Tuesday, February 6, 1934 COYOTES DEFEAT EASTEMOREGON QUINTET 40-21 Afflicted with name kind of a Jinx that kept the basketball from going through, the hoop, and making mat' tern worse with too much rough stuff, the Eastern Oregon Normal school lost to College ol Idaho here last night 40 to 21. There wasn't so much superiority in floor work on the part of Coach Loren Basler's men, but they were caging their shots much better, and endeavoring to play the game of bas ketball. As an example of what the Moun taineers were mixing with their bas ketball, one might note the foul col umn in the summary which follows further down in this story. Anyway, the showing of the Z. O. i N. quintet was quite disappointing. During the first half, the Mountain eers scored exactly three points, all on free throws. In the meantime the Coyotes counted five field goals and six free throws. Coach Bob Qulnn, before the naif ended, yanked his first team and put In the seconds in an attempt to stop unnecessary roughness. Later In the game, he mixed 'em up. and for a few minutes In the second half, they looked like a basketball team, running their score from 3-19 to 12-19. But then 8wan caged a field goal for Idaho, and the spell was broken never to knit again. Petterson, who was off on his shoot ing, was the only Mountaineer who played much ball without fouling. Ail tilib Others hod pSToCnnlS, ECCT5 and Crawford four each, except Wood ell, who only played about two min utes. i. i- it i Worthley turned an ankle early In the game and had to be replaced.

Orahame ie conducting a one-man zc-rch tor Bill L-.-.:'o. evt". who craehed mtmlftj ago on the Yucatan eoaet. Frank hoe pro posed to Janice and been retueed. Ortega fust hae explained why he dodged a ilexican eunooat. Chapter 18 QUARREL flRTEOA glanced toward the firm- ly battened hatch. The young man laughed cgnln. "! kn?w the gunboat was In these waters. 1 havo a friend In the customs." Grahame watched the vessel head toward the distant horizon. It oc curred to him that Ortega's eiplana tlon was rather weak; also Uiat ho did not seem anxious nether Gra hame believed it or not. The atti tude ot the big Mexican and his crew had been ono ot reserve the previous day; today it seemed that they felt toward him a new familiar it.. Perhaps Grohamo's Indifference toward . Ortega's Inference that thore was good roason for hlB want Ing to ovaclo civilization had some thing to do with tholr affability. It did not jorlurb him at all. If Or tega's operations wore Illegal, thoy did not concern him, and It was none of his business. At duBk thoy continued their Jour ney. Once in the night Grahame was awakened by the stopping of the engine. For a half hour they rocked motlonlossly on the sea as the lights of a steamer passed a mile or two distant, In the opposite direction, Grahame shrewdly sus pected it was tho gunboat patrolling back the way It had come. The next dny thoy rounded Capo Catoche and sailed south. They passed aomo low-lying Islnnds, and onco several miles to their left a fruit liner overtook them and steamed on. It looked like a white gull hovering at liorlzon-lovoi. The day was unnvcntful. The crew took turns at the wheol, and Orahame and Ortega sat on tho deck houso and smoked. Orahame asked tho big man when thoy would bo at tho Island and was answered that it would bo tomorrow, In the afternoon poruaps. Ortega seemed to bo pondering. "1 was 'hlnklng," ho said, "thai your Island would not bo the plnco you want to go. It would bo snfor on the mulnlanil." Grahame smllod. "You told mo It was unsafe on tho mainland." "But V have been thinking. 1 could uso you at my hacienda. It would bo hard work, often. And you could mako some money. " havo plonty ot money." He caught Ortega looking at hltn ap- pralslngly. "Still a man can always u e moro money." Why not go Willi Ortega, ho thought. Aftor nil, his Idea was not to romaln at the Island, but tc uso It as a baso at which be could make Inquiries as to tho mainland back ot tho coast. Thoso that sailed along thoso bar ren bonches must bo ncqunlntod with many queer types that wanted nothing hotter than to go unrecog nized and unquestioned. "What .s tho Interior llko behind your plnco?" ho asked. OrlcRn shrugged his shnuldors "Nobody knows. No ono has over been thero. Very dangerous." -M1AIIAMIC mado bis decision. "I'll go with you tc your hacl enda." ho snld. "I won't promise to work for you. until 1 lock It ovor. It I decide not to stay, I will pay you for my lodging and loavo. All right?" Orlega nodded mid smiled a Vn as ho looked at Grnhnmo. ."All right." ho snld. Ahead of the launch l patch about a hundred yards In clrctiuiforenco showed yellow agnlnst tho hluo of the surrov.ndlnx sea. Grahame thought It was a reef until tho launch bonded Into It and stopped. Tlio crow threw canvas buckets overboard and hauled them In brim ming with clear water. Juan, tho good-humored young stor. dipped a tin cup full and hold It out to Grnhoino. "Kresca," ho said. "It Ij fresh, drink " Grahamo drank. It was cool and trojh. decidedly belo.v tlicJotnpern turo of the sen's surface, it had a slight uislo of vegetation; Grahame thought It was vory curious. Ortega witnessed his amazement and offered an explanullrn. "There are many such along the coast here. It Is the mouth ol a strcnm thai empties out from tho land under the sea. It Is like a well In the bottom of tho sea. Tho mon llkt to drink It because It Is cooler than the water In the :asks." Washington. ' Here last night University of Ore gon became the third conference team to Buffer five or more defeats. The Huskies tied the tcore with two zoom ing long shots In the last 51 seconds of regular play. Cook, a substitute guard, oaged two short shots In the overtime period and the Hackles won. 34 to 32. ' Bud Jones, Oregon guard, sank long shot for the WebfooU' only tal ile In the overtime melee. . Three missed free throws told the rest, as far as Oregon was concerned. The Webfoote added to their 10 to 9 half-time lead and apparently had the game tucked away when Galer and Merrtn scratched do or die moots. The Huskies dldnt die. Galer added 14 more polnU to hie season's total. Robertson scored 10 points for Oregon. GODDESS iy HerLert Jensen That night Orahame thought of Janice. It should have been that the distance that separated her from blm would also tend to keep bis thoughts ot her equally far away. But it was not so. Her eyes, swept by their long lashes, looked directly at blm. He would have liked to have reached out and touched ber shining hair. It was senseless to think about It Here be was down along the coast ot Qulntana Roo, trying to forgot her. Excitement, adventure, were the caustics to apply to the wound she bad dealt him. There was some-, thing In that country beyond the dull shore line that outsiders were not supposed to see. He was going In to look. . - , Langton's plane, buffeted by tho southern hurricane, might have crashed In thero. It was not beyond reasonable theory. Quintans Roo contained thousands of square miles that had not been inhabited slnco the dim centuries when pagan priests caused tall pyramids to be erected to tholr bloody gods. The wreckage of Langton's plane might well be hidden In there. Thore might be other things bid den. He was going In soon to soo. 'T'HB I I of E launch slid between the roota mangroves that gripped tho shores ot a lagoon which was like a narrow river except that the water was salt. They chugged along un til they wero two or three miles In land from the coast, when the pas sage widened Into a lake several hundred yards In circumference. Thoy edged Inward toward a small wharf extending at water lovel several yards Into the lako. The water's edgo back of the whart had beou cleared and In the clearing woro several flimsy buildings ot palm-thatch.' The launch was tied up at the wharf and the hatch unbat toned. Grahame bolped with the unload ing. As the first case slid from the dock to the plor be uttered an ex clamation. The site and weight of the case was unmistakable. Ortoga and bis two helpers paused to watch him. "Someone Is going hunting, I soo," he rcmarkod dryly. Ortega's reply was equally Ironic. "In this country," bo said, "there Is always hunting." Tho unloading was accomplished without further comment. Grahame estimated thai In the cargo there wero cnaos containing at least two hundred rides and a substantial amount of ammunition. Sufficient, certainly, to oqulp quite a llltlo army, as numbers went in thoso countries. Ho was puzzled, howovor, to know what a band jf men bent on making trouble -ould do in this Iso lated part ot Moxlco. In tho first place, the torrltory hereabouts was uninhabited according to all roports.' Evon If the man-power were avail able, It would be impractical for thorn to strike through the Junglos to tho nearest civilized atato, which was Yucatan. Furthermore, It would not be stra gotlc to dominate Yucatan, slnco that state was Isolatod, n.ore or less, from Moxlco propor. Grahame knew enough of revolutions and tholr technique tc appreciate that olo mont. Why. thon. thin warlike equipment landed at this point? Ortega brought up tho subject that evonlng. "Thero aro Indians In tho Intorlor hero that wish equip ment with which to dotond thorn- solves 1 know what you aro think ing. You think bocaust you havo honrd rumors ot revolution In MrjIco, that thoso guns aro for tho revolutionists. . . "It Is not so. True, thore Is a revolution browing Just now, that Is why 1 avoided the gunboat tho other day. Thoy are on the watch tor smugglod arms and it would bo ombarasslug for mo to b-. searched. Out this cargo Is to be used solely for defense. I have brrught many such. 1 have boon well paid." "How do thoy pay you?" "With gold," rcpMed Ortega shortly, "and other goods. In the morning wo will leaio and go far ther south. I wish to pick up nn- othcr cargo, and return to Progrcso. hen I return hero, these cases will bo gone nnd the payment will bo In a placo I know of." "I would llko to talk to thoso poo- plo who come for your shipment." Ortega's voice was harsh when he nnswored. "You cannot do thst. Even I never see them only one man. whom I meet south of here at Puerto Morelos. It is there 1 pick up my other cargo that I take to Progroso.
