The first quarter started out
fast with the Lions getting a
nice lead and leading by a nice
score at the end of the stanza.
Immediately after the second
quarter started the Union Jack g

defense frightened and they soon
narrowed the early Browning

The Lions only made 3 points in
this quarter.
As the second half opened the
Ray mond five tied the score up
but the Lions soon shot in lead the

quarter the game see-sawed back
and forth with Browning lead
ing first by one point and then
two points. With only 3 minutes

q AUDREY REYNOLDS was sitting on the
~ front steps of the Reynolds veranda
L u with one of her many intimate friends.
From these steps Audrey and Clara Dodd
would command anything of interest that
might be going on in Vista Road. Their eyes
held the same look, drowsy but expectant,
that one sees in the eyes of those who sip their
cognac on the sidewalks of the B0ulerard des
Ital,ens The two young women had no cognac,
of course They had, instead. a fairly large bag
of chocolate-nut caramels, now half empty.
Here said Audrey, comes Gene.
Mechanically she whisked out small COM
pact and peered at her nose. She slipped the
compact back in her pocket as very old car
was drawn to the curb with a flourish. The
good-looking youth at the wheel saluted the
lady of his heart: Hi. you.
"Oh -" said Audrey, her voice falling
suddenly 'Oh, hello
Hes with him" ," muttered Clara.
Gene Walton and his companion had scram-
bled out of the car. Gene was coming up the
sidewalk in his usual nonchalant manner, but
his friend, an extremely tall, awkward, red
haired boy, was finding it impossible to walk
in simple fashion from the curb to the
veranda steps, Bunching his fists and dancing
about in a most ungainly way, he was feinting
at his companions ribs and then, suddenly,
whirling about to take a swing at the gigantic
but invisible adversary on his other side. He
emerged from this contest red-faced and
breathless.
Hi. Audrey" he said.
But words failed him when he turned to

He looked at her so beseechingly that her
heart melted Well" she said Il guess
there's nothing to fight about
Hesmiled at her: Then everything okay:'
Audrey nodded Sure. Sure it is.
On this pacific note they parted -.
Their problem, however, was not to be
solved so easily. Scoop Armstrong, new
conner to Medville had been accepted at once
by his masculine contemporaries. But he was,
it seemed, a mans man - being IN feminine
eyes total loss. Even Clara, who had never
had an admirer before. was polntedly Ignoring
his loud and boisterous efforts to gain her
interest and respect.
Audrey, however, was in slightly more
difficult position. She not only had to see
more of good old Scoop than she would have
wished - she likewise had to hear more about
him than she felt was reasonable. Gene never
wearied of singing his new friends praises.
Audrey heard, in considerable detail. how
good old Scoop had worked all one summer in
a lumber camp and how good old Scoop
had taken car right out of junk heap and
patched it together and sold it for fifteen dol
lars - and how good old Scoop, having been
known in his native Texas, as South Paw
Armstrong, had actually been invited to join
a professional baseball team in the Lone Star
State Gene could not seem to grasp that
Audrey was bored by these manly tales of
adventure.
