Field Marshal Rommel had called for time out on the one-yard line. After marching nearly the length of the field in an unbroken series of power plays, he needed to pull his team together for the last effort.

...going to succeed whom in political office. Only seven months in his job, Governor Zárate thought the choice of topic indelicate. He moved resentfully over to the bar. Equally hurt, Fernando followed him, relieved his offended feelings by drawing his pistol on his political papa. The one-yard range compensated for poor visibility: Zárate slumped with six fatal slugs in the belly. Fernando fled. Later he was caught and jugged.

Lowell lumbied a punt on the one-yard line, Winthrop recovered, and on the next play Jimmy Lynch scored on a reverse. Dick Loomis stopped the Bellboy drive in the second period and completed one at his own 25, wound through the opposition and raced 75 yards to the goal line...
