...about four o'clock in the morning he heard someone knocking at his door; when he went to open it he was overpowered, bound by three men who had already entered the house and were hiding in the hall.

He was admitted through the front door, knocked down, laid beside Jailer Taylor. The visitors drove off with their dark, gibbering prey...

Heard, 1928 quarterback, ran back a punt 30 yards to, the Senior 20-yard mark, and half a dozen slashes through the line took the ball across the line, Barbee tallying on the last plunge. In the second and fourth quarters, sustained offenses yielded two touchdowns, and another drive bore fruit in the form of a field goal from the 20-yard streak...
