Fore Star has been freshened up
since Canadian racing and her trials
suggest that she holds all her good
form. Her underpinning is weak,
but If it holds up she should whip
the juveniles opposing her in the
sixth. Her best race makes her
almost a stand-out. Sea met, a
winner last out, is as good as that
effort attests. She should furnish
the main contention. West Point
and The Engineer have the minor
award between them. The latter
seems to be just a fast nonstayer.

Central rushed the ball a bare

unusual skill and speed and elusive
ness. The Black and White played
a game that was exasperating from.

Also it had very dampening eff

Discovery of a real kicker in the
person of George Roberts, former
Crescent football star, brought Kelly

his best offensive weapon was Rob

Mike s6liquized.
Roberts almost disrupted the Cal
vert Hall backs with his kicking.
He was far and away above the
best that could be mustered against
him. Gains of from fifteen to
twenty-five yards were net.ed by
Central every time there was an
exchange OF kicks. There is no
better method of gaining valuable
yardage than through a superior
kicker, and Wilmer, quarterback,
realized as much.
Roberts carried the ball once from
scIimmage, and he gained thirty
yards. Wilmer, Roy Engle. and
Hance helped out with occasional
runs just to befuddle the opposition.
The four work well together and
will bear a lot Of watching.
Kelly seems to have instiIled
some football sense into his team
tl1iS year. His material last year
was very weak, and he did Ii0t
have q fair chance. Given some
men to work with this season he
has taken full advantage of It's
assets, and Central has team
that will go q long way.
Three line stars aid and assist
the backs. James Morton, Van
Meter and Blackstone are players
of the type that brook no failure
They play the game from the open

good backs and three clever line

Roberts alone gained close to zoo

kicking. Repeated boots. had the
visitors punting from behind their
goal line and such does not always

And all that ground was gained

She got up. Wilde stretched with
long, sensuous yawns. At their feet,
the city wearing her thousand ropes
of glowing amber jewels slept on a
purple couch beneath the hills.
Nothing decided. Oh-well-time
yet. Still few months before she
was 25-then year before this new
wealth would be completely in her
hands.
But it was nearing the end of her
training. Soon she would be finished,
then she would start out for herself
then she would be a person, alone.
She thought a. great deal of this.
1t brought wider sadness to her
eyes; depth that was appealing to
the young pale mouth.
David noticed it. Her loneliness
affected him in a desolate way. She
was very gentle: very eager in all
her work, but she would not go out
with him. She kept this up until
he wondered if she had loved Jake,
and, even on that fated night, was
awaiting his coming. Was that the
reason she Cancelled all her dates
with him?
He remembered WILDLY the pain
and sweetness on her face when she
kissed Jake; remembered, too, that
twice in those nights when he
brought her a cup Of coffee, aching

to see her so white, so troubled,
she had taken it without seeming
to notice him. He was well aware
that she had not thanked him. So
perhaps her heart was lost with
Jake.
This explanation piqued him. made
him restless and unhappy. For no
was young and she had turned eyes
dewy and tender to his. She had
that. Then, once she had been glad
to have his arms about her. Tr1fes,
but they thrilled warmly oil along
his nerves.
Then there was the picture Of her
in the garden, tears on her lashes
when she read that book of young
and flaming love. Would she cry so
if she were in love with Jake?
Would she have let him hold her
hands as she did-and as he now re-
membered?
Not pleased him better to be-
lieve that he was dismissed because
of that old thing in her life rather
than because of a tragic love for
Jake.
So he persisted. The more aloof
she was, the more impatient he be-
came. And the more it seemed
cruel and pathetic that she should
hold to this idea of punishment

Gloria's voice rose in a scream.
Then she burst into wild sobbing

herself. For she felt blue and un-

hanging over her. Then she remem-
bered last night.
"Dick!' Gloria called, ooh, Dick"
Immediately he appeared in the
doorway. His face was covered with
lather. and he held shaving brush.
Dick Gregory, why did you throw

Gloria asked. Dick grinned.
