Itot that I mind," she told
d "hut whv the short notice?"
"Just one of those things. It
started out with Just 8 half dozen
of the boys deciding on the idea.
Sounded so good we decided to
make a fraternity affair out of it
Probably wind up having cider
and doughnuts at Fine Ridge
Inn."
That would be fun, too, she
figured, as she hung up. Next
problem was what to wear. Not
so much a proniem at that. Her
olive green slacks and beige car
digan would be just the thing.
Dr. Elbert's lecture on Croatian
immigration wasn't particularly
appealing to Joan next day.
Keith on her right was in a
semi-doze, running his pencil
through his hair and staring out
the window.
She nudged Dan' on her left.
"Hey, sour-puss got a date for
the hayride?". she whispered.
"And if so, how'd you manage
it?"
He looked up. "Not yet," he
hissed. "Know any dame who'd
like to spend a miserable eve
ning?" She poker Keith. "Our little
ray of sunchine doesn't have a
date for Friday night. What do
we do about it?"
Keith closed one eye. "Aw, he
can sit up front with the driver."
"Haw," she chuckled softly.
When she looked around she
noticed it was very quiet. Dr. El
bert had stopped talking and was
looking straight down at her.
"Perhaps, young lady," he be
gan, sarcastically, "perhaps you
would like to deliver this lec
ture?"
She felt herself growing red.
Then from her immediate left
there came a loud, explosive:
"Haw!"
There was near-murder in the
look she turned on Dan Webber
as Dr. Elbert resumed his lec
ture.
"Worm," she muttered.
Dan grinner. 'Weah, and look
at 'im turn."
Keith phoned just after dinner
Thursday night and said he was
coming over for a few minutes.
She was going to the library so
he drove her over.
"Something's up," she guessed,
"Let's hear it."
"Something's up Is right," he
repeated mournfully. "I can't go
on that hayride tomorrow night.'
"What's the matter?" she ask-

ed, after the first twinge of dis
appointment had worn off.
"It's like this Coach wants to
take advantage of this open date
and do a little scouting. So he's
UKing Barney Hughes. Johnnv
White, and myself to see Pitt in
night game tomorrow.
"We've had an assistant coach
scouting them all season, but the
Old Man wants to get in a few
personal touches."
"But why should he need all
three of you?"
well, Barney's captain, of
course. Johnny being quarter
back, Slocum wants him to check
into Pitt's defensive setups so's he
can get a line on what stuff to
use against them. And me I
dunno exactly why he wants me
along but he wants me, and Old
Man Slocum isn't the kind of
gent that can be talked out of
anything."
"Not even by the ereat Keith
Rhodes, hey?"
He laughed. "Get temDeramen-
tal with Slocum and you find
yourself on the bench."
They parked in the library
drive for a while, "And how I
was looking forward to that hay
ride," she said glumly.
Look," he said, taking her
hand. "I don't want to disaonoint
you, and I've got an idea that I
think will work out swell, I'll
call you about it tonight. You
ought to be home by then."
He let her out and drove back
the Gamma house. He ran
upstairs three at a time, barged
into his room and confronted a
surprised Dan Webber.
"Take it easy," Dan said. "You
came in there like a 63 reverse
to the weak side."
"Yeah man, and I've got to get
myself a first down." He strad
dled a chair. "Daniel, my boy,
you were one of the less fortun-
te souls who didn't bother to
get a date for the hayride to
morrow night, wern't you?"
"Go 'head, brainstorm, go
head."
"Well, I've got a date for you."
"You mean maybe you have a
date for me. Who is it your dear
cousin Tillie from Pumpkin Hol
low?"
Keith grinned. "Nope it's Joan
Johnson."
Dan's feet were on his desk.
They came down with a crash.
Who?" he howled. "Did I hear
correctly?"
"You did," Keith said calmly.
What's more, you're going to do
me a very great favor and take
her on that hayride.
He explained the situation, but
Dan was dubious. "In the first
place I wouldn't take that dame
to a beetle rassle. In the second
place she probably wouldn't go
with me.
Keith hit him on the head with
pillow. "Okay okay, so you
don't like her too much. But this
is one time you're gonna make
sacrifice. And don t worry about
her refusing. Ill take care of
that part. C'mon howzabout?"
Dan grinned. "On second
thought," he said, "why not?"
