CHAPTER EIGHT IYT WAS a’ cool, misty afternoon ’ when Tech played Marquette. [There was a strong hint of rain ‘in the air and the girls wore light |'oilskin slickers over their coats. « “Don’t give a hoot for myself,” Joan grumbled, “but the experts insist were a dry field team, or {something like that.” |$ “What you mean is Keith [Rhodes needs a dry field to get | going,” Elaine remarked slyly. +. “Come to think of it, Keith was | "hoping it wouldn’t rain because he says he doesn’t like mud cleats.” But the game hadn’t been under | Way five minutes when a slight | drizzle began to fall. | « Neither team cared to take | £hances, but midway in the first | fuarter Johnny White, Tech's | quarterback, decided to open up. | The ball came back to Keith in | ‘the tailback position. It was a | pass. Keith faded back, looking over his potential receivers, and Saw Barney Hughes just about to break into the clear in the flat | territory. : He whipped the ball over. Mar- | Zguette’s defensive left half streaked over to cover Hughes, leaped high in the air and virtually took the ball out of Barney’s hands. ©. He came down in stride and Keith,

| Yecovering, started over to cut him

off. He was just about to make the tackle when someone cut his feet from under him with a beau.tiful block. The Marquette man * scampered 52 yards down the sidelines to the goal. The Tech fans recovered from the shock just enough to roar with hope when Marquette missed the extra point. 2 2 2 IT REALLY began to rain when “the second half started and with ‘the field turning to gooey, sticky ‘mud, Marquette’s six-point lead looked as big as a mountain. Time slipped by. No score in the “third quarter. The heavier Marquette team protected its lead, played strictly defensive football, _ Eight minutes to go in the last quarter and it looked bad. The Tech stands were silent but still ‘hopeful. If only the field were dry.

If only Keith Rhodes could break

away just once. But no—the turf was like a piece of green glass. A ball carrier’s legs swere sliced from under him at the slightest touch, it was. so slippery. . Six minutes. Too gooey to take a°'chance passing. Tech got the ball : at midfield - when Marty Gallagher recovered a fumble. It was then or never and Johnny White engineered _his final drive.

‘trickled off Joan’s hat and into her 2

out of the huddle into a single wing to the right, with Tony Mangano in the tailback position. Marty Gallagher snapped the ball.

into the line. Keith, playing the “wingback, slipped around, topk the ball from Johnny and was off toward the opposite end. Joe Donchek, who had pulled out of the line, and Dan Webber were leading the way. The Marquette tackle broke through, but Donchek tied into him and dumped him on the spot. ’ Rhodes ran with his free hand almost touching Webber's back, sticking close and feeling his way. The Marquette end swooped in on them, but Webbér cut sharply in-

\ gide the tackle position, Keith prac-

tically treading on his heels.

Dan’s shoulder bounced the end|-

aside and they were through and gown the sidelines. : « Forty thousand people stood on their feet and almost went berserk. - The Marquette safety man charged across the field. Dan smashed into him, surely, viciously. They both went down in a puddle of mud as Rhodes went by and slithered over the goal line. Then, with Johnny White holding, Tony Mangano steped into the ball and split the crossbar for the seventh point. The gun went off two minutes Jater and it was all over. : » » 2

THEY WERE scheduled for a history mid-term the following Wednesday and Keith suggested that the three of them study together Tuesay night. > g "A lot you'll be able to offer us,” Joan scoffed, “but if it’s okay with Sunshine, here, it’s okay with me.” Dan grimaced. “It's okay with Sunshine. - Guess I can stand it if you ean.” . “Really?” The word dripped ice. “Hey—wait!” Dan added hastily. “Don’t get me wrong. I'm referring to the ordeal of pounding European immigration into . this

guy's head. You could put all his]

notes on the cuff of my shirt.” Keith registered indignation. “Say, I'm no dummy, y'know.” “A moot point,” Dan murmured, and Joan laughed out loud. Por .almost three hours they crammed, going over Joan’s and Dan’s notes. Keith would have been lost without them.» Most of the time was spent in wearily tracing the important things for his benefit. » » »

I through the open window and she stared at it unblinkingly. | She wondered if Carol and some of the other girls werent right about Keith. Was he just a/glamor boy with dazzling personality? She recalled one of Carol's first remarks about him . . . he thought life. was a lark, and had never

heard of cli aed, vine

? once, expecting others to come to his aid when the going got rough.. Too bad Keith didn’t have a little of Dan Webber's conscience and ambition . . . but superficial people rarely had much conscience. Just before she dropped off to sleep she wondered if Keith wasn’t just a little too superficial.
