My career in Football

My parents attended Washburn College in Topeka. So did my two sisters and my brother. When my father was in Washburn he was Captain of the football team. While he was captain was the last time Washburn beat KU. When my brother was in school he was the waterboy. We were glued to our radio when they broadcast the game waiting for them to say,"The waterboy just came on the field." He carried a bucket and one dipper and they all drank out of the same dipper. While I was in Washburn, the Girl's Pep Club decided to put on a game as halftime entertainment. I was the center. My girl friend Margaret's sister was the quarterback. We picked her because she weighed the least. Over the loudspeaker they said "Burkhardt is covering the ball." My father finally got his last name on the loud speaker system. I threw the ball to Marian and she ran for a touchdown and then we boosted her on our shoulders and carried her back. I think my father was grateful.
