touchdown on the local gridiron.
Washington collected four touch

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Duke's
Blue Devils, the Horned Frogs of
Texas Christian University and the
gray-clad Cadets of the United
States Military Academy battled
through the last big Saturday of the
1888 football season to greater grid
iron fame today.
Duke completed an undefeated,
united and unscored-on season with
rather surprising 7-to-0 conquest
of Pittsburgh, one of the East's
strongest teams. before a Southern
record crowd of $4,000. T. c. U.
finished a perfect season in the
tough Southwest Conference by
routing Southern Methodist, its
only challenger for the conference
title, 20 to 7.
The seasons largest crowd, 102 900
in the Philadelphia Municipal Sta
dium, saw Army wipe out those two
defeats that marred an ordinary
season by whipping Navy. IA to Z,
in the 39th game of the colorful
service rivalry.
Cadet Comeback Remarkable.
The Cadets staged remarkable
comeback to score their winning
touchdown on an uninterrupted 81
yard march in the third quarter
after Navy had pushed them all
over the frozen field to tie the score
at TT in the first. A 79-yard run
back of a punt by Charles (Huey)
Long brought the first Army score.
Dukes Eric (the Red) Upton
virtually kicked Pitt into defeat
with booming puntS that set the
Panthers back toward their goal
line, but 1t was Willard Perdue who
finished the job of making it a
perfect season. He blocked a punt
and recovered it for the only touch
down that made the Blue Devils
likely nominees for an invitation
to play in the Rose Bowl New
Years day.
Texas Christian also got in line
for bowl bid, probably the Cot
ton Bowl, by overpowering s. M. U.
Connie Sparks blasted the Mustang
line and Davey O'Brien tossed
troublesome passes behind the big
Horned Frog line and it was all
over before the Methodists could
score on blocked kick in the last
quarter.
One other team, Texas Tech, rang
up the 10th victory of an undefeat-
ed, united season by whipping Mar
quette 81 to 2. Oklahoma's Soon
ers, who have one more game to
play, rang up their 18th straight
victory and their ninth this sea-
son by beating Oklahoma A. and
NJ, 1910. Boston College, twice
tied, met its first defeat of the sea-
son when Holy Cross, paced by
Bullet Bill Osmanski and Ronnie
Cahill, smashed its way to a 29-7
victory in a renewal of one of the
East's old rivalries.
Fordham picked up a little glory
by whipping its Bronz rival, New
York University, $50.
Mississippi earned a chance to
claim some of Tennessee's honors
in the Southeastern Conference by
trimming Mississippi State 1876.
Ole Miss plays Tennessee next week

status by upsetting the unbeaten

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 26.-Some
80-odd athletes will be running after
Indiana's Don Lash in the senior
national 10000 0-meter cross country
championship tomorrow and, If the
weatherman's prediction comes true,
they'll also be running to keep warm.
The cold snap, which has allowed
little melting of the blanket of snow,
is expected to continue over the
week end, but it isn't calculated to
be held as Importantly by the con-
testants as is the mass drive to pre-
vent Lash from extending his VIM
ming streak to five in a row.
Lash Holds Court Mark.
Lash set the course record Of
32::37 in his 1886 triumph. Soggy
conditions slowed him down to 1851
last year. Experts in the rigorous
sport estimate that unless the
weather gets worse, the winners
time probably will be as good as
last years.
Speaking of the winner, there
wasn't a soul in sight who was
ready tonight to question Lash's
superiority. The 2-mile marvel is
out to build himself up for a
place in the 1910 Olympic team
with the definite objective to lead
the durable Films to the wire in
the next international carnival.
Some Keen Opposition.
Lash's principal opposition is ex-
pected to come from Gene Venzke,
Tommy Deckard. Lloyd Cooke, Iron
Man Joe McCluskey, Gregory Rice,
Vince Carnivale, Tom Quinn, Pat
Dengis and Lou Gregory.
Manhattan College was rated
good chance to capture the team
championship which will be de-
Tended by the Millrose A. AS eight,
man team. The New York A. c.,
counting largely on McCluskey.
Gregory and Venzke, also was held

CHAPTER v
THE MOUNTAIN CAMP

Here, on the shoulder Of Mon.
arch peak, was where the trail
proper began. and POGO spent some
time casting around the marble
slabs Of this gray and silent desert
for 1t. Picking up the tracks of a
horse on the snow blanket, he got
the direction, followed it closer to
the peak, and finally saw where
the trail began its ascent.
1t had been built on the south
side of the peak to get the sun,
and Immediately it began to lift.
He rode as far as he could on it's
narrow and tortuous shelf until
he began to feel a crawling fear
when he looked below him.
Rounding the shoulder Of it now,
he came to snow. The man be-
fore him had broken a kind of
trail and POGO led his sorrel
through it. Where the SHOWS had
melted on the south face it was
most treacherous. Shored UP in
some spots, it had been almost
washed away by the melting
SHOWS, and in these places POGO
felt trapped as he never felt be
fore.
All through that afternoon POGO
kept his eyes glued to the trail
resting in spots where the trail
widened enough to sit down. The
flanking shoulder Of the peak
leveled off somewhat higher up
but as If to offset this advantage
the trail became narrower. Hi:
breath came short and labored in
the thin air, and the frosty noun
tain gusts seemed bent on tearing
him away from the wall.
Now he could see where the
trail had been shoveled clear OF
the snow, and he guessed that
these people on top, expecting
their messengers, had worked
down from the top with shovels
The trail almost circled the peak
now with sleeper and sleeper
switchbackS.
And then. when he was on the
south face, he saw the trail widen
in front of him. He looked up
Ahead there seemed to be a cleared
space. He rounded the shoulder
The Washington times., 1938-01-24

And now he reflected that Two.
Way had the makings of a great
man, crooked or honest, because
no detail had been too small for
his cunning mind. Two-Way had
even ridden this way and had
carefully mapped out a route that
would take him to the trail that
led to the San ions peaks.
BY midafternoon POGO had
picked up the freight trail and
followed it. Crossing a packpine
cienaga in late afternoon, POGO
saw the tracks Of a single horse
in the mud. They were more than
a day old, and going his way,
That, he reflected, would be the
man posing as Herb Shelton, the
other insurance agent who had
been downed on the Tularosa
stage. Who would it be? A man
with brains enough to accept POGO
as a partner until they got the
gold down from the peaks, a man
that would call him Jake Finger
and ask after his days on the
trail and engage in small talk of
mutual friends while Shayne
looked on and suspected nothing ?
Or would 1t be a fool, who would
try to give him away as an i'm
postor?
When dusk fell, he was a little
short of timber line, and he made
his camp in the v of two recent
windfallS, and built a fire.
BY noon Of the next day he was
high in the boulder fields above
timber line, with a steady, frost
laden wind riding off the peaks
toward him. There was snow here
on the north side of rocks, and
as he threaded his way higher
Spotting an occasional spoor of
the other mans horse, these spots
