And yet ! very near missed out, at
that.
! You see we had to beat our regular

train at the Pennsylvania station that
/ Saturday morning of the game. At
least l did, for l had to rustic my own
! eggs and coffee from the gas stove.

room was about l didn't even try to
guess. I'd taken Barry's hint and

fur collar and beat it after lnez.
She had on her real fur coat, you

Uncle Nels. But instead of the fur
trimmed hat I'd expected her TO wear

light hair with zippy tam of fluffy

the foot ball special.
Mostly after that it was dash and
rush. About all l saw of Princeton

crowds are. We had our luncheon
on the steps of one of the college
buildings and by 1880 we were
jammed into long pr. procession that

took US five minutes to find our sec

stands fill up.

at that color! Ever see so many

they?'
RUT 1nez hasn't a word to say.
She's taking everything in. even
| stretching her neck anxious to watch
. the newcomers, but she has lapsed
! into one of her dumb moods. So !
! let her lapse. Later I heard Bugs"
| Eundy pointing out celebrities to her
without getting a response. Next he
, sketched out rather cleverly how the
game was played, about the kickoff,
! and the quarters. and what the Diff
/ ferent players were called. Still 1nez
had no questions to ask, no COM
! ments to make. All she seemed to
! want to do was to rubber eager about
| the stands. Appeared to be sizing up
| the female spectators. And some-
how she kept getting GUNNER and

Then there was a roar and rumble
from the cheering sections as one OF

near either goal, and I understood
! there was no scoring.
The second period opened different.
! Somebody muffed pass. according to
Barry, a flying squad of players went
through one Of the lines, and all kinds
Of excitement broke loose. The cheer
