but the crowd reared its delight.
That made it 17-12 for State. Really
not such rout. Kirby thought, as it
might have been. His own team was
playing good ball. way over its head;
it might have made an upset tonight if
Merne had not been playing. -.
The half was almost over. Offense
broke to defense and back to offense
with the incredibly quick, fluid mo-
ton seen only in good basketball
teams. McHale, his rubber soles SEEM
ingly welded for brief moments to the
shining wood. bobbed and wove like
great spider in front of Merne. Merne
couldn't 60 past him. He dribbled
across court and McHale moved with
him. long arms raised. Merne cut,
turned. twisted, but McHale, a little
desperate, stayed with him. Merne
broke right after a left feint with his
head and almost got away. Lewis, one
of his own guards, came down the side
line, McHale moving unconsciously
into his path as Merne cut. Heavily,
Lewis crashed into McHale and
McHale fell with equal heaviness
across one of Merne's crooked legs,
bent as he cut.
Even from the bench and with noise
all about him. Kirby could hear
Merne's half-choked ysip of agony.
The boy rolled on the shining floor,
clutching at his lower thigh.
Noise died to a hush. A student
manager said in Kirby's ear: Nov
maybe we can CO." Kirby nodded
mechanically and his blood began to
hum in his ears. Now his club had
chance, he told himself, but as the gun
ended the half and he rose to follow
his team to their dressing-room, some
thing troubled him.
1t continued to trouble him as he
spoke to his team in the warm room,
smelling of sweat and wintergreen.
They hadn't found themselves until
tonight, he told them. But now they
had become a good ball club. They
might even be leading, he went on. if
Merne hadn't been throwing them in
off his ear. But now Merne was out,
Kirby went on; now they could
ramble.
When he had finished, he knew his
boys believed him, knew they would
be hot for the second half. But when
he had finished, something still
troubled Kirby. He felt that he would
have to go in and look at Shadow
Merne's leg.
OF course, he didn't have to look at
Merne's leg. A healer" was supposed
to help anyone he could. but he,
Kirby, didn't really have to help
Merne. Still wondering why he did so,
Kirby went down the dim corridor to
the visiting teams locker. You're a
fool" a voice in him said. Its like
throwing your job out the window"
But Kirby kept moving. The tips OF
his fingers burned. Some part of his
mind kept reviewing the types of in
juries he knew. trying to classify
Merne's from the way the boy had
fallen, the way the leg had been bent.
He knocked at the door of the train
inp-room and Lavelle, the State coach,
opened it. frank surprise on his face.

He went out into the corridor and
its coolness told him he was sweating.
Some curious assurance was with him,
as though he were sure of his destiny.
He told himself that even if he did lose
tonight and went out, he could con-
meet with a small school, but that
didn't seem to be the answer.
His own team came out of the dress
ing-room as he went to open the door.
They looked eager, ready to 60. and
for an instant Kirby wondered if he
had betrayed them. Them, perhaps.
but somehow not himself.
Merne did not start the second half
for State. Kirby stopped his introspec-
ton and wondered if he had really
fixed Merne's leg we'll enough to play.
A small part of him hoped this was
not so. They might beat State then
and he would save his job.
He had read his own team right.
They we're hot. From the opening
whistle they started to 60 and cut into
States lead until at the quarter they
were only a point behind. 1922.
An excited buzz filled the hall. The
excitement went into Kirby. 1t was
good to see this team of his find them
selves. stirring to see them come back
this way.
There was movement on the State
bench, player bending to take off
sweatshirt and there, a new white
bandage marking him, was Shadow.
Merne, coming back into the game.
Half the roar that rose was of unbelief.
They had seen him carried off less
than an hour ago.
Now Kirby watched the boy with a
curious professional interest, wonder
ing if his own work would hold up. He
could almost feel that the injured leg
was now partly his own.
Merne came in, shook hands with
McHale. smiling a little as McHale
obviously tensed. The ball rose in the
air, the State center tapped it to his
right and Merne took it, dribbled
savagely, but couldn't cut and McHale
had him in a corner. Merne stopped
abruptly, feinting with the ball. Kirby
with satisfaction saw that the leg
stood up, that his work was good.
Merne made long bounce-pass out
to a guard and cut. The guard passed
back, but McHale was between Merne
and the basket. Merne went into the
slot, but couldn't pass to his closely
guarded team mates. He feinted to his
right, turned halfway to his left and
his right arm and hand moved in an
overland gesture. The ball sailed
through the hoop without touching it.
although Merne's back was to the
basket.
Judge" said the student manager
sitting next to Kirby, with touch of
rueful humor: Judge. he's out again"
Satisfaction with his own work
changed in Kirby to something darker.
McHale. worried, bobbed and wove in
front of Merne, stopped all orthodox
shots, but knowing, as Kirby knew.
that when someone threw them off his
ear and they went in, there was moth
ing to do.
Merne went madly down the left
sideline, McHale hot after him, stopped
sharply in the corner and his left arm
moved in a gesture familiar because
it was graceful as all Mene's gestures
were graceful, the ball hit the back
board lightly, and glanced into the
basket.
Then Kirby knew it was the end.
They could never catch State now
with Merne in and his leg we'll. 1t was
all over and tomorrow he, Kirby,

"Merne." he said first: then: "How is
he?"
mot too bad" Lavelle said. His
voice was cool.
Can take a look?"
Lavelle hesitated. Sure" he said,
suddenly remembering: DOC"
Kirby went through the door into
room he had always found beautiful.
All the paraphernalia of modern train
ing was assembled in it, the large
square, black and silver diathermy
machine, its surface all dials and knobs
and little posts; the machine for infra-
red rays: the one for ultraviolet; in a
corner a whirlpool bath; in another
corner a machine for exercising a
separate muscle or set of muscles with
out effort on some injured boys part.
In the neat wall-closets was an in
credible array of bottles and tubes
and in the center of the room were
two slanted rubbing tables.
Merne lay on one of these, very still,
his eyes closed, two or three men
standing near him. Lavelle introduced
Kirby to the men. One Of them was a
doctor. Lavelle said: You've all
heard of Doc Kirby?"
They shook hands with Kirby, the
doctor with faint, pleasant sneer on
his face, an almost amused twinkle in
his eye. Kirby had seen it in other
doctors faces. had seen it 60 away,
most of it. when he had done his work.
1t did not make Kirby angry. but it
crystallized some grimness in him.
He turned to Lavelle. Mind if
look at him?'
mo :" Lavelle's face was the
face of a man who has seen but does
not quite believe.
Why he was doing this, the name of
the quiet madness which seemed to
have seized him, were things Kirby
did not know He had, incredibly and
completely. forgotten about conse-
quences and material values, and
moved as though controlled by some
power outside himself or by some in
ner compulsion too strong to be
denied.
Someone moved a lamp and a cone
of light shot onto Merne's barred leg.
Kirby's hands moved surely, lightly.
but moan escaped from the boys
lips. In the room was silence and
Kirby had forgotten the names Of the
people in the room. although he knew
they we're there, so many shadows out
side the cone of bright light.
Merne was still again, quiet. Kir-
by's hands returned to their work,
probed gently into the strained flesh.
found there was no pull or break, but
something that could easily be ad-
justed.
Kirby spoke to the shadows outside
the light. Hold him." Two of the
shadows moved and took Merne's
arms. Kirby fexed the boys leg, his
fingers bit deep into the flesh. then
twisted suddenly, seemingly of their
own volition. Merne cried once and
the leg jumped in Kirby's hands. then
dropped, quivering slightly.
Kirby spoke to the shadows again:
Tape. Quick. In inch and half-inch
strips"
He rested a moment, his hands on
the edge of the table. Someone tore
tape and someone else handed it to
Kirby. The fingers that handed it to
Kirby we're the long, well-manicured
ones of the doctor.
He began to apply the strips in a
definite, intricate, overlapping, criss-
crossing pattern. Kirby wove in a few
moments one of the fine, incredibly
effective bandages that only the most
expert trainers can make. Just before

THE TURN FROM TOWNSENDISM

Like so many movements founded on single individual, the widely heralded Townsend plan now seems headed for the scrap heap Oregon, neighbor state to California where the plan had it's origin, has turned thumbs down candidates running on McNary the veteran Oregon Republican. Senator McNary has strong personal following in his home state much as Senator Borah has in Idaho but the small vote given the Townsendites reveals rather clearly that Oregon will have part of the Cali forna doctors plan.
 The Congressional investigation into affairs of the Townsend organization probably has considerable to do with the turn away from the movement While millions in sympathy with an old age pension plan, the fact that such large amounts of money poured into the Townsend coffers in nickels and dimes from people in advanced years who could Ill afford contribute has caused the voters to stop and think They are beginning to wonder if the promo ton fund garnered to advance the Townsend cause is not overshadowing what was represented to be a noble purpose.
 It probably has been little hard for the voters in Oregon to understand about that former Seattle policeman in northern California taking in S250O a month from elderly persons for advancement of the plan in Congress. In other words the voters have whether right wrong, smeed racket" It may be that the Townsend founders purely intended but the repercussions of the congressional nvestiga ton are raising havoc with their forces
 The original scheme was to have control of Con- gress by l94O. If the present trend is accurate indication the movement will be fortunate to be alive four years hence, let alone holding the balance in congressional halls.
