CHAPTER VIII
IN hour before practice time
this Friday afternoon, Blythe
Miller parked her bike outside the
Lincoln gym and started around
to Pop'a office. 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
