he has his way, is still a power in fut
ball.
Dear me, I'm gettin' to be quite a
college fellow through readin' tn
newspapers in tn fall. Hinnissy. "
a man runs a saloon an reads all t1e
newspapers firm end to end, nawthin'
human or inhuman. as Hogan says, is
foreign to him. Ye take fut ball. L
niver PLAYED fut ball since | was eight
years old. Tn next year Wint to
wurruk. But l read all o it in
tn pa-apers.

cast me eye on a pitcher an say: Well.

a tur-rible loOkin' fellow. In age he
appears to be about forty-five. He
may be younger, but a life ~ crime an
h~ardships has marked him with
crool lines. He was Evidently pursood
be the polls through forest an swamp
an brought to bay. He is standin III
front iv tn camera, intint on sellin' his
life as dear as possible. A desprit
character says l. If | liver meet
Clarence Doolittle in a lark place I'll
give him a wide BERTH says l.
Il watch his career, expictin' ivry
day to read that he has burglarizeu
President Hadley'S hen house or at
tackled Professor Sumner with a
coupling pin. But all | read is that
Clarence DoClittle may not be able to
play because he has tn measles or
that tn faculty amt sure that they
can let Clarence DOolittle go into tn
game because he fell down tn other
day in an attimpt at a w pass
or spellin' or Biography. This onsettles
me a good deal because I can make
out why : vicious, middle-aged crimi-
nal Shud be bOtherin' his head about
thin simple childish pursoots. Think
iv a man with that tur-rble murdhrOus
face thryin' to bound Alaska. What
Professor wud dare to contradict
him if he said Alaska was bounded on
tn east be BeloOchystan an on tn
south be BoOlgahrya? He'd surely
dhraw a knife on him. But anyhow.
Clarence gets through all right to play
tn game.
Maybe tn chief coach goes up an
says he'll put a head on tn professor
iv pollytickal economy if Clarence isn't
in tn game. Maybe tn professor iv
pollytickal economy reflects that if a
man can raymimber that eight-twinty
observation-disclosures mean that he
must wipe off his bloody nose, run
three steps to tn right, knock down a
man fall on his face. pretind to have a
fit, get up, slap tn empire, catch tn
ball. jump back with it, pretind to
lose it an thin kick it, has as good a
head as a man that believes that tn
panic iv eighteen ffty-siven was
caused be havin' too much curled hair
in tn currency.

l see that Clarence is in again, an il
seems that he's put aside all childish
pursoots an has gone back TO his evil
life that showed in tn first phOty-
