She had agreed, when Nancy telephoned her, to help Pop while Nancy ran an, er rand downtown. She turned the earner of the building In time to Bee a man leave by the main door. The man waa a Btranger. He wore a derby, and an overcoat with collar turned up. He almost trotted out front, to a taxlcab which had been waiting. He didn't ace Blythe at all, and she walked on In. When she entered Pop'a office, though, something In the very at mosphere arrested her. "Golly, Pop, you look like Mus ellnll Sitting there red-faced, with your lip all pooched out!" He didn't answer, but quickly he took a fat envelope from the desk top and stuck it In the middle drawer. Blythe noted, with fresh surprise, that his hand was trem- . bllng. His eyes avoided her. He . began swearing a little, under his breath, and Blythe knew she was witnessing one of his extremely rare fits of anger. He got up and left the room and she stared then at the desk drawer. It was where he kept a referee's whistle, a book of foot ball rules, two stop watchea, a timekeeper's pistol and boxes of blank shells, a - few newspaper clippings and photaa and such. IWhy bad be hastily put a fat envelope In there? And why waa he shaking? Blythe had an Impulse to open the drawer and explore. Instead, ahe opened it and pushed the en velope fsr back under the papers and photos there. She couldn't have said why except that this wss Pop's private office and this was Pop's business. Too many people liked to loaf In here. Over is one side was the typewriter tlesk used by Nancy Hale. "If my curiosity doesn't bust," Blythe murmured. TT didn't, and she went on with her stenographic work. Or with Nancy's, until Nancy re turned. Fop didn't come back In. Baby Scooter, who had been asleep upstairs, was brought down dressed in his own football suit, to report for practice in due form. He code out on Duane Hogan's snouiaer, with Link the puppy railing on his leash of shoestrings. Being a cocker, Link got a great workout just stumbling over his own ears. Practice was spotty, as It fre quently is on the day before a major game. Norman Dana, quar terback, would perform brilliantly for five minutes, then do some thing inexcusably dumb. The two ends developed butfar fingers, and all three cadets who played cen ter began tumbling the ball. In short ordtr the second team seemed better than the first Scooter sst in Blythe's lap on the sidelines bench, and big Duane came over once and knelt beside them. "Something's on Poo's mind. Bly," he spoke soberly. "You're telling me! And ft seems to be catching." "Fellers all have the nre-game jitters," he nodded. "Guess even Pop wants to win this one bed. Well" 'Oh, Duane! Of course he doesl But he he waa mad about some thing. Biting mad!" "MmmT Well well, by George. I feel swell, myself. Maybe I can hop the gang up for him tomor row. Playing the old alma! I wanta show those new punks back there how It's done! By George, I will!" He ran back to the field then. moving with infinite grace despite the 18B pounds of him. His muscles seemed to flow. Blythe watched him hungrily, lovingly, as he charged the subs for four straight first downs. She saw his punt soar 70 yards and cross the side line with amazing accuracy. Whatever Jitters the others felt, big Duane was still solid, cooL And it was that way, too, on the morrow. CATURDAY threw down a splash of rain, a dash of sleet, a two-inch spread of snow, then turned on the sur. in r'l its glory. At 2 o'clock th Ri :dium was full. At 2:30 the bands were silent and, quoting the loud speakers, "Duane Hogan, All-America fullback from the school which Is his opponent this afternoon, Is kicking off for the Lincoln Field cadets. Hogan Is a Texas cowboy whose miracle runs and punts last season made him the nation's outstan mumble, mumble, mumble." It was like a radio voice fading out while other sounds took over. The other sounds here were a frenzy oi cheering, a rumbling of military drums. The 6000 Lincoln cadets saw Duane's kickoff shoot upward. The ball seemed to hover up there a moment like one of their own planes stalling, glided a few yards, then nose-dived down. When it crashed it was on the seven-yard line end three Lincoln lads were all ever it, to the Aggies' con sternation But the Aggies fought out of that hole, and Indeed kept fighting all afternoon. They knew about big Duane, and they jnnr .M:out Norman Dana, his ild rival from a rival schol. State U. They fjave both experts plcaty of work to do. Pop Miller pranced nervously all the while. Between halves his talk was vehement. The score then stood 0 to 0. "Lads, lads, you are like boy in grade school!" he chided. "I have taught you to drive, but you must drive with care! Don't over run your interference. Don't let their ball carrier wreck your tim ing with a simple change of pacel Haven't I showed you how?" They drank water, sucked oranges, tried to relax. They made solemn vows. They donned fresh socks. They went back with grim vim and vigor. And again the teams played stand-off ball until late in the last quarter when Duane backed up to the far corner and himself caught a punt. Then before anyone quite realized it, he had charged through 10 Aggies and was outrunning the 1 1th in a race diagonally across the field. On the Lincoln bench, Nancy, Blythe, Scooter and all the subs shrieked in excitement. Staff pho tographers and even a newsreel man leaped out. Big All-America Hogan was coming! Hell-bent, driving, and grinning happily withal. Link the puppy yapped In frenzy, snatching at his leash. Nancy Hale dropped it to hug Blythe in a wild dance. Scooter picked up the string. "Run, Ho gan, run!" That was Pop's quite unnecessary coaching, shrieked as he too Jumped up and around. Then In one dramatic instant a near silence swept the whole bench, the whole stadium. One of those things that Just don't happen but do! was hap pening there before 80-odd-thou-sand people! Yapping wildly, and towing baby Scooter on his string, Link the puppy had dashed onto the field to greet Duane Hogan, the man both babies lovedl '(To Be Continued) m.. iSTi fi Courts 10$ AXGELES EXAMtXER SIDE GLANCES mm F'w eon. mi tv m wic(, pie, t m wa v t "ACCESSORY" DRESS 423 Everyone will be pleased with this pattern for there are nine dif ferent easy-to-make scatter rugs given braided, woven, tufted, ap- pliqued or pieced and you can use up odds and ends.
