and .sidesteps
a Northwestern tackler-. And
there he goes down the sideline
the 25-20-the IS
OHHH, what a beautiful block in
there by Luttrell! and there
goes Malone! The 10-the five
and he's over! He's over for a
touchdown. !"
Todd Is Hurt
THE roar of the crowd swelled
L up behind the announcer's
voice as he gave a resume of the
play. "a beautiful 30-yard
runback of a Northwestern punt
by Todd Malone makes it State 6,
Northwestern nothing and
there comes the extra point
it's Luttrell holding and Malone
kicking the ball comes back
-. and it's good! It's good, max
ing it 7 and nothing
Edith Vance let out a war
whoop and slapped Susan on the
back. Were on our way, now,"
she chortled.
Edith turned out to be some
thing of prophet.
State got another one five min
utes later when Duchek plowed
across from the four. In the third
quarter Todd drilled a pass 25
yards to Pat Petrone, the left end,
Pat taking it on the five and lop-
ing across untouched.
Just a couple of minutes later
Todd was hurt. Involuntarily,
Susan half-held her breath, glued
her eyes on the radio as she
awaited the next word.
g. Can't tell much from UP
here" the announcer was saying.
"but it looks as though he caught
a good one in the head the
doctor is bending over him now
. :. he's signalling to the sideline
. and here comes three State
men to carry Malone off the field.
He's still limp -. they're carry
ing him off now. They're
transferring Malone to a stretch
er, and taking him to the dressing
room. T.. He must have stopped
a corker. Well give you some
word on the injury just as soon as
we can"
For just a second Susan went
rigid. but she forced herself to
relax. What was she getting so
concerned about? What if he did
get his head kicked in. the big
lug! The big spineless lug! What
did she care. =?
Five minutes later the an
nouncer said that Malone, al
though he had recovered con-
sclousnesS, was being, taken to a
hospital. Nothing serious. Just
observing precautions.
