STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
Cal, Nov. 26.-Student senti.
ment here about Stanford's op.
ponent for the Rose Bowl game
on New Year Day was divided
into three factions.
The groups were divided as fol,
lows:
l. Favors inviting Notre Dame
despite the IriSh'S announcement
they prefer no post-season games.
2. Favors inviting the winner
of the Southern Methodist Texas
Christian game at Fort Worth on
Saturday.
3. Favors inviting Minnesota
or Princeton despite semi-official
word from these institutions they
cant make the trip" or inviting
New York University or Holy
Cross, both undefeated.
Keep Mum"
Alfred r. Masters, Stanford
graduate manager, and Tiny
Thornhill, head coach, are keep
ing mum" They will do the
selecting after holding q confer.
ence with the board Of athletic
control. And, they will make no
public announcement until the
opponent has accepted the invi-
tation.
Faction No. 3 is "out Of luck, &C
cording to student leaders, thus,
simmering the selection to Notre
Dame, Southern Methodist and
Texas Christian.
The group backing Notre Dame
lists several reasons for its choice
Remember Layden
One reason is the famous cele'
brated Stanford-Notre Dame Rose
Bowl game of several seasons ago
The hero for the Irish that day
was the ace of the famous -four
horsemen" Of that era, Elmer
Layden.
Stanford officials hold no scru-
pies against selection Of a South
west eleven as an Eastern" op
ponent.
ANY team east Of Pasadena is
an East team to u.s." Masters
said. The Southwest plays great
football and we have no bars
against any team in Texas"
Here is Stanford'S record at the
Rose Bowl. Beat Pittsburgh. 7-6;
tied Alabama. TT, and lost to
Notre Dame, 27-l0: lost to Colum
bia, 10, and lost to Alabama

and smiled.
The next morning Jim arrived at
the bungalow rather early. He heard
a splash and saw Jessica diving from
the stern of a small boat anchored
just off the beach. He hailed her
and she came in.
He almost forgot what he had to
say when he saw her in the trim little
green one-piece suit.
"I'm dazzled and breathless be-
cause of your beauty" he said.
"Oh-well, a girl likes to hear it
even when she knows it is flattery."
He shook his head.
81 came to say that I am helping
Mr.. Harper move down to another
island, but am going to remain. I
shall see you tomorrow?
Good! How splendid"
Jim did see her next day and many,
many other days. Nose had it easy,
for Harper had ceased to fish and
seldom had dinner in camp.
He went to the mainland now and
then for candy and flowers and one
day he came back with ring-a most
beautiful ring.
He put is on Jessica's finger that
night, in the moonlight, and then held
her in his arms for ever so long while
they discussed marriage plans.

In the afternoon Jim shaved, put or
his white flannels and made his way
to the Parkman portable bungalow.
Jessica was down on the beach do
ing nothing at all more important than
sitting sand through fingers that had
become plump, tanned and steady.
Dobson saw Jim approaching and
tried to head him off just as Jessica
looked up and smiled at him.

"Never mind" Jim said, "Miss Park

laughed, jumped up and motioned to
him.

that he is leaving my island at once,

go. It isn't your fault that he brought
you here, but I simply will not have

"Now am embarrassed" Jim said,
"but I seem to be helpless in the mat

"Dear Miss Parkman: If Mr.. Harper
did not own this island he would va

Jessica frowned, stamped her foo

"He is just being stubborn. Won
you remain to dinner Mr.. Robinson
We must talk this over"
Jim eagerly accepted.
They sat on the grass cushions or
the beach and watched the sun disap.
pear over the rim of the mainland.
They talked about many things
places they had visited, people they
knew. Jessica found that she was
we'll acquainted with the Suttons,
friends of Jim. They had much in
common, it seemed.
Jim had already lost his heart to
the beautiful Jessica and she was
finding that he was in reality "dar-
ling, just as she had first sized him
up and told her mother.
After dinner they sought the moon
light.
"Look here, Mr.. Robinson" Jessica
said. just as he was getting ready
to depart, eff you can prevail upon
