...While Clint Frank, considered by many grid followers as the outstanding back of the East, gives the starting backfield a slight edge, this advantage is overbalanced by the eight first-string backs which Coach Howie Odell has been able to provide for the game. Struck and Hedblom at fullbacks; McTernen, Roberts, Oakes, and Stuart at wingbacks; and Wilson and Boston at quarterback will be substituted for each other with bewildering rapidity, keeping the attack quartet fresh at all times. And in case these eight should get winded, Ford and Watt have both rated starting berths during the season...

Just before the shot that ends his story Clint takes a last look at the woods where his parents got him: "They're mighty purty right this minute, they shore are. The leaves is all red an' yaller, an' they're a-movin' gentle-like, back an' forth, back an' forth, jest enough to let you know they're there. This is the fall o' the year, with...
