"Go on, Astro," shouted the young Space Cadet. "Boot that screwy ball with everything you've got!" The three cadets of the Polaris unit raced down the Academy field toward the mercuryball, a plastic sphere with a vial of mercury inside. At the opposite end of the field, three members of the Arcturus unit ran headlong in a desperate effort to reach the ball first.

Boot that screwy ball with everything you ve got The three cadets of the Polaris unit raced down the Academy field toward the mercuryball a plastic sphere with a vial of mercury inside. At the opposite end of the field three members of the Arcturus unit ran headlong in a desperate effort to reach the ball first. Astro the giant Space Cadet from Venus charged toward the ball like a blazing rocket while his two unit mates flanked him ready to block out their opponents and give Astro a clear shot at the ball. On the left wing Tom Corbett curly-haired and snub-nosed ran lightly down the field while on the opposite wing Roger Manning his blond hair cut crew style kept pace with him easily. The two teams closed. Roger threw a perfect block on his opposing wingman and the two boys went down in a heap. Tom side-stepped the Arcturus cadet on his side and sent him sprawling to the ground. He quickly cut across the field and threw his body headlong at the last remaining member of the opposition. Astro was free to kick the ball perfectly for a fifty-yard goal. Jogging back toward their own goal line the three Polaris cadets congratulated each other. Astro s kick had tied the score two-all. That was some feint you pulled on Richards Tom said Roger. You sucked him in .
