The team xoucht hard, but the rapidity ot State's attack had taken everyone by sur prise. Before the half ended Pete Laird faded and tossed a 30-yard strike to Socko Wonsocki, who caught the ball In the dear on the 10-yard line and loped over. : Half time found Dinty Dugan till undemonstrative. "Don't let up," he cautioned. "Two touch down! dont mean a thing against this outfit" State Iced the game in the third period, and it was Laird who did it With the ball at mid-field he took it on a reverse, cut through yawning gap at tackle and moved into the open. Landers was head, and the two co-operated perfectly. Dugan substituted freely in the final quarter, and Northwestern marched the length of the field for touchdown. It was 21-6 at the finish, and the crowd filed out tinging rave notices. ' Tine going, men," congratu lated Dugan in the locker room. It was hot and sticky and he was perspiring. "You looked like a Teal team out there today." -None of the ebullient enthusi asm of the California game per vaded the room. The men dressed quietly and filed out Laird, a towel wrapped around his middle,, was surrounded by reporters., .Tlan to turn professional nezti year. Laird?" usked Harry Grant, New York syndicate writer. , "Well , . ." Pete was about to: reply in the negative. "Well, i:. don't know. All depends on what happens between now and gradu ation and how much they offer." - Pete caught Landers' sneer as lie said it "They'll like that back - home, Doc," it taunted. . Pete ducked out ot a aide en trance, evaded the crowd -and: went back to the apartment Ai rim lay on his desk. He opened It and zead: STILL SORRY YOU MISSED PRACTICE? YOU WERE CO LOSSAL. ALL LOVE. . 7 STEPHANIE ThaTs what I told those birds in the huddle," be muttered to himself. Practice what a joke! He knew what to do. Why re-; hearse? - A note lay by the phone. "Mr. Landers call Anne Humphreys at! Delt house." - "Maid must have made an er ror," thought Laird. "Probably wants me to call and wrote Lan ders' name by mistake. What Would Anne want with George, anyhow?" fIJUT were there lfs? Of course You. don't doubt girls like Stephanie. You're sure either way. Pete slipped into the Delt house unnoticed. Suddenly a red-hairedl Delt freshman shrilled too loudly: "Why, there's Pete Laird!" Pete fingered his hat nervoufly s the guests whispered and ges ticulated. A freshly scrubbed little' Ishaver, probably the brother of a Delt, didn't help by pushing an autograph book in his face, and a Sat old alum insisted utxm cab. bing about how old "82" worked gainst : Illinois in 1910. Pete eighed relief as Anne walked up, "Can't' we get out of this?" he pleaded. . "I suppose so." She nodded coldly and they escaped. "Anne," he ventured as they "walked slowly up the street, "I've got a lot to say to you." "Why bother?" "That's funny, coming from' you," he said with surprise. "You ealledme today, didn't you?" "Called you?" She laughed harshly. "I most certainly did not!" "You didn't?? He was puzzled. "Why, there was a note saying; you had called and wanted Land ers to phone. I knew that wasn't tight. What would you want with George, anyhow? I figured the maid had made a mistake." "You what?" She stopped and put her hands on her hips. Her face was crimson. "You thought! there was a mistake? There was. But the maid didn't make it I (did! . , ' "I made it three years ago," she went on bitterly, "when I thought there was something fine and real about you. Fine and real that's i' laugh! You're nothing but a' cheap, Inflated football hero!1 You're not fit to clean George Landers' boots!" lANNE choked with sobs as she f turned and walked back to Hie house. Incredulously. Peto Watched her disappear into the bhadows. So that was it George nd Anne together. No wonder George avoided him. He felt a slow rage mounting as he walked swiftly back to the apartment Landers was propped up in bed reading a magazine when he en tered. He looked up, saw Peta standing there and resumed his reading without a word. Pete miked over to the bed, tore the magazine out ot Landers' hand, M.took fftjila eoat. COPYRIGHT, 141, NKA IRVICI, INC. "Get out of that bed, chum," he hissed. "You and I are going to have a little talk." "What's the matter, sonny?" drawled landers,' sitting up and stretching. "I didn't throw away any of your clippings by mistake, did I?" "No," growled Pete, "but you threw a pretty mean knife in my back." "I don't get it" "I mean Anne," snapped Pete. "You get that, don't you?"-' "Are you serious?" asked Land ers. He threw back his head and roared. Well, if tlus lsnt the cakel What do you want, egg in your beer?" "Now wait a minute . . ." ' "No, you wait a minute." Land ers wasn't laughing any more. Ha was livid. "I'm going to give it to you short and sweet. I've been in love with Anne for three years. But Pete Laird was in the driver's seat, and I stood by. When Pete Laird tosses away a girl like Anne' for some Hollywood tramp . . ." Pete cut Landers short with a hard right aimed at his chin, and the two flew at each other. Land ers fought the same way he played football. He was wide open, his powerful, short arms waiting for Laird to come to him. I Pete slapped his left in George's unguarded face once, twice, a third time but Landers just blinked and stood his ground. Laird tried to get In close, and Landers clouted him with a sting ing right under the eye. They slugged at close quarters. Suddenly, Pete feinted and brought up a right from the floor.
