Catch That Pass! (2009)
“11 Jim practiced with the squad on Monday. During scrimmage he wished a pass would be thrown to some receiver near him so he could test himself. He wasn’t worried a bit about his burned arm. His mom had put ointment and a clean bandage on it. He felt brand-new again.
He didn’t get a chance to intercept a pass. Doug praised him though on breaking through the line and bringing down the ballcarrier.
“Just running last week seems to have done you good, Jim,” he said. “You’ve picked up speed.”
“Know what happened?” broke in Bucky Hayes. “He skidded on a banana peel and got banana oil on his knee joints.”
Doug chuckled. “Pardon me for that peel of laughter,” he punned. “Okay, let’s try a couple more plays. Then run around the field twice and we’ll call it quits.”
Practice proceeded normally on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday Jim’s wish was answered.
