Left Time Ball
264 words
The Separating White Line I glance up at the
scoreboard; the clock reads 2: 15 left in the
fourth quarter. My team is down by 3 points; we
have eighty-five yards to go, and have no time
outs left. I yell out the cadence and the center
snaps the oblong ball into my hands. Taking a
short three-step drop I glance to my left. The

Special Treatment High School College

When people think about discrimination, they
usually associate it with prejudice and connect it
with race and gender. But discrimination can take
another form. For example, a person can gain an
unfair advantage at a job interview by being
attractive or by being able to talk about
something that has nothing to do with the job,
like sports. The people who do not get the job

Sperber, Murray, Shake Down the Thunder: The
Creation of Notre Dame Football. Henry Holt and
Company. New York, 1993, pp 634. This book is
excellent. The author not only cheers the team on

team that many want to lose. He is very partisan
in the fact that he wishes for the reader to get
the whole story of the creation of a team that
would be a major factor in the history of
football. It is all about Americas ability to love
the team but also to hate...
