There, he started to tell the folks how happy he was to "be back home again" when two youngsters surged forward and asked him for his autograph.

Shea hauled one of the boys up tc the bandstand, and asked, "Are you scared, kid?" The boy replied, "No." "Well you talk then," said Shea. "I am." Spec managed to get going again with his speech, but a big crowd of kids and some adults as w'ell started pressing forward in the hope of getting his autograph. They battered down the "Welcome Home Spec" sign on the bandstand, and tore away a few boards from the bandstand itself Police intervened, and formed a cordon which permitted Shea to make a getaway. left end, reversed his field in the secondary and dashed 56 yards for a touchdown.
