|. c. IA TITLE
NEXT OBJECTIVE
OF TROJAN TEAM
BY LEICESTER WAGNER
United Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. May 10. (U.P)-
This probably will be q crushing
blow to the East. but the fact re-
mains both Coaches. Dean Crom-
well of Southern California and
Dink Templeton of Stanford plan
to win the national inter- collegiate
A. A. A. A. track meet at philadel-
phia May % and 30.
The Troians proved they will be
a power to be reckoned with two
weeks hence when they made a
runaway race of the California
intercollegiate meet here Saturday,
piling up 90 points to Stanford's 40.
University of California. as expect
ed, garnered only 10 digits and the
University of California at Los An
geles, 2.
On paper, il would appear that
either of the California institutions
had a fine chance to win the ma
tional title again this year. For the
past five years. these teams have
monopolized major honors in the
east.
Said Coach Cromwell:
If Bob Hall duplicates his per-
formances of last Saturday in the
shot and discus, We'll win the meet
To all intents and purposes, Hall
will repeat. He had been slow to
get into action this year because of
a bad wrist, but Saturday he de-
feated two of Stanford's weight aces
to take second in both events, push
ing the shot 4S feet inches and
the discus Isl feet.
Cromwell declared his team will
win four events at Philadelphia,
plus q goodly number of odd points.
He expects Frank Wykoff, national
sprint champion, to win the hun
dred-yard dash. Wykoff equalled
the recognized worlds record of
9 $40 seconds Saturday.
Cromwell today announced the
names of Is men whom he will take
to Philadelphia for the big meet.
They are Frank Wykoff and Milton
Maurer in the l00-yard dash; Roy
Delby in the 220-yard dash; Will
liams and Art Woessner in the
ouarter-mile: Victor Fitzmaurice in
the half-mile; Cliff Halstead in the
mile: Payne and william Carls in
the low hurdles; Grabcr in the pole
vault: Dick Barber in the broad
Jump: Hall in the shot and discus,
and Kenneth Mckenzie in the jaye-
lin.
If the university sanctions the
expense of a larger team. Cromwell
will add the names of Jim Stewart
and Duncan McNaughtcn in the
high jump, Bill Stokes and Joe Bills
in the high hurdles, Pete Chlentzlos
in the vault. Earl Callahan in the
mile, and Bill McGeagh in the half
mile

The police had arrived. They asked some questions. The prison CTS ropes were removed and hand cuffs snapped around his wrists.
 Taking along the dame?" the man asked.
 "The dame?" The officers eyes swept the group of people. What do you mean?"
 "The inside part of the game. There was woman in on this That gal in the blue over there. She doesn't look like the type. but the innocent stuff got over this time. Vamped a doctor and got him to bring her."
 Coming straight?" the officer asked.
 "Sure stuff. Don't ask me what it's about. The chief dosen't spill any secrets. But you can't take me without taking her, too, and we were told there was woman in the thing"
 "What have you got to say for yourself?" the officer looked at Sue. He was young and he was embarrassed. He didn't want to take her along, quite plainly. But he knew that duty might force him to.
 "I'll have to take some of you down to headquarters to tell what happened" the policeman said.
 Certainly" Suave courtesy in Thomas Andrews voice. May Miss Merryman ride with me? pledge my honor, as host, that I will de- liver her safely"
 That's quite unnecessary" Dr Barnes answered. "I'll see that she arrives safely"
 Thank you" Sue managed to smile as she said it. But she

tears. There was no attempt now to hide them. Chris coughed.
 "Oh, I'll get over it." she said with an attempt at .carelessness. Never mind about me"
 But I do mind. A lott. After all you've done for me do you think I'm going to have you feel ing blue and miserable? Listen, let's plan to do something inter- esting over the weekend. Take a trip somewhere, maybe. We could be extravagant just for once. Where'll we go?"
 Chris got to her feet. Well talk about it later,' she said. Think I'll turn in now" She moved toward the alcove where the studio beds stood. masked in daytime draperies.
 Was there any relevancy in the fact that few minutes later she turned to say over her shoulder, Twin six coupe. It's to have spe- cial body"
 It was not unusual for Chris to refer to her employer so familias> ly. Brad" was what everyone at the Hart Advertising Agency called Bradley Hart when they were not | addressing him directly. As a mat ter of fact Hart's golfing compan- ions, acquaintances at his two clubs and the men and women with whom he was seen at theaters and supper resorts called him Brad.

I'm suspicious of handsome heroes who dash around rescuing damsels in distress. Yes, even rescuing mangy pups! By the way, if you want a name for that prize pack age you're holding I'd call him Mud"
 Chris dropped to the davenport besides Norma and gave the dogs floppy ear an affectionate tug. "I'll admit the rascal's cunning" she went on, "but now that you've got 1t what do you expect to do with it?"
 That's what haven't decided yet. I'd love to keep him, but of course know we can't" Again she salvaged sleeve button from the rapacious animal.
 Well. at least we might feed him." suggested Chris rising. Maybe the hound likes other things besides buttons" She dis appeared behind the screen at the opposite side of the room. There was small ice box concealed from view there. In a moment she re- turned, bearing saucer of milk. Chris spread newspaper on the floor, put down the saucer, then the dog. Immediately the small red tongue began tapping furiously.
 Your pet hasn't been over-eat- ing recently"
 Why, he must have been starved!" I should have thought about giving him something to eat," Norma said contritely.
 Chris ignored this. She sat down, one foot curled comfort ably beneath her. Then you didn't learn your handsome hero's name?" she asked, returning to the earlier subject of conversation.
 'He said it was Travers. Mark Travers. Maybe that was just a stall, though, the same as saying he'd met me at the Palais Royal. You know" the girl admitted. T sort of liked him until he said that. oh, how I do hate pick ups!" Norma pounded the padded arm of the davenport with a vengeful fist. .
 "They all do it, baby. Haven't you lived long enough to learn that yet?" Chris tone was caustic again. "Travers-" She repeat ed the name slowly. Maybe your boy friend is old F. M. Travers'

just outside Hart's private office, who listed his appointments. mailed checks for his bills, tele- phoned his orders to the florist,
 knew Bradley Hart far better than
 any of these others did. Once more the puppy claimed Norma's attention. She carried
 the animal downstairs to consult
 Mrs Hawthorne, custodian of the
 building. about quartering him on the premises. There was no use trying to deceive Mrs Hawthorne.
 Such step would have been quite
 impossible.
 Luck was with Norma. The GUS
 todians daughter answered the
 knock. 1t developed that Mrs Hawthorne was out of town for a few days. Until her return Bessie, the daughter, said the dog might sleep in the basement. Meanwhile,
 she cautioned. Norma had better be looking for some other shelter for the pup because Bessie was
 quite sure that mama wouldn't like it."
 She repeated the warning twice
 and emphatically. It was this warning that at noon next day sent the girl hurrying into the big gray
 stone building of the Marlboro
 Press. She inquired for the classi- fled advertising department. And with that the really amazing
 events of Norma Rents life be-
 gan.

 Sacco is a deaf mute and his off, ficial referee for the regular Mon- day night ball games between two '.silent" clubs at the Wiltz gymas- ium here. All players are like wise deaf mutes as is the cheering section, composed chiefly of wives and families of She players.
 The games are played in silence. broken only occasionally by hand clapping when a pitcher strikes out three in a row or somebody knocks a ''homer."

 Marriage. Holy bonds. What am I going to do about it, Chris |? I've told him three times that I just want to go on being friends but 1t doesn't seem to make any impression. Bob's been getting well, different lately! don't know what to do."
 "why don't you marry him?" "Because I don't want to! Real ly, Chris, Bob doesn't seem to be the same boy lately. He's always getting sentimental and that starts an argument. Then the first thing you know we're fighting.
 He's in love with you, infant. He's in love with you and Bob Farrelrs a young man lots of girls would give thier eye teeth to land"
 "Chris Saunders! Are you actu- ally telling me ought to marry Bob ?"
 Instantly the other girl object ed. Nothing of the sort! It'll be far day when your little friend, Chris, starts telling anyone how to run their lives. can't even chauf- feur my own. I'm not telling you to marry Bob. Ionly say Bob's grade-A applicant, and-well. isn't it a rotten sort of life to be tied to an office day after day? Six days a week. Fifty weeks a year. Mar rying a man like Bob Farrell would be a lot better than that. Some times think I can't stand 1t an- other day. Sometimes-!"
 Her words broke. There was a pitch of hysteria in the choking tones.
 "Why, Chris, darling! Chris, you mustn't talk like this!"
 Norma caught the other girls hand. You're not yourself to- night" she went on. You're all worn out and tired. It's because you've been working too hard late ly! You've got to stop it .Whys honey, I can't have you feeling like this-!"
 Chris had turned away. She brushed one hand across her eyes and it came away moist with

dog? Where, I repeat, did you find such an object?'
 She was the old Chris again. No tears now, no signs of them. Chris low-pitched, throaty voice was bantering. Intensely warm-heart- ed, it was her pose to assume cri- tical aloofness. Norma, knowing this, paid no attention to her rail- ing.
 Don't you think Wowser would be a nice name for him?" she asked. The poor thing was lost, Chris. He was all alone in the middle of Broad street with cars whizzing left an dright. saw him as was on my way to meet Bob"
 Once more Norma told the story of the puppy's rescue. This time she gave full details and due credit to the stranger who had played such an important part in the af- fair.

 Chris Saunders leaned her head backward, shot a quizzical glance at her roommate.
 "Hm!" she said quietly. "Was he good-looking
 "Not bad. To tell the truth he was-well. rather attractive"
 "So-a handsome hero! And he wanted to bring you home in a cab. Suppose he had any idea how much a trip to this elegant neigh borhood would set him back?" Chris put the question dryly.
 Norma's blue eyes widened. "Why, of course not! He didn't know where I was going. You don't suppose told him that, do your"
 The older girl laughed easily. "No, lamb. Of course not. Only

The girl was troubled. Not half a dozen times in the years she had known Chris Saunders had she seen her give way to tears. It . was always Chris who listened to other peoples difficulties, Chris who was capable, sympathetic, who made things come right when life was g. hopeless snarl. It was Chris who had been stauch friend to Norma at the time she most need ed one.
 We'll, there was nothing to do but wait and hope
 Suddenly Norma remembered events earlier in the evening. She turned to the chair where she had dropped the stray puppy. The puppy was not there.
 Almost instantly she spied him, wobbling with awkward steps to- ward a pillow that had fallen from the davenport. There was an in- vestigative tilt to the pups nose, zest for exploration even in the way he bore his stub of a tail. Here was dog out to see what manner of a place was this into which fortune had hurled him.
 With sweeping movement the girl caught up the little animal, rubbing his head gently with one forefinger. It was impossible not to smile at his ridiculous, round- eyed solemnity. Norma seated her. self, the pup on her lap, and re- garded him thoughtfully.
 Lust then Chris entered. She had changed the black frock for an orchid negligee. Chris halted on the threshold.
 "Well-! Where in the world did THAT come from?"
 Norma looked up, smiling. Isn't he adorable? Look-he likes to chew buttons!" She drew the cuff of her blouse out of biting dis tance of those tiny white teeth.
 Adorable? Looks to me like a cross between a breakfast food and a ball of yarn. Honestly. Is it a

glanced at Thomas Andrews im- mediately afterward, and saw the sinister look in his eyes as he glanced at Dr Barnes.
 And now to Sue the whole thing seemed like a play. Too ridiculous to be believed. A fantastic thing that grew worse every minute. She herself, with a few words, could have cleared the whole thing. But she didn't want to. She wanted 10 make thes people feel small and cheap and selfish when they dis covered how cruel they had been. It would serve them right.
 She was angry. She was amused. She was hurt. But she wasn't at all frightened.
 She decided that she had better tell Dr Barnes about the accident that she had experienced when she had gone driving with Jean Brady. He would understand. She ought to let him know that she was the daughter of the man who had been proved innocent in the bank robbery of her home town, and the girl who was engaged to marry the young attorney who had helped clear him.
 The road back to town didn't seem very long. It seemed to Sue that she must be leaving all the discomfort behind her. On stage some place. But when the car pulled up in front of the jail she knew that she was taking it right along with her.
 The jail looked familiar. She had been there such few nights be- fore following Jean Brady's acci- dent. She seemed to have pen chant for getting into trouble lately.
 The desk sergeant recognized her. .'Hello!" He made two pro- longed syllables out of the word. Back again."
 "Again ?" Something in the start led surprise of Lois Andrews voice gave Sue an idea.
