Wildwood, where the team will en-

in the sixth game OF the season.
Determined to wipe out the sting
Of last weeks 72-0 defeat at the

of the smallest in the big colleges.

table, was striped with alternat-

cut diamonds, but on her hands
she wore no jewels of any sort.
Her dress was scarcely more than
a straight slip of faded rose-colored
crepe, caught on one shoulder with
a circlet of jade entwined by bril-
