Tom Chaney: Review of Playing for Pizza

Of Writers and Their Books. A review of John Grisham's Playiing for Pizza

By Tom Chaney

I was on the Caverna High School football team for one year -- 1952, the longest season on record. In those days we played six-man football. You might recall that the six-man variety had a peculiar rule. When a team got 45 points on its opponent, the game was over.

My position must have been crucial. Coach Sidwell called on me at least twice during the season. Both times we were about 40 points or so ahead. He would send me in to get hit on the side of the line where the ball was not so we could get the game over with and go for hamburgers. We had not heard of pizza.<

I had a wonderful Sunday School teacher, Mr. Garnett Loy.I believe he served in World War I. He also had a son Hindman Loy. I believe he served in World War II. Would you please add these names to your list.
