Frederickson batted down two
sure-fire passes.
The third quarter opened with
an exchange of fumbles, NJ & M
getting possession on their own
AZ. The Big Reds drove to Cald-
wells Is despite some fine
tackles by Dayle Miller, Larry
Brown, Don Bridgeman and
Jerry Heddleson. Then with
third and eight on the 13, Larry
Brown dumped the next play for
a 16-yard loss to the 90 and
Larry Estadt dropped the next
play, for a Vineyard setback,
giving Caldwell the ball on their
own 38.
This fine defensive effort by
the Caldwell line proved the
spark for a third touchdown as
the fired-up Redskins marched
81 yards to score.

halfbacks moved the ball to

went on over the goal line for

On the next kickoff, Caldwell

Watson's kick into the Big Red
end zone and covered it for a
Redskin touchdown. This was
the lesson, learned so expensive

Sam Bates attempted to add
the extra point on a pass to

was broken up leaving the
score $50 at the end of the
third period.
The fourth quarter saw Cald-

stand, taking the ball away from
M & NJ on the four, at a time
when it looked like the Big Reds
vaunted ground attack was be-
ginning to roll.
After being penalized back to
the one, Frederickson broke
loose for Is yards to the 16, but
when Bates attempted a short
pass on third down, Francis
Maxwell shared the interception
and brought it back to the seven.
Ray Watson stopped the first
play after a tw0-yard gain,

At 6:24 pm. EST. Christmas Eve. the
priority message from Thule reached the enor-
nous plotting room of the Eastern Defense
Command, NewbWgh, New York. A bogey
had slipped past Thule. Interception had
been unsuccessful. and the pilot had returned
to base. The bogey was headed for Labrador
or Newfoundland at better than 400 miles an
hour, estimated altitude $1,000 feet.
Upon the shoulders of Major Hayden. an
ace in two wars but the youngest and least
experienced officer on the senior staff. rested
the awful responsibility for the safety and
security of the vital third OF the United States,
from Chicago east to the Atlantic. This was
normal, on Christmas Eve, for alone among
the Master Controllers Major Hayden was
bachelor.
MAJOR HAYDEN was not alarmed at this first
report The days intelligence forecasts showed
that the world. this season. was comparatively
peaceful. Also it was only one plane, and
Major Hayden did not believe an attack
would be launched by one plane, or even 90

Besides, the bogey could be reasonably
explained. One of his plotting boards showed
every aircraft, military and commercial. aloft
on the approaches to the Eastern states. The
bogey could be British Comet which had
announced it was going far north to seek the
jet stream. 1t could be scandinavian air
liner looking for Goose Bay. 1t could be most
anything.
Major Hayden ordered miniature plane
set upon the plotting board at the spot this
bogey ought to be, according to its projected
course and speed. A red flag, showing it was
unidentified. topped this plane. He would
keep his eyes on it.
