A DARN LIE.

University of Washington fans
(Mr. Angevine take notice. are to
blame for this story about Wee
Coyle, the sound schools star quar-
terback. Coyle used to play base
ball when it got too hot to chase a
pigskin, but he wasn't much of a HIT
ter. He used to handle fly balls
nicely, though, and earned a place on
the varsity. Game after game would
be play and never a hit. Then, at
some psychological ome he would
uncork n hot one and break up a
tight squeeze of some kind. The
students used to say that he got a
hit a year. Anyway this year,
Coyle's last, had been marked by a
fearful slump and when the little
star came to bat, with the score a
tie in the ninth, a man IN second and
two down, the fans groaned, But
Coyle only grinned. AS he walked
toward the plate he turned to the
grandstand, stuck out his chest,
bowed and said, Ladies and gentle
men, I will 10Y get my nnual hit"
He stepped to the plate, swung at
the first one and sent it over the
fielder's head for q clean
