Actually he was no more than a toddler, of course, but in this impulsiye play he was engineered by his puppy, Link. Xt was Duane Hogan who had brought Scooter the puppy.

ter boys. Plainly, Hogan of Lincoln Field had been headed for a touch- down. But the football rules were clear; Hogan's friendship with the two babies was, for once, just his hard luck. The ball was Lincolns s on the 39-yard line.
 Coolest man in all the the 10 min- utes of excitement was Duane Hogan himself. He just stood on the field holding Link and Scooter cupped in one arm, while every body else gestured and shouted. Blythe saw Nancy Hale, crying, run out toward Duane, then Blythe herself was busy helping dress minor injury on Norman Dana's leg. She didn't even notice the newsreel men grinding in their record of everything. She had trouble keeping back her own sobs for what had happened to Duane.
 The referee was clearing the field when people there heard Duane calling, There's still a minute left, Dana. I'd sure like another chance"
 Norman was standing again now, and readjusting his helmet. He answered loudly, cockily, T wanta try 1t myself"
 The sideline group was quiet again, but the murmurs and the glances spoke volumes. So Nor man Dana. conceited quarterback. was taking it on Duane! Duane ought to have the chance if any, body did. He had earned the right, he had the power; maybe if luck felt even a little contrite, he could have slipped once more through the fighting Aggies. But of course now with the spotlight focused so strongly, with the cam eramen and news writers eager to dramatize the next few plays, handsome Dana would call his own signal. Even the Aggies knew his reputation for conceit.
 Its just like himn Blythe mur- mured bitterly. He can't resist sharing that prominence that be- longs to Duane!'
 Electric silence gripped the CO., 900 tense spectators then. while the Lincolns huddled. The line men sprang to position: Aggie op- ponents crouched. Sure enough. Norman Dana was back in an old favorite formation "a T which would give him a chance for a wide sweep around left end. Nor- man was fast. Duane stood now as second interference man: that and that alone. Next moment Normans voice was rating.
 "okay, 27 - 37 - hike - hike HIKEl"
 On the third hike the ball flew back to him. He was smiling big, in that happy handsome way of his. Blythe gritted her teeth,
