She dug out by the roots sev- eral chunks of Bermuda sod and care- fully wrapped them in tissue. Then she went to the water fountain and soaked them. Into her purse went sod from Memorial Stadium. When my dad came into the stands to find her, he quickly noted her purse would not close. The turf was spotted, and they embraced. She knew my dad. It would be transplanted the next after- noon when they returned to Westmont Circle. I'd tell you the exact address, but it might cause a stir if someone tried to "dig" around. I'm sure that grass has survived all these years. I know where the heart of that "strain" of Bermuda started in the northwest corner of the back yard. I can still see my father moving the sprinkler as he cared for it. I was only 10, but it's a great memory. I'd ask him what he was doing, and he'd say, "I'm watching the grass grow." I was too young to understand why there were different strains across the backyard, but either me, or one of my three brothers would delight him by asking, "What's what, Dad? Where is the 319, 412 — and the Texas turf ?" My dad would point in the corner and proclaim proudly, "That is the Holy Royal Turf." A victory over Texas has inspired a coach to describe it as borderline erotic. I like holy better. Clay Henry can be reached at chenry@ nwadg.com.
