midfield plung- David Bloom The Funniest Things Can Happen A Bouncing Pass Turned A Football Game A Wrong Way Run Or Two A Wrong Way Kick TUSCALOOSA Ala Nov 1 The other day Sam Johngton the old Central center dropped into our aporta corner to cut up a few touches after serving S3 months with the infantry in the Pacific islands and we were chewing the rag about thia and that when Parson Teague (better known as of the austere voice on your radio) barged in to make it a threesome Ant the talk got around to very unusua things that happen in sport ought to be a book about it" said Parson I remember Well we'd start our book with something that happened right here on Denny Field on the University of Alabama campus back in the 'way yonder days when Southwestern had just moved to Memphis and Jess Neely had worked himself up a pretty good football team This represented opportunity to Southwestern and the Lynx were grasping it They battled Wallace Alabama team all over the lot and were even-Steven with a minute to go before the end of the half Alabama holding the ball at midfield elected a pass A Southwestern lineman diagnosing the play rose to his full height and was cracked squarely on the headgear with the ball and knocked cold But the perverse obloid instead of hitting the ground ricocheted high in the air was grabbed by Brother Brown an Alabama back who went hurtling to a touchdown It roke the dam and the Tide flooded Southwestern as expected That whose name is now lost in a foggy was a sissy compared to a catcher named Yam Yaryan who once labored for the Chicks but at the time of this incident was wearing the pads for Birmingham A Memphis pitcher was pretty wild with Yaryan at bat et go a fast ball that had Yam petrified He was only able to duck hia head The ball hit him on the back of he skull and bounced almost to the top of the grandstand Yam sat down and players started running up while the crowd gaped aghast The Yam saw the players coming scrambled up waved them disdainfully aside grasped his dudgeon and finished his turn at bat without even shak-ng hia head And HU Face Waa Red But back to Lieutenant Johnston and Mr Teague and the talk Said Parson: "You know I think about the funniest thing ever aw in football waa the time in the Vanderbilt-Auburn game when somebody pulled a etrip-teaee on Peck Owens Peck wae a fait kid and Vandy put him in when it waa near the other goal line Well this time Peck had the baU going goalward with an Auburn boy in pursuit The pursuer aaw he tackle Peck Juat grabbed anyway He caught hold of belt and Peck eurged forward in a sort of leap Aa he did tha belt and cloth split and with Peck in the air hia panto were completely peeled off in plain view of a very large crowd Peck told me after the game have run for the dressing room if I could have gotten untangled from those things "Speaking of running" said Johnston "I aaw Vie Bradford of Central run 200 yards to get a touchdown against Southwestern freshmen They got him hemmed up and he cut from one aide of the field to the other croeeed about five times and finally made it over the goal line And then he fell out It seemed like that play took 10 minutes" That wae largely the Chicken High technique when the little fellow waa playing with the Lynx He xigged and sagged more than any guy thia department ever saw Once we aaw him taka tha ball from the center on hie 30-yard line go back to pass start dodging thia way and that until ha waa behind hia own goal line Finally he found hie field broken up and in the proper high manner ran 100 yards or eo for the touchdown getting credit for a 70-yard advance Teague promptly recalled a prep school back who In plunging a short distance from the goal line got confused ran 100 yards in tha wrong direction then 100 yards in tha right and got hia touchdown after alL Sort of a Roy Rlegela proposition the moat famous of tha wrong way griddera ran tha ball back over hie goal line to give Georgia Tech an 8-7 Roes Bowl victory over hie California team KUkofta All The Way Johnston jogging up hia memory brought back a wrong-way kick that many Memphians will remember Dago TTelawney a very fine boo ter waa the perpetrator "You know" said Sam "this waa a pretty tight game and he took a mighty swipe at the ball and kicked It back over hie and for some distance Teague: "Reminds me of a fellow named Kirech I knew who played with only in reverie Thia waa a freshman game and there any acora until a minute or so before the game ended And then this Kirech up end kicked a 65-yard dropkidf to win and with a wet ball too" Frosty Peters who played with the old Memphis Tigers waa tha greatest drop or place kicker thia department ever saw but a guy named Gardner who played for Arkansas made two of the greatest kicks and neither counted At old Fargason Field back In the lata the goal posts of course were right behind the goal line This Gardner a lineman kicking off from hia 40-yard line toed a perfect placement not only between the bars but over the stands out of the field aa well And then a couple of kickoffa later he duplicated it And It waa at Southwestern that we saw how far a guy could pass too Early Maxwell waa sponsoring a boy named Joe Fuqua who eventually played for He said he could pass a ball 100 yards We doubted it five bucks worth So thia Fuqua goea out to Far-gaaon Field takes a abort run and throws tha ball from goal line to goal line And repeated it twice (It worth the five fish) Throwe That Go Down In HUtory Aa for baseball Teague again: "Joe Jackson had quite an arm and one day when ha wae playing In the Nashville park he waa shooting down runners except once With a man on eecond somebody hit a abort single to center Joe came tearing in got the ball on tha first hop and fired it clean over the grandstand Into Fourth Avenue" And that brought up recollection of the Memphis debut of a pitcher named Alex who ia still knocking around In organised ball Doe Pro thro brought him over and Alex waa fast awfully fast For three innings ha mowed the opposition down with a wisp of white In the fourth he cut loose with one that hit halfway up the grandstand screen He had to take hie left arm to lift hie right arm on the journey to the clubhouse There must be a million of those stories Memphians win doubtless remember one sunny afternoon when two umpires rushed to call a play at third base and simultaneously one called the runner out end the other called him safe And the time that Murray Howell the big outfielder hit a ball that caromed off tha laundry outside Ruaewood Park and he waa almost thrown out at first base Or that awful occasion when tha Chick pitcher Alton Benton fielded a bunt whirled and threw to third base only to find no Chick guardian there and had to run down the ball thrown along the left field stands Yep all you have to do ia turn on tha spigot and the reminiscences flow and flow Fofra Nucleus Of Marquette Gage Team
