CHAPTER FOUR

As long as she lived, Kit could
never explain why the scene that
happened almost Immediately aft
er that had tied her to the spot
when her inclination was to run
away from it.
Her act was done and applauded
and SO there was no reason other
than her natural sympathy for her
to be concerned when some phrase
from the drunken voice, which she
did not hear, started a noisy row.
Shut i'm up!"
Throw him out!"
"Sure! Give i'm the woiks!"
Outlaws and encouragement fol-
lowed the shouted suggestions.
Through the smoke, Kit felt her
eyes 60 to the far corner of the
room to where the noise c a m e
from.
A figure was rising from a ta-
BILE. 1t was the drunk. He was tall,
broad shouldered and very fuzzy
eyed, but he got himself up on his
feet and swept the room with a
terrible gaze. At least as terrible
as he could make it.
who's going to throw me out?"
he inquired. His voice was thick
but heavy with dignity and not at
all belligerent. He tried to pull the
loose knot of his tie into place.
There were inarticulate cries,
c~at-calls and jeering offers from
the crowded tables.
1t was a challenge that he tried
to meet with inadequate forces. He
struggled valiantly with his mem
DRY and lost. He couldn't remem-
Der what had been said, or what
he was going to say. But he was
on his feet and an audience was
looking at him. Obviously he must
say something. He said, I'm 80"
1t had slipped away again. He be-
gan again, "Vance Healey :"
Kit heard him, heard the trick
voice and her searching, suddenly
anxious eyes pierced the curtain
of smoke, settling on his f a c e,
topped with a bush Of tousled hair.
They grew round with scutiny,
then with disbelief. But still she
looked until at last, satisfied that
her first fear was ungrounded, she
looked away. He was NOT Vance
Healey. This imposter was not the
alert, neat figure she had seen a
week before. Something was Sc
cure in her again. She returned
her attention to her supper.
Then it happened.
Far away as she was, Kit heard
the crack, the blow that struck
him down.
He was on his feet, swaying dir
lilly when she turned. In a split
second, he was imprisoned in the
grip Of two husky walters.
Suddenly Kit knew what S h e
was going to do, knew it without
consciously intending it.
She was on her feet, pushing her
way through a maze of tables. sue

already filed with the bulk of the
walters and their family protest

Gingerly she crept out from under

Her guest-his tie and collar
open, his hair disheveled and his
coat drawn close-lay in deep
sleep, looking much as he had
when she left him, save that an
angry blue did not add to the beau
ty of his unshaven chin.
Kit set the coffee pot and a SIN

side the bed. The clatter aWoke
him, but the effort to open h S
eyes was painful. He opened them,
resting briefly on the border OF
coma. Then his senses m%arshalled
themselves; the coffee scent made
him conscious of great thirst; he
could see a girl wavering, retreat

fore his eyes; pain smote him.
''Where am II" His question was
punctuated with a groan.
THE Ritz" Kit answered pleas,
antly as she poured black, steam
ing coffee into the cup and put it
in his hands.
His eyes tried to thank her as
he drank it in painful gulps. When
it was finished, his head dropped
back on the pillow and he closed
his eyes, but sleep had gone from
him and he vas uncomfortably
conscious of the feeling that some
thing was expected of him.
How about a little more of that
eye-opener?" he cried.
Kit filled the cup again, and
when it was emptied, she gave
him a cigaret. He took a long drag,

distaste and tried again. The Sec

that bulled and snaked his way on
43 yard run through the entire
Crosby team before he was stopped
on the Crosby yard line. The
two succeeding downs brought the
ball to the two yard line where La
zesky dove through for a touch
down. A placement kick for the
extra point was wide and Leaven-
worth led Crosby 8 to 6.
Crosby Gets Close.
What happened after that was
just an anti-climax. Crosby carried
the ball down to the Leavenworth
four yard line with only a few plays
remaining in the game. 1t was here
that Leavenworth stopped their
game from going the way others
had in past years. with Crosby
snatching victory in the last mo-
ments. But the eleven men in gold
and black on their goal line had
had enough of bitter last-minute
defeats. They held. The clock
stopped the play on the third down
and pandemonium reigned. Every
body made a rush for Lazesky; they
picked him up and raised him to
their shoulders and staged their
sweetest victory parade in memory
Leavenworth defeated Crosby, 8-6.

SCORE lHI
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Service Sports Editor

Little Franklin and Marshall,
which crashed the headlines by
edging Dartmouth, wasn't loaded
for football upsurga.
No players were brought in from
Pittsburg.
You have the word of DR.. Charles
w. Mayser, athletic director, that
there is not one athletic scholarship
granted by Franklin and Marshall.
1t is Reformed Church college.
Practically all the student aid
available goes to divinity students.
When Dartmouth fell, 1921, in
what to the east was an aStound-
ing upset, report that number
of Pittsburgh freshmen had trans
ferred to Lancaster was Immediately
circulated.
There is not one word of truth
in that" says Alan F. Holman, the
coach. 1--WE couldn't afford it even
inf the school would approve"
Talk in central Pennsylvania CEN
tered about what effect the smash
1ntl victory over Dartmouth would
have on Franklin and Marshall's
heroes in the following game with
highly regarded Richmond. The
Diplomats, as they are known, get
two more whacks at major outfits
New oYrk University, Nov. 8, and
Carnegie Tech, Nov. 16, but would
much prefer to smack Muhlenberg
and Gettysburg. That would make
them champions of the Eastern Col
legiate Athletic Conference, to
which they belong. They also have
engagements with Albright and
Ursinus.
All of the Franklin and Marshall
athletes, picked from the no more
than 600 boys who comprise the
student body, are neither exception
ally larfie nor fast, but there are
two complete squads, with adequate
requirements everywhere except
possibly at the tackles, and the
tackles are considered capable of
playing the greater part of, go min
utes every weekend.
Proof that there are no ex-Pitts
about is that eight seniors and two
Juniors start, and that there are
only two SophomoreS on the second
team. The club was not put together
suddenly. The seniors have been
coming along for two years.
Alex Schibanoff, 2O1-pound
tackle of Freehold, N. j., is perhaps
the only player who could be called
outstanding. Holman .does not be-
lieve there is a better tackle any,
where.
There's nothing mysterious about
Alan Holman having a good team.
1t happens to even small schools
Like Franklin and Marshall.
