his return to the game a man in such
condition would be liable to serious
injury.
"The new rule will place respon-
sibility largely on the team itself. A
coach will find 1t necessary, therefore,
to develop responsibility, initiative and
Judgment in his team, attributes which
will make better teams.
"The method of scoring one point
after touchdown will, believe.
place premium on team play and add
something to offensive strategy. II
is by no means certain that a team
will elect to drop kick goal from place
ment Whether kick, pass or run is
elected, will depend largely on the
personnel of the backfield."

Yale Coach Discusses New Grid

Tad Jones, Yale's football coach.
differs from many of the leading
coaches in the country on the rule pro
hibiting a player taken from the game
to return to 1t in the half in which he
is removed. He likes the rule.
Il am very much pleased with the
recent changes" he said, particularly
that applying to substitutions. The
idea that the rule just changed has
made the game safer is, in my judg
ment erroneous. 1t Is seldom that a
man Is removed from a game for phys
ical reasons. Seldom, If ever, Is it nee
essary to remove a man because of ex.

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPERS
Education Is the Poor
Mans Heaven

There is a vast difference
between education and
schooling. We all know
people, by the score, who
have been exposed to educa-
ton for years in our schools
but have never accepted it.
The test is not "How
much schooling have you
had?", but rather What
can you do?"
Training stays with one.
And it doesn't make so much
difference where we got 1T,
as" Have we got it,"
The trained man doesn't
necessarily work any harder
than the unframed but he
gets more for it, whether he
is working for himself or
someone else. He doesn't
have to take as many knocks
either. AS a usual thing the
longer hours we have to put
in; the more bossing we have
to take; the coarser and
harder work we have to do;
the less we get for it.
But one says, 81 can'tget
any training. Well, for a
start: the magazines are full
of material which is not only
interesting, but will open
ones eyes wider to see op-
portunity and how specific
training can be easily gotten.

DUTY

Cultivate, develope, and rise.
Hunt, search, and seek
M;ngle with the wise;
Always avoid the mental weak.
Know the ones who lead.
Use your spare time hour;
To find the truth and heed
Use your brain and give it power.
Never worship ''Gods of Tin"
Bid all your fears goodbye.
Rememb ber. Cowards can never win
For they never make try.
You can be just what you will;
Regardless, of what you name.
We, ourselves, create our skill,
And educate our brain.

wracking limbs and pain. only further
conflict with tireless enemies. only
struggle to tear his agoniZed body to
pieces and the bitterness of defeat in
the end He saw his chances plain as
he lay beneath that gray sky. Even
BOW, perhaps, Simon was upon them.
Only two little rifle shells remained
with which to combat him. and he
doubted that his wounded arm would
hold the rifle steady There were
weary, innumerable miles between
them and any shelter. and only the fer
rible, trackless forest lay between.
Then why not lie still and let
flss curtains fall? This was an easy,
tranquil passing. and heaven alone
knew what dreadful mode of egress
would be his if he rose to battle fur
ther. All the argument seemed on
one side.
But high and bright above all this
burned the indomitable flame of his
spirit. To rise. to fight, to struggle
on. Never to yield until the Power
above decreed To stand firm. even
as the pines themselves. The dom
inant greatness that Linda had found
in this man rose in him, and he set
his muscles like iron.
He shook off the mists of the frost
in his brain. Quickly he knelt by Lin
da and shook her shoulders in his
hands. She opened her eyes.
"Get up, Linda" he said gently.
1--WE have to go on"
She started to object but message
in his eyes kept her from it. His
own spirit went into her. He helped
her to her feet.
Help me roll the blankets" he com
manded, "and take out enough food
for breakfast. We can't stop to eat
it here. l think we're i'm sight of
the main trail whether we can find
it-in the snow-I don't know. We
must get farther into the thickets be
fore we stop to eat"
They were strange figures in the
snow flurries as they went to work to
roll the blankets into compact
bundle. The food she had taken from
their stores for breakfast he thrust
into the pocket of his coat; the rest,
with the blankets, she tied swiftly on
the horse. They unfastened the ami
NAL and for moment she stood hold
ing the reinS while Bruce crept back
on the hillside to look for the trail.
The snow swept round them, and
they felt the lowering menace of the
cold. And at that instant those dread
spirits that rule the wilderness, jeal-
Gus then and jealous still of the in
trusion of man, dealt them a final,
deadly blow.
Its weapon was just a sound-a loud
crash in distant thicket-and
pungent message on the wind that
their human senses were too blunt to
receive. The horse suddenly snorted
loudly, then reared up. Bruce saw as
in a tragic dream the girl struggle to
hold him: he saw her pulled down in
to the snow and the rein jerked from
her hand. Then the animal plunged.
wheeled and raced at top speed away
into the snow f1urries. Some terror
that as yet they could not name had
broken their control of him and i'm an
instant taken from them this one last
hope of safety.

snow of the wilderness about her
moved Bruce to his depths.
He saw her but dimly in the snow

in an attitude of prayer
He came rather slowly, and he even
smiled little And she gave him a
wan. strange little smile in return.

ness of tone. "You see what it,
means?"
She nodded, then got to her feet.
'We can walk out, if we are let
alone and given time; 1t isn't that
we are obliged to have the horse. But
storm is steadily becoming blizzard
And you see time is one thing that
we don't have. No human being can
stand this cold for long unprotected" u
"And we can't keep going-keep
warm by walking?'
His answer was to take out his
knife and put the point of the steel to-
his thumb nail His eyes strained,
then looked up. "A little way" he an
swered, but we can't keep our main
directions. The sun doesn't even cast
a shadow on my nail to show us
which is west. We could keep up a
while, perhaps, but there is no end to
this wilderness and at noon or to-
night-the result would be the same"
''It means-the end?'
IF | can't catch the horse. I'm CO.
ing now. If we can regain the blan-
kets-by getting in rifle range of the
horse-we might make some sort of
shelter in the snow and last out until
we can see our way and get our bear
ings. You don't know of any shelter
any cave or cabin where we might
build fire?'
mo. There are some in the hills,
but we can't see our way to find them"
II know. l should have thought of
that. And you see, we can't build a
fire here-eyerything Us wet, and the
snow is beginning to whirl so we
couldn't keep it going. If we should
stagger on all day in this storm and
this snow, We couldn't endure the
night" He smiled again. "And I want
you to climb tree-and stay there
until come back"
She looked at him duly. What's
the use, Bruce? You won't come
back. You'll chase the thing until you
die-I know you. You don't know
when to give up. And If you want
to come back-you couldn't find the
way. I'm going with you"
No Once more she started to
disobey, but the grave displeasure In
his eyes restrained her. Its going to
take all my strength to fight through
that snOw-I must go fast-and may
be life ard death will have to depend
on your strength at the end of the
trail. You must save 1.-THE little
you have left. Since / must take
the rif1e-tO shoot the horse if l can't
catch him-you must climb a tree.
You know why"
Partly to hide from Simon if he
comes this way. And partly"
Because there's some danger in
that thicket beyond!" he interrupted
her. 'The horses terror was real
besides, you heard the sound. Tt might
be only puma. But it might be-
the Killer. Swing your arms and
struggle all you can to keep the blood
flowing. / won't be gone long"
He started to go, and she ran after,
him with Outstretched arms. "Oh,

Bruce walked over to Linda, wait

Alone"

I'm not strong enough for that"
He whirled, took two PAGES back,
and his arms went about her. He had
forgotten his injury long since. He
her eyes. Then at once the flurries
hid him.
The girl climbed up into the
branches of fir tree In the thicket
beyond a great gray form tackled back
and forth trying to locate scent that
second before he had caught but
dimly and had lost. 1t was the Killer,
and his temper was lost long ago in
the whirling snow.
His anger was upon him, partly from
the discomfort of the storm, partly
from the constant, gnawing pain of
three bullet wounds in his powerful
body. Besides, he realized the pres
ence of his old and greatest enemy
those stall, slight forms that had
crossed him so many times that had
stung him with their bullets, and
whose weakness he had learned.
And then all at once he caught
the scent plain. He lurched forward,
crashed again through the brush, and
walked out into the snow-swept open.
