...later did he learn that the wandering crow had lured him to the plant of the Barnabas Fireworks Co. He fell backwards off the log into the mud, fled across the creek, dropped his rifle, yanked off his shoes, dived into the Hackensack River and swam it like a beaver heading for a woodyard. As he emerged dripping, on the other side, he thought, dazedly, that he ought to call the fire department. This was unnecessary.

...grad-school spectators yelled anyway, because the four-man-plus team looked like champions for the first time this season. Holman threw a slow, deliberate offense at the Crusaders, in contrast to the usual fast-breaking Beaver style. With Romar and Warner alternating in the pivot, Holman's plays constantly drew the shifting man-to-man front line of defense out of position. The Crusaders had far more trouble with Holmans tight three-two zone. But the short of its was--the starting four lasted...
