tons of steel rings will be brought
in to support the excavation
Close behind the working face, the

The extensive equipment required
to carry on such a complex cycle
of operations has been assembled
from many sources. Alterations
and revisions have been made on
the job in order to Incorporate the
experience gained from the many
tunnelling projects which have
been done elsewhere. Tunnelling
work at Fort Peck through the
Bearpaw shale is different from
most tunnel jobs in that the con-

MONKEYS are the only ones
provided with prehensile tails.
Il You have no doubt seen both
of them in geological gardens and
have noticed that this fellow does not
have woody hair. He is built along
sturdy lines, with exceptionally long
arms and legs.
Capuchins have wonderful DISPOSE
tions and are the most easily taught
of all the American monkeys. They
are the partners, too, you most often
see with organ grinders, and they
seem to be able to thrive under most
unhealthful conditions.
Among themselves they are friendly,
and are to be seen travelling in troups.
In Brazil they love to go to the for
ests, where they can climb to the tops
of the lofty trees. They apparently
prefer to spend all their time here,
and are rarely seen on the ground.
In the early morning hours they race
about among the branches, hunting
for breakfast. Birds have little piece of
mind where these creatures occupy
the same tree. Eggs, fledglings and
birds, besides tender shoots, fruits
and berries, are eagerly hunted. Large
and tender insects are nibbled with
evident delight.
AS far as you can tell, they have
established routes through the topmost
branches. seemingly quite happy over
the journey. as they race speedily

Stevens by the collar of his jersey.

Stevens pulled away from him with

I tackled him from the side, didn't
I, fellows?" No one answered.
Here, none of that out here" repri-
manded Coach Bertwell. Then putting
his arm around Stevens, who was
obviously excited, he said softly, I'm
sorry you played him that way, Ste

is mighty dangerous.
Guess I didn't realize what I was

not to let him cross the goal line.

Don't ever slip up like that again.
You might kill man that way"
II won't, Coach. I'm sure of that"
Chuck was carried of the field and
laid on his cot in the gym. His back
was badly wrenched, and he could not
move without causing himself great
pain. You'll have to rest quietly for
a few days" said Doc Overton, until
we see how you come along. It'll be
two weeks or more before you can
scrimmage again"
Chuck didn't say word. He lay
there thinking Of the player who had
put him out Of business. His eyes
cleaned with pent-up emotion and
anger.
After Tubby had brought him his
dinner from the grill, Stevens came
up to see him. Tubby glowered at him,
but Stevens pretended not to notice
him. Hughes walked away. I'm awful
sorry, Arnold" Stevens began, IT
really am. I don't know what came

cowardly trick, and I went through
with it. was low-down fool, Arnold
and feel that the best thing I can
do is quit the squad and go home.
It's the lowest thing I've ever done
in my life. I was jealous of you.
You were beating me out for my job,
or the job I began to think was mine.
I just went to pieces. Please forgive
me. I'll do anything to see that you

sympathetically We all make mis-
takes now and then. Forget about it..
I'll be o. K. right soon. It's nothing
serious. Just sprained back. What
eyer you do, Paul, don't quit the team.
That would be tough on Bertwell and
the college. We're about the only two
pilots Bertwell has any confidence in
at all"
Gee, you're swell, Arnold. If you
can't get around to our quarterback
sessions, I'll come down right after
them with all the dope and we can
go over 1t together. Then you won't
be missing any of the important stuff.
I think Bertwell has some sequences
OF plays he wants us to work out with
him, and some strategic plans of at
