U. S. Football Star
‘Boots’ Bombs Out of
C t the Front
\ (By International News Service.)
MONTGOMERY, ALA., Feb, 18.
“You gotta quit kickin’ our bombs
around,” sang Missour{ regulars
I and volunteers with the Ameri
r' can -engineer division, when a '
. young sergeant of St. Louis, for
- mer” football star of an Ameri
. can university, placed his toe be
~ hind a bomb and lifted it into the
air and out into the woods on the
- slde of the American camp. '
" The story is told in a letter re
.~ ceived by a Montgomery woman
from her brother, who is serving
with the engineers in France.
Here 18 the story:
“We were on fatigue after the
mess on January ... About twen
ty Missouri boys were gathered
~ in a group singing college songs
and otherwise enjoying the brief
rest. All of a sudden a big, round
black article, much resembling
-the old-time football,. dropped In
the center of the Missouri bunch.
“It stuck, making a small dent
in the ground. Sergeant ........,
who used to play quarter on a
college eleven, calmly stepped up,
placed his toe nicely under the
bomb, swung his body gracefully
forward and the missile salled
through the alir like a football, al
though not as swift.
“The misslle landed In a small
piece of woods, some 20 yards to
the side, and exploded. No dam
age was done, except for the
scattering of weeds. It was a
German bomb and the Missouri
quarterback’s toe carried it away
from the danger line for the
Americans.
“One of the Missourli men
shouted: ‘Out of bounds,’ and the
others took up Champ Clark's
‘houndog’ parody, using the words
‘You gotta quit kickin' our
bombs around.’”
