Things had quieted down at the
office; no sales were being made;
he would suggest to Wilbur that
he needed a trip. He and Mrs.
Grotenberg would go on to New
York. Wilbur had been east two
years ago; now. it should be his
turn. He decided to take his part
ner completely into his confidence;
he knew Wilbur well enough to feel
sure he would agree to whatever
he proposed. The quicker he got
away, the easier it would be for
himself, for Leila and Lucy. He
turned back into the cabin, eager
to impart his news to Mrs. Groten-

into Ralph's words:

Forced to Sidelines,
 Captain Quits Pennsy
CAPTAIN TEX HAMER

A year ago after the annual game with Cornell members of the Penn sylyania football eleven got together and elected captain for 1923.
 Hamer, one of the stars of the team, and most popular man on the squad, was thus honored.
 This year Hamer, Captain Tex Hamer as he was known to the foot ball world, led his men gallantly through the trials and tribulations of the early season.
 Came eventually the final game with Cornell, big game of the year. The team had not been going well enough to suit Coach Young, and he made changes. Among other things he reIegated Hamer to the sidelines. Hamer did not get to play at all against Penn's historic rival.
 Crushed by the turn of events Hamer turned in his football togs, his baseball clothes and his track outfit, together with other cherished collegiate belongings and left the uni versity, not waiting even for his de- gree.
