CHAPTER ii
Synopsis

Our hero has been told by Helen
Smith that she would marry q man
for money. Carl loves her with all
his heart. but he is going with
Caroline Haley. the daughter OF a
wealthy physician. Helen suggested
Carl's marriage TO Caroline because
he is a senior in Medical school.
Carl has a determination to do
something since learning Helen's
thought.
co on WITH THE STORY
Helen. II you won't marry me.
will you promise to let me see you
at least once year after I'm
married :"
why should I promise. CARL"
Because love you Isn't that
enough ." he said softly with
feeling ...
She hung her head and pulled
another blade Of grass and slid il
through her thin lips and looked of
into distance -.
Helen please make the
promise"
Yes. Carl. I'll let you see me-
Helen. / must go now. III see
you later" he said.
"All right" she replied non
chalantly.
He stared at her for a second
and arose and left for the dormi-
tory.
That night al supper Carl fin
shed early and after carrying his
tray Of dirty dishes TO the window,
walked TO Caroline's table and sat
beside her.
Hello. Carl she said as she sat
down. why the grim look on your
face ,"
Il want to talk to you May
we go outside ,"
Surely" she answered somewhat
mystified at his suddenness and
arose to leave the table.
He quickly carried her tray to
the window and returned and they
left for the lobby and took a seat
in the corner on glider where
they could be alone together.
Caroline he began suddenly
with seriousness do you really
love me as you say you do?" he
asked.

Pro Football

That the college boys no longer
have an exclusive franchise on foot
ball interest has been proved by the
increased attendance at profession
al games.
Despite the handicap Of poor
weather conditions early in the sea-
son, attendance at National football
league contests is running 10 per
cent ahead of the record set last
year. The pro teams appear to
gain public attention and approval
year by year, and many make at
least enough money to keep going
and show some profit.
Professional football has no seri-
Gus problems outside those that con-
front any other business enterprise
that involves the element Of show
manship. 1t has governed itself re-
markably well, especially in the
matter of avoiding interference with
the college game by taking players
before graduation, and in general
has kept its house in excellent or
der as far as the general public
knows.

Those Sore Arms

Here's new theory for the cause
of this seasons epidemic of sore
arms among major league pitchers.
Tom Daily, veteran Red Sox coach,
blames it onto short undersleeves
and all along we thought it was
the lively ball.
DAILY should know, because he has
caught such pitchers as Walter
johnson, Red Faber, Grover Alex
ander, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Tyler
and others.
"All this stuff about the lively bali
causing these arm ailments this sea-
son is the bunk" said DAILY.
''They like to pitch with short I'M
dersleeves or no sleeves at all. What
they are doing is inviting trouble.
In wearing those fimsy undershirts
they're doing the equivalent Of
sticking their arms in front of an
electric fan.
''Kid pitchers now are wearing
fancy polo shirts at night" deplored
iele veteran. "Its like putting out
the welcome sign for Old Man Pneu-
monia."
