He sat up now. straining his eyes
about him. He could Just make out
his immediate surroundings. Some
thing almost within his reach took on
q familiar aSpect--he stretched out his
hand and touched it. Yes, that was
what 1t was--the f1y-wheel of an en-
CINE. He was III motor boat.
And then Peter laughed little. In
a hoarSe, uncontrolled sort Of way. OF
course! A motor boat! Then, 1t must
be MurchiSon'S--the one that was al
ways moored to the little dock. And
if it was Murchison's. then there was
a small locker aft of the engine, and
there we're tools in the locker-somc-
thing with which he could cut the mo-
tor boat adrift from that thing out

There was no time to lose. How
could he tell how long it was since
they had left the island! How could
he tell how near they were to that
somewhere" that was to be the end Of
the motor boats journey--and his!
He began to crawl toward the stern.
Perhaps MurchiSon was here after all
living somewhere here on the bottom of
the boat. He called again. No answer.

cropped around inside. There wasn't

With these in his possession he

them; and winding. twisting. bubbling
through this avenue was q stream Of

than approaching the trees. seemed to

only another form of torture. A mir

time. Perhaps 1t wasn't a mirage How
did he know 1t was mirage? It might

Anything was possible. But whethe:

U. S. CARDINAL
IS MOST HIGHLY
HONORED BY POPE

ROME, March IL R1-The reception
of Cardinal Mundelain of Chicago
by Pope Plus today was one of the
most memorable in the history of the
vatican 1t was the first time an
American cardinal had acted in con-
nection with an important transac-
ton having to do with the congrega
ton for the propagation of faith,
which stands so high in the organi-
zaCion of the Catholic church that
the cardinal presiding over it is known
as the Red Pope" Cardinal Munde-
lein carried with him a check for
$1500O00 from American donors for
the removal of the college of propa
ganda to a less congested section Of
Rome. This he presented to the
pope, who asked him to convey
special blessing on all those who had
contributed.
The cardinal was received at the
entrance to the vatican with military
honors rendered by a detachment OF
the Swiss guard From there he
passed through the courtyard of San
Damasco, where papal gendarmes STOOD
at attention and was greeted by the
papal master of ceremony. He as
cendcd the great marble staircase,
entering Clementine hall, where an
other detachment of the Swiss guard
presented arms
Papal chair bearers, clad in char
acteristic red damask, helped Cardi-
nal Mundelein's suite to remove his
mantle, then the party proceeded
through the vast rooms, decorated
with precious tapestries, to the papal
anteroom, where a welcome was eX-
tended by the papal military and
eccelsiastic court, and the cardinal
was Immediately ushered into the
presence of the pontiff in his private
library.
Cardinal Mundelein prostrated him

audience broke all precedents for
length, lasting more than one hour
and half.
The pontiff accentuated the i'm
portance Of the assistance extended
by Americans in behalf of the college

centuries ago and is one of the most
outstanding centers of clerical educa-

Frankness of Rockne

TT dtlNIISSS VI RONNtIS
ONE of the most attractive of
~ the engaging traits of Knute
Rockne is his daring frankness.
Through the many recent attacks
against football the Notre Dame
coach maintained that the game
was not in need of defense and he
has consistently exploded many Of
the romantic bunk arguments pre-.
sented for the game.
''The football coach is supposed
to teach boys how to play football
Their moral education is for the
Sunday schools" he said recently.
when tell boys they shouldn't
smoke am not trying to improve
their morals. l want them to have
good wind on the field"
Since several prominent eastern
coaches have said that they felt it
was a high obligation of their pro.
fession to make good citizens and
good men out of the football play
ers, Rockne's remarks might be in.
terpreted as slap at those NOR.
alists. But anyone who knows
Rockne knows that he was merely
stating private opinion when he
said that.
Rockne's teams always have been
well behaved on and off the field,
and if they weren't given actual
lessons in proper moral conduct by
their coach they knew without
being told what would happen to
them if they didn't behave.
Its fine to listen to sermons
about sportsmanship and that vic
tory is of secondary importance.
but every football coach knows
that he is being retained for the
purpose of developing winning
teams. There are enough actual
rules in the football code to cover
the moral angle" Rockne once
said.
The emphasis he placed upon
the code of morals and sportsman-
ship was one of the chief argu.
ments made against a coach of a
big western conference university
this winter.
Some of the old grads, who were
emphatic in demanding his resig-
nation, said they visited the locker
room between halves of one of the
most important games of the sea.
