Eye run to the 20 yard line with nothing but time on the side line eye look for you and there you aer wide open as eye hit you with the bomb eye sprint with both arms open up in the imitation of the goal posts.Eye want to be a football hero. Football Stories
As a boy Fitzgerald dreamed of becoming a footbakll hero. He contributed “Football,” a poem, to his prep school magazine, the Newman News:
. . . Look! their end acts like an ass.
See, he’s beckoning for assistance,
Maybe it’s a forward pass.
Yes, the ball is shot to fullback,
He, as calmly as you please,
Gets it, throws it to the end; he
Pulls the pigskin down with ease. . . .
(F. Scott Fitzgerald in His Own Time, pp. 3-4)
