These and other statements which
will not stand up under any test of
logic or consistency are to be found
in the address-are, in fact, to be
found in all of them. However, the
top of Fridays talk was the extraor-
binary assertion that, though while as
Mr.. Roosevelt he intended to partici-
pate in the State primaries where it
seemed desirable, as President he
would remain wholly aloof. That was
the prize piece of effrontery. If the

adopted the effective way of dealing
with them-at least over the radio.

of which almost any degree of intelli
gence would detect. There was, for
example, the pride with which he
spoke of carrying out the promises Of
his 1886 platform, coupled with con-
spicuous neglect to mention the COM
pleteness with which he had violated
those in the 1882 platform. There was,
too, the unctuous and holy way in

 Suppose" Dorothy went on, "suppose-oh, if only dared hope it might be the truth! Suppose that Norton went in to see Jordan the day before his murder to sell him a mine-for $40,000 in cash"
 Good Lord!" Bob gasped.
 You notice," Dorothy pursued, that Norton made no mention of why he visited Jordan. And mo- body-not even Thomas Barrett knew for what purpose the money in the office was intended"
 And Norton might have played the same trick again - on John Hendry." Bob scarcely breathed the words.
 l "Yes. The irony is that Joan Barrett is the daughter of the very man who paid his penalty"
 Bob jumped to his feet. "Doro- thyI" he cried, q believe your hunch is right. If we can only pin the murder of MT. Hendry on Norton, we can solve the old case, too :"
 And save Joan from a lifetime of mental agony" Dorothy pointed out.
 "It's got to be true!" Bob de- clared. Its got to be! Norton was the only other person who knew of the money this time . and by Heaven! I wouldn't put murder past him. Say, can take these back and show them to Ken nedy?"
 T want you to-" Dorothy as sured him. T hesitated myself. I couldn't be sure how much they knew about San Francisco, and l didn't want to feed them informa- tion. But now that you see it the way I do - why, Bob, what's the matter?"
 His face had suddenly dropped, and he sank into chair despair ingly.

 Then the influence of the great Scopas and of Lysippus appeared. Scopas had collaborated with oth- CT sculptors in the massive decora- tion of the Mausoleum of Halicar- nassus.

CHAPTER XVIII

Miss Barrett, as we know, came here last night to see MT. Hendry shortly after midnight The doctor advises us that MT. Hendry was killed about that hour. Suppose Miss Barrett walked into the house and saw the murder being done? She wouldn't be very safe herself, would she?"
 My Godp Bob jumped to his feet. "Her life may be in danger! We've got to find her - before it's too late! Can't you do some thing?"
 Kennedy nodded. I've got 20 men out now" he said, "combing the city for her. And every radio car has her description ."
 It was a different Dorothy Starke who opened the door a short while later for Bob Andrews. Gone was the sparkling gaiety he had be- come accustomed to expect in her, and in it's place was pitiful des- cription. Dark rings encircled her eyes, and her face was white and haggard. Evidently she had had no sleep that night.
 "Bob" she exclaimed when she saw him, If there is anything at all to mental telepathy, it has worked for me now. I've wanted so badly to see you, and I was afraid to leave a message with with teh police"
 New hope sprang into Bob's eyes. Do you know where Joan is?" she asked quickly.
 She shook her head hopelessly No, I don't. But we'll find her Bob. We've got to. forced hel into this mess, and upon my soul I'll get her out of it." She led him into the living room and shut the door behind them.
 How did you force her into it?' Bob asked her.
 Its such a long story, Bob And we've so little time. Let me explain, as quickly as I can. You remember last night at Sybil's, she mentioned something about her brother making special survey in Chicago, then Seattle, and finally San Francisco?"
 "Yes. He phoned. just before we left"
 Do you know just what sort of survey Philip was making, Bob?"
 He shook his head. No, I don't. Sybil said he had new job"
 "Yes, he had job. A job for Sybil. I had letter this morning from my aunt-she's the principal of Eastman High School, where Joan and I attended. Philip has been making an investigation into the life of Joan Barrett. He was at the school to check on her, and my aunt wrote me because I had written her of meeting Joan here in New York :"
 Philip did that?"
 Just that. Sybil didn't want you to marry Joan, and she was bound she'd find some way to pre- vent it
 Bob stared at her III amazement. But why?" he asked. Why in the world would Sybil do that?"
 Dorothy froWned. Don't bother to ask" she said impatiently. You men are so darn stupid :"
 T thought Sybil and Joan were getting along fine together" Bob protested, feebly.
 You did, eh? Well, I met Joan for the first time in seven years, self. Or rather, she had Philip do

The Leavenworth football squad
will swing into action Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 E. D. T. at Recre-
alton field in tussle with Nauga-
tuck's Garnet and Gray.
Coach Jake Rieger put his charges
through their PAGES during the week
pointing out their misplays and cor
recting them. The Tech coaching
staff has been augmented by the
presence Of Ted Rourke, transferred
teacher from Wildly. Mr.. Rourke has
been handling the line and his in
structions have improved 1t vastly.
Coach Jarp O'Neill has concentrated
on the kicking ability of the Tech
backfield but he has not yet found
what he wants. Coach Rieger has
devoted his energies to the backfield
and has uncovered new speedster
in Michael LaSalata, junior.
The Naugy lineup is not yet
known but the Tech starters will
probably remain the same, namely:
Pine and Mcnamara, ends; Hum
han and D'Ambrosi, tackles; Lazeslsi
and izlaro, guards; Daddona, CEN
ter; Bill Steinmetz, quarterback;
DiBlasio and LaSalata at the half
back posts, and Charlie Rotella at
fullback.
Others likely to see action are
Longo, DiManno, Miner Evitts
Mitchell, Green, Lavallo and Ruby.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-30

within the 10-yard line, because
that is where the ball Is most likely
to be taken. The fourth back takes
position midway between the ends
on approximately the 25-yard stripe.
The tackles, guards and center are
spread across the field on the 45.
WATCH INTERFERENCE FORM
When the ball is taken ct the
kickoff, the spectator should take
his eyes off the receiver for a sec
ond or two. With the booting Of
the ball, the tackles, guards, and
center wheel back to pick up. the
man who caught 1t.
The ideal kickoff carries the ball
over the goal line, although not
many can kick that distance. This
gives the receiving team no chance
to run the ball back. The ball Is
simply put in play on the 2o-yard
line.
If the ball is kicked out Of bounds,
the opponents have the option OF
putting it in play anywhere on their
35-yard line, or at point is yards
in from where the ball crossed the
side line. This rule went into eff
feet this season.
A kickoff is a free ball, so q
short kick is sometimes used BY
teams badly in need Of possession
of the ball. The ball must travel
past the l0-yard restraining line.
IDEA is TO COLLAR CARRIER
On a regular kickoff, the kicker
tries to kick the ball to the back
least capable of returning 1t.
The main objective Of defending
players 1t to get down the field and
make the ball carrier commit him
self. They must avoid blocking Of
all kinds.
The offensive team may cross
block. 1t may form variation Of
the old-fashioned and dangerous
flying wedge. 1t may double pass
the receiver sprinting to one
side Of the field and slipping the
ball to another back who runs to
the opposite side. It may lateral,
or run regular touchdown plays to
the right, left, or down the middle.
Each man coming up and going
down the field has a particular as
signment.
So there Is vastly more to the
kickoff in football than 20 players
running up and down the field and
spilling one an erht lalovreo
Spilling one another all over thu
landscape.
