Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-22
By McCready Huston

OLD Cletus Brangwyn knew all this. He
~ knew why Merrill was on the squad; and
he knew he hadn't chance Of telling his
name and number to referee.
Brangwyn walked in on Janice and Freddie
out at the house the week Of the Southern
game, and as he had had couple, proceeded
to tell Freddie what everybody knew about his
public reputation and private character
OF course, 1t was poor psychology; Janice
hared I'D and defended Freddie. The result
of it was that Mr.. Brangwyn, remembering his
latest information from Storrow, told Merrill
that If he got into the Southern game he
could marry Janice and nothing said. It was
a safe bet, of course, and nobody knew it any
better than Freddie.
The Midlandia- Southern game-wel, you
know how it ranks. Sixty thousand people, no
matter what the weather. The game Is a
mania in the Middle West.
That happened to be the week Kent dropped
in at Midlandia. He came to see Janice, to
ask her once more-and to see the game.
You see how it was. He ran into all this
historical crisis centering in old Brangwyns
offer to remove all barriers If Merrill got into
the Southern game. That was all he had TO
do, get into the game for three plays. But
how could he? He couldn't. Janice knew that
and was furious with her father.
Instead Of presenting his own case Kent sat
and listened to Janice, and when she had I'm
ished he vanished without having said what
he had travelled 1900 miles to say.
You or would have taken the next train
and stayed on it till the Midlandia- Southern
game and Janice Brangwyn were some hum
dreds Of miles rearward. But you and I are
not Dick Kent; that Is what have been trying
to convey. So, after standing under bare
elm on the corner below the Brangwyn house
studying Janice's case, he took university
bound street car to Storrow's office.
Did you ever try to see a coach like Storrnw
the night before big game? I have tried
once and I don't expect to again. 1t was
waste of time for me. But he'll talk to a man
like Dick.
Kent didn't stay long. He just sat around
a little while asking about Jones' collapsible
knee and If Smith was passing any better
under pressure He probably told story or
two about some game he had seen between
teams Storrow was not expecting to play.
Then he remarked that he was there with
out ticket and probably would turn up in the
dressing room at game time and go In with
the Midlandia bunch to sit on the bench.
Storrow, Of course, invited him to sit beside
him.
OF course, I need not tell you the story OF
- that Mdlandia-Southern game. You were
there and saw it; and you know Midlandia won
the game in the third quarter after leaving the
field at the end of the first half beaten 10 70

Yale Bowl: the next at Creighton or Wander
blt. Wherever he was he was always the
sane-one play ahead.
So carefully had Kent ordered his life that
when at last he was raked in the region OF
the affections by Janice Brangwyn, the college
world did not know what was going on until
after it was over. And it never did know the
truth.
I intended never to tell, but go around
among the college towns hear go many people
saying unkind and unjustifed things about
Dick that want you to knoa how 1t really
was.
I've even heard them say that for a man as
familiar with codes as Kent, he Is strangely
lacking in a sense of honor; that he played
Freddie Merrill despicable trick hoping he
would disgrace himself before Janice That
they would suspect him to this degree shows
that character like his needs some expla-
nation in common justice.
For Dick began to care for Janice when she
was child of 16, long before she saw Merrill
But Kent had trained himself so long against
saying too much, running things out, trying
to promote himself, that after she reached the
age to be swept of her feet he never tried to
do it, as perhaps he should have done.
Making Midlandia twice year for three
years, he associated, naturally, with the uni
versity personages, as he did everywhere, ana
as Janice's father was one Of these Kent grew
to know the family intimately.
Janice, however, with the perversity OF the
SEX Just when she had her golden opportunity
with Kent grew insane on the subject OF this
Merrill, who was no good and known to be no
good by everybody but Janice. Old Man
Brangwyn knew 1t and did all he could TO
break the affair up; and 1t was in trying 70
break it up that he actually tossed his daugn-
ter into MerrilIs arms. How often that
happens!
You See Merrill had been carried on the
Midlandia foot ball squad for two seasons with
out getting into game. Coach StorroW knew
Merrill was liability, but Freddie was tecnh-
cally eligible to a place on squad as Dig as
Midlandia's.
You know Storrow: a great Snowman as well
as a great coach. He produces 100 men IN
uniform at his home games and takes 90 on
the road. When they come running into the
stadium five minutes before game time you
think of the laundering herd
Merrill was just stuffed sweat shirt put
there was trace of campus politics In the case
that made it necessary for Storrow TO let nun
sit on the bench. You remember Bill Hendry?
Storrow didn't want to put Hendry into
game; and he knew If he kept Merrill on the
roster but left him sitting on the bench ne
could keep Hendry on the sidelines, TOO. 1ou
may get hint from this why Storrow gives
out so many uniforms.

A different football story Of

THAT special side world Of intercollegiate
athletics which never appears in the newspapers
was Kents habitat when I knew MN Well
This is the world Of coaches, principally, In
their relations with each other. Its politics ana
inner affairs are realistic, but usually not pup
liShable.
News travels in this world not on telegraph
wires but by word Of mouth, uttered crypt
calIy by those who know and only to those VINO
deserve to know. It's bearers may easily De
men like Dick Kent who open any doors and
who may carry the signals OF a dozen foot Dali
teams at the same time without mixing them or
even letting anybody know they have them In
their pockets
ing all campuses, strolling through hotel lob
bies the evenings before big games.
For example Kent would be able to tell you,
II he thought you were worthy, the real reason
why Breakiron the Blue Ridge Mountain
guard who went through Harvard's line like
tractor, wasn't elected captain at Midlandia.
He might have been in the Boston hotel room
the night Martin, the inscrutable coach, had
refused to sign contract to go to Sierra Uni
versity. He might tell you what Martin SAID.
He could tell you why Kennedy Of Reserve
had not thrown that forward pass TO Phllips
in the Piedmont game.
He could explain why one bad pass by the
center against Nebraska had spoiled good
foot ball player at Holy Name. He knew
whether Spencer of Southland really had been
drunk the night before the paCCle WIN S1IeaC
Valley and who had furnished him the liquor.
Kent lived with players, coaches, athletic
directors powerful alumni, graduate managers,
sport writer's. At 81 he had reached the place
where he could pass any gate from Bowdoin
to Stanford; from Notre Dame to Tulane.
He never bought ticket for a train or made
a hotel reservation. He would climb on any
section of the Twentieth Century during an
engine change and end by spending the night IN
lower berth even though the train was sold
out.
Dick discovered, took pride in never KNOW
ing how much money he had. He disliked 70
discuss prices of things or TO make terms.
When he sold one Of his score boards TO q
newspaper or the athletic committee OF col
lege he let the commission go to his credit with
the company and, when he found MS oluIolo
thinning, would ask for remittance by WIRE.
He sold his article and in that way made a
good living; but his chief business was really
his avocation, that Of trusted amateur expert
in the intricate details of management, de-
velopment, team policy.
I think Of him as a consulting engineer Tor
the coaches. He never broke a commence or
revealed anything that was not to be mace
known. But, Of course, he was compelled oc-
casionally to snub somebody who was TOO m
quisitive and for that reason he gained an
undeserved reputation for conceit. In company
where the men were really informed ne was
known for his true worth.

above its normal ability for that season.
AS the fourth period opened with Midland1a
ahead, 81 to 10, the quarter became Is min
utes of wits, with Storrow playing everything
safe to hold his margin. With about SIX MIN
utes to go, Kent murmured to Stor-ow:
"You remember what you said last year
when found Haymaker for you in Atlanta
sobered him up and got him on the held?"
What do you want to do? Collect? Storrow
chewed his unlighted cigar and glanced sioe-
wise at Kent.
The latter nodded. "It isn't much. You
can't lose this game unless your team has o
collective stroke of apoplexy. want you 20
stick this boy Merrill in for two or three plays.
Put him in and take him out, just for the sake
of his record He's no good; but I'd like to see
him in there for a minute or two
"And probably give them touchdown? Mer-
rill is supposed to be an end. Don't make me
laugh. What'n the papers say in the morning
if pull Collins for Merrill?"
"You know you can't lose, Chief. Let him
play defensive quarterback when there's no
chance of Southern kicking"
"You don't want much do you? Come out
to the house after the game and I'll give you
my car" 80.
Merrilrs girl. This is my sentimental day.
And he explained how things were.
Sorrows famous smile now crept over the
face that until now had been so stern. The
coach called down the long line OF players, sly.
ting there in their gray sweat shirts:
'.Hey, you, Merrill! Go in there and Let
them kill you"
No one but Kent and Storrow, of the thou
sands in the Enclosure that afternoon, knew
why No. rs went running onto the held, dis
placing Collins at right end. When Merrill
had reported in and Collins had come steam
ing out, Kent placed hand on Sorrows knee
and said:
"I guess I'll ease out. Got to get the
o'clock for st. Louis. Much obliged"
IA /FEN, on the second play after Freddie
w went in at right end, Fordyce, the South
egn fullback, went around him for rs yards
and a touchdown, Freddie f1inched. 1t looked
as If he had avoided the tackle.
So Storrow having won the game anyhow
In spite Of this unearned touchdown, told Mer-
ril himself how it was he happened to be In
the game, and Freddie, running true to his
saffron streak, gave the thing his own inter-
probation to the select few with whom ne broke
training that night.

straight from the field house and had an inter-
view with Janice in the library

her. "He said you were Merrill's girl. He did
