iCost Plus (Continued from page six) in’ back on me.” By Thursday night I was beginning to worry about him and when I came to work Friday morning he wasn’t there. About ten o’clock the boss sent me to the office for some cable. Just as I got there I ran into Bill coming out with a check in his hand. He had on his old smile and looked like a health re sort ad. "Well, Kill, I see you finally made it. How’d you do it?” "Charlie, it was just one o’ them thing's that comes to a per fcon all of a sudden in times o’ ^ieed. I was gettin’ desperate. There wasn't but one way out an’ that was mighty expensive. Last night I couldn’t stand it no longer so I decides to let 'em have the sixty bucks an' just take out. I’d started rollin’ my bundle when it hit me like a yard bull.” "Pure inspiration, Bill, but what was it?” “Well, I just heaved a big sigh o’ relief an' turned in for the first good shuteye I’d had in a week.” “But how the devil did you get through the office?” “Oh, I just now went in to see the super an’ told him about that Zambango fever that’s been both erin’ me lately. ’Well, don’t come around-here. Go on over and see the camp doc,’ he says, ‘but what th’ devil's Zambango fever?’ Kon’t know exactly,’ says I, ocs here don’t know much about it either. Comes on slow an’ keeps gettin’ worse for about a month. Only man I know who kin cure it’s an old army doc up in Portland. Did a hitch in the Philippines himself. Guess I’ll havta go up an’ see him again. Takes about a month to cure it.’ Well the super just kinda grinned and sunk down in his chair. ‘You win, Martin,’ he says an’ tells the timekeeper to write her out. Uhoh, there comes the bus. So long, Charlie. See you in Podunk, maybe.” Bill took off for the highway in a dead run. Never seen him Since. The reason why The sky is blue I Is that God up there Is lonely too. —Ted Harmon.

The first inning was a warm-up period and only one run was scored. Betty Jane White, the red-headed pitcher from Susan Camnbell. fired the ball over the elate for called strikes. The all-star player from Chi O, Nancy Lewis, hit a beautiful two bagger and then came in on over throws to chalk up the one and only point scored by her team. At the end of the third inning the Chi Omegas put a new pitcher on the mound. Beverly Cameron went in for Nancy Lewis, but this still did not stop the Suzy girls. Their score climbed steadily. Su san Campbell's softball ten has developed a fair defensive setup and have shown some of the best fielders at work so far this season. No Thetas On the east end of the Gerlinger field, Pat Carson took the Sigma Kappas through a rapid practice period. It seems that not one member of Kappa Alpha Theta was present to battle with the Sigma Kappas. It is the first game to be defaulted and Josephine Re gianto hopes it will be the last. “It should be considered,’’ said Manager Reginato, "that this sea son is short and every game should be played on schedule. Games will be postponed on ac count of rain, only.” Rather Wet Other softball fields were being used although still rather wet. Hendricks hall girls were almost to the music building. Only five members were present at the practice and they say the rest are in the infirmary. Wednesday night they have their first game and it seems they're rounding up all the crutches and wheel chairs on the campus for their team. They are utterly confident, how ever, that they have a fair chance of winning Highland softball fans gathered behind the outside gym to smooth up their playing for a game to day. Hilyard girls were on the green to the west of Gerlinger dodging in and out of the trees D(Js, Sig Eps Top IM Loop (Continued from fotie four) and scoring: three runs. Warren and DiBenedetto with two scores apiece were also po tent for the winners while Cool, Weber, Roberts, and Rossuni put up a. game for the Omega-Gam ma club. Delta Tau Delta had a world of stuff yesterday in waxing Fi Kappa Alpha, 11 to 2. Harrison of the losers pitched fine ball and also showed power at the plate lacing out three blows to lead the Pi Kan club in a losing bat tle. Larson of the Delt. crew let down his opponents with eight scattered hits, and was never threatened as he was plenty tight in the pinches. The Dolts got to Harrison in the second, third and six to tally three runs in each of those frames. Collins, AVliisnand, and Wil borne with two runs apiece were the batting giants of the win ners. Harrison, the losing chucU er tried hard to win his own ball game and he came through with the only two scores of the game. and wandering through the shrubs in search of balls walloped by Aleanor Patterson.
