CHAPTER XXI
TJ OCCO hailed cab and went
downtown. At 11:30 Sam and
Big Ed drew up to the Intersection
of two back itreets and picked
him up.
"Well?" Ed laid.
"Ed, I'm tellin' you I know o
much about that dame I even
know what ahe'i gonna have for
lunch tomorrow." Roceo grinned
In the darkness.
"Yeah ... aure," Big Ed told
him. "You're limply amazin', but
IH pin the medals on you later.
Give out with the dope."
Rocco spoke quickly. "Tomor-
her sociology class out to an or
phanage . . . the uses this Rhodes
kid's car ... she geta back at
and takes the car to the stadium
so's he don't have to walk back
from football practice T . . when
she drives down to the stadium,
that's when we work."
"Yeah, and what if she decides
to keep the car all afternoon and
take it back at 5, or maybe
later."
"Nine chances outa ten she
wont I know, I'm tellin' you."
"HowM you pick all this stuff
up since 4 o'clockT" - r :
Rocco laughed mirthlessly. "Tell
me, Ed . . . you know anyone
as smart as your boy Roceo? I
got methods."
Big Ed bit off the and of a
cigar and lit It "Sam, you get up
early and give this bus good
going over, hey?" X -
Sam , stared straight ahead.
"She ain't never run better." "
"Mebba not but you'll do what
I say, hey Sam?"
"Sura, Ed . . Sure."
V
JT waa a beautiful fall. day, and
Joan, walking over to pick up
Keith's car, wished it were two
miles Instead of two blocks to the
Gamma house.
She' picked up the keys from
the cook and drove over to on
of the dorms to call for three
Stir Is In her class who were to'
make the trip with her.
They joined the rest of the '
group at the orphanage and spent
the next three hours making cb-.
servatlons and taking notes on the'
Institution's system of operation. .
They ate a lata lunch at
downtown tea shop and then re
turned to the university district
Joan took the other girls back
to the dormitory and. stopped In
t the Varsity for a minute.
Hi, Uncle Jim," she greeted.
"How about some stamps." .' ' "
He pulled out his postal box.
"Say, Joan, there was a fella In
here a few minutes ago lookin'
for a football ticket He wanted
to know if you usually stopped in
during the afternoon. He was in
last night Just about the time you
were, and asked me who you were
when you went out" ; ' '
Joan frowned. "That's funny.
He wasn't a student was he?"
"Nope. And I noticed he got
Into a big sedan across the street
with a couple other fellows."
"Thanks, Uncle Jim . . .
couldn't have been very important
or he'd have called me at the
house."
She returned to her room and
wrote a couple of letters before
taking Keith's ear back to the
stadium.
"Ill be back in 45 minutes or
so," she told Elaine. "It I get
any phone calls insist on a mes
sage, will you?'
e
gHE dropped her letters in a
corner box and drove across
campus. Stopping at the library
to pick up a book she bumped
Into Dan Webber. ,
"Hi, there," she said. "Going
down to the stadium soon? I'll
take you down."
"What do you mean youll
take me down?"
She explained she was return
ing Keith's car. "Can you imagine
that lazy so-and-so making me
Walk all the way back from the
stadium when I could have left
It at the fraternity house."
Dan grinned. "Sure I can.
That's Keith. But maybe I
shouldn't blame him at that The
Way Slocum has been running us
ragged this week that car comes
In handy when it's time to go
borne.
They walked out Into the bright
sunlight "Think I'll turn down
your offer," he said. "The walk'll
do me good. Anyhow, Slocum
scream wh.n htt innli anw Um
boys getting chauffeur service.
He claims the modern athlete is
Soing soft because of the automo
ile and stuff."
"And you believe him, of
course."
"Absolutely," he said solemnly.
"Well, if you don't want to ride
with me . . . I'm very good
company, you know."
He grinned again. "Okay . . .
let'a get going before we start
squaring off."
"Whos squaring oft?" she
flared, but he covered his ears
and pretended not to listen.
Once in the car he relaxed
deep in the leather seat and
sighed. "Just think three more
days and life'll be worth living
again. No more practice . . .
no more charley-horscs ... no
more Slocum bellowing In our
ears."
"What about the Rose Bowl?"
He was silent for a long mo
ment "We'll talk about that after
Saturday's game maybe."
"You think we'll win, don't
rou?"
"I think so."
She noticed his quiet confidence.
TWEY skirted the university
power plant and swung onto
the long gravel road which led
down to the stadium. At the same
as tan t a heavy blue sedan moved
out of the stadium parking . lot
nd started slowly toward them.
Joan didn't notice the other car
until she rounded a curve. The
ledan came toward them slowly,
tmack in the middle of the nar
now road.
"It's about time for that guy to
move over," Dan muttered as
they drew closer.
Forty yards away and the sedan
showed no inclination of drawing
pver to its own side of the road.
And then Joan noticed there were
three men in the other car.
A sudden thought made her
rwing wide in an attempt to move
around them, off the road, but
around them, nevertheless.
But they swung wide with her
and when she jammed on the
brakes the cars were only three
feet apart She was completely
blocked.
"Hey!" Dan shouted. "What's
rolng. ..."
But even as th two ears
icrecched to a stop, Rocco was
icrambling out of the sedan.
There was an automatio in his
hsnd. Joan gasped and clutched
Dan's arm.
