Storytelling time: 4
Two southern teams were
playing for the championship
of their conference. On one
team a giant fullback from the
hills was doing all the work.
Time after time he carried the
ball gaining five yards At a
crack. He drove to the ten
yard line Of the other team,
then to the six then to the four.
Just as he carried the bah to
the one foot line the gun sound
ing the end Of the quarter
barked. The referee picked up
the ball and started down to
the other end of the field. The
fullback, who hadn't heard the
gun walked beside him until
they reached the other one foot
mark. In desperation he said,
''Mr. Referee, that is the un-
fairest penalty I ever did see."
