leaned over and kissed his cheek.
"I know it, sweet, and 1 want you
to win for Hamilton, and = for
me. I'm so proud of you, Ted"
Twenty minutes later the car
stopped before the girls dormi-
tory. Ted kissed Helen, furtively,
and let her out. Suppose Mrs.
Fenton's still on the rampage ?"
he asked. Mrs. Fenton, the house
mother. didn't approve of moon
light drives,
Helen nodded. Remember
Thursday night" softly.
How could I forget it?" Ted
whispered back. He grazed her
finger tips with his lips. You're
sweet, honey" he said. Then he
released the clutch of the roadster
and the car shot off into the
moon-drenched night. He turned
and waved a hand to Helen, and
she tossed a kiss after him into
lllC AA0A hilCoc. 1ISA Co lOlio" Sb
the car until it turned the corner
on College Avenue.
Helen was very much in love
with Ted Brent. All her previous
fiirtations, her temporary fascina-
tons, had meant nothing. She
knew that now. AS she walked
slowly up the walk to the dormi-
tory her fingers, unconsciously,
sought Ted's fraternity pin. Helen
always wore it over her heart.
The long, tapering fingers traced
over and over the design, carress-
ingly. With parting glance in
the direction he had gone, she
slipped quietly into the dormitory.
Thursday at five-thirty, just as
Helen was finishing her Greek
translations, she heard the phone
ringing in the hall. She wasn't ex-
pecting a call herself, but 1t
might be for Grace Brown, her
roommate, and Grace was out
Helen was surprised to hear Ted's
voice at the other end.
Sorry, honey, but the coach
called a special meeting of the
squad tonight. We're figuring out
some new plays. I won't be able
to get around Can't we make it
tomorrow she heard him say.
"Oh, Ted! I'm so disappointed.
Why can't Bryant have his old
meetings in the afternoons
I'm just as disappointed as
you are, sweet. I'll be thinking of
you though. Tomorrow, same
time, all right?"
All right" she said reluc.
tantly. "Tll be glad though when
the seasons over, Ted, and we
can be together more"
SOIL l, Helen, and - We'll be
champions then. See you tomor-
row. Bye"
CHE heard the receiver click at
y the other end. Well, Ted was
the captain, and the team needed
him. Perhaps she was being sell
fish wanting him so much. Re-
luctantly, she returned to her
books.
Less than half an hour later, as
Ted emerged from the gym, Fate
interceded.
"Hel-loo, Teddy" a friendly
voice greeted him. Coach Bryant
had just postponed the meeting,
and Ted was going out to phone
Helen that he'd be over after all.
1t was Betty Morton. well, if it
isn't the iron man in person, the
gridiron god, himself. How are
you OF boy OF boy. OF boy?"
why hello, Betty" Ted an
, swered. Whats on your mind ?"
Not a whole lot, Teddy. Got
10 get a book at Ruth Taylor's,
then I'm going back to the house.
Say, young fella, why can't you
drive me over? That is, if it
wouldn't inconvenience you"
Betty rolled pair of melting
brown eyes Ted's way - lovely,
pleading eyes, and, of course, Ted
agreed.
Ted waited in the car in front
of the Taylor home for Betty.
Suddenly he remembered that he
hadn't called Helen. He glanced
at his watch, and wished Betty
would hurry. He was glad that
she was going directly back to
the dormitory. She was a sorority
sister of Helen's, and lived in the
same house. He could drop her
there, and call Helen from FL
bert's Drug Store on the corner.
He was wondering how much
longer Betty would be, when he
saw her coming down the walk.
Sorry l kept you waiting,
Ted" she said. Doing anything
tonight ?"
why, yes, l just happened to
think of it while you were in the
house. I'm nearly an hour late"
ne lied. Let's get going"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Teddy. /
shouldn't have asked you to bring
me over" Betty's hand was on
his arm, and her eyes were look
ing into his as though her heart
