he Is - dead serious about every thing"
 Including the way he blocks for you," Carol said under her breath.
 "Hi Carol! Hi Keith! Where bound?" He stumbled into the back and stretched his legs. He didn't have Rhodes height nor the hand- some features. Yet he was good looking enough. His shoulders were broad and hinted of power the kind of power that could blast an opposing end or tackle right into the stands.
 Dan Webber could hardly re- member the last time he had car- ried the ball for Tech. His was the blocking post and when Keith Rhodes started of on one of his celebrated off-tackle slants or wide end sweeps it was Dan Webber who usually led the way.
 The wind whipped tousled hair into his serious brown eyes. "Well, where we bound for?" he repeated.
 Before Carol had finished ex- plaining they were at the station. Glasses wouldn't start for two days yet and students were still pouring into town by the hundreds. They strolled into the waiting room just as the 2:15 was pulling in.
 Carol gripped their arms simul- taneously a minute later as pas- sengers came up the ramp. "Over there," she nodded, land do you see what see?"
 They followed her gaze. Keith let go with whistle. Don't look now, but it's an optical illusion" "Jeepers," said Dan softly, "call out the guard.
 Walking slowly toward them, looking to either side as though she were searching for someone, was the most beautiful girl any of them had ever seen on the Tech campus. Slender, dark, her ease and grace of movement was a direct contrast with the excited, milling groups criss-crossing through the crowded station.
 They walked up to her. Carol said: T believe you're looking for me-or rather I'm looking for you. I'm Carol Reid, president of Alpha Nu = and of course you're Joan Johnson"
 Joan Johnson smiled and ex- tended her hand. Right, and thanks for meeting me :" And then as her eyes swept deliberately over Keith and Dan: "Quite a re- ception committee"
 "Just couple of porch lizards who infest the terrace back at the house." Carol offered banteringly. One of them, especially. Joan, this is Keith Rhodes, and :"
 Before she could get any fur ther with the introductions, Keith had taken loans hand.
 "I've heard of you, haven't IF" she murmured, 'The great Keith Rhodes you play football or something, don't you?"
 He grinned, holding her hand a couple of seconds longer than usual. That's right" he admitted breezily.
 When Keith had released Joan,s hand. Carol continued. And this is Dan Webber another varsity man."
 I'm doubly honored," She look ed into Dams rugged face, saw none of the eager challenge that had been so visible in Keith. And what position do you play?" she inquired, almost too politely.
 "Right half" He was very brief. Keith plays left"
 "Your bags" Carol cut in. Lets get 'em and dump lem right in Keith's car"
 Sure" Keith said. Let me have the claim checks"
 Thanks" Joan replied, but I've already arranged to have them sent out to the house. I don't think 1t would be very convenient to pile them in a car, anyway"
 Keith opened the front door for her, and got in behind the wheel. Dan and Carol climbed into the rear.
