connected with the intelligence depart

a year. He could then read and write it

to go up the Nile in order 70 reach Khar-

down hill fast. The men had lost heart,
and with ever increasing swiftness the
Hanover wedge ground its way down the
field until a final GREATNESS rally shipped
the advance on the 20-yard line. One
minute to play and the Hanover full
back dropped back for another try for
goal. Here was a last desperate chance,
and in spite of his aching, whirling head.
Parker remembered the trick that had
worked so well on Brice and showed in
close to his opponent. The latter, mis-
taking the movement, closed up the gap,
when, quick as a fash, as the ball was
snapped, Parker sprang out. whirled his
husky opponent half around and rushed
at the full-back like a tiger, with the
speedy quarterback close at his heels.
The kick was swift and sure, but Parker
was quicker, and as the ball rose he
sprang high in the air and caught it full
on his outstretched arms.
As the ball bounded back Sheldon, the
quarterback, suatched it up and was off
for the Hanover goal, eighty yards away
Behind him strained the Hanover half
backs in hot pursuit, but it was no USE
A stern chase is a long one, and Sheldon
did not hold the Varsity record for the

Burrows kicked an easy goal making the
score 6 to in Clevedons favor, and time
was up.
And Parker-well, Parker tainted away
in the arms of his roommate as he tried
to walk off the field and was sick for a
month with brain fever. But he had
earned his nickname of "Bull-headed"
Parker and lived to prove his full right

field.
