In answer to the question Of

the congressional program anent

Chapel Hill, Jan. 29.-Who will

Basketball is one OF the most TN

Carolina's G-ioot 5-inch center

Cline, the 6-foot 5-inch Jet, and
Pete Davis each took hand trying
to hold down Glamack that night
but the big fellow still collected II
points. However. Glamack has yet TO
face Clemson's all-American Bonnie
Banks McFadden this year, and that
may be another story.
One reason his partiSanS think no
body will stop Glamack except
George himself is that the big fell

sighted, depends mainly on hard,
difficult shots rather than the short
easy Grips, when he often misses.
( The fact that other Tar Heels turn

reflection. They know he is the sur

hardest man 70 cover. and knowing
this they naturally feed the man

she heard his voice. He did not
sound sober, even in the few words
1t took for him to ask if Cholly
was there. Romany told him coldly
that Cholly was not. And she
added:
And you'll be doing a great
favor if you don't call here again.
I'm sure Cholly agrees with me.
She doesn't want to see you now,
or ever"
The singer muttered something.
under his breath, thickly, and hung
up. For a long time afterward
Romany could not shake her I'M
pleasant feeling Of worry. She tried
to tell herself it was silly, and got
up from her reading to wash out
some of her lingerie because SHE
wanted to keep busy
Her chief fear was that Terry
would come out and cause an I'M
pleasant scene at the apartment.
Of course they wouldn't let him in.
But he was perfectly capable of
standing and ringing the bell till
he was taken away by a patrol
wagon, or Of yelling at the top of
his lungs. When Terry O'RoIrke
was in his cups, no one could pre-
dict what he was going to do Or
say.
Romany blamed herself later for
not telling Terry that Cholly was
on the beach, or at a movie. For
Terry assumed if she were not with
Romany, she was at work. A few
minutes later he staggered, dis
heveled and red-eyed, into the Leo
Dane Music Store.
Cholly was alone. She gave a
little choked cry when she vert
forward at the sound of the door
opening and saw the drunken Terry
weaving on his feet. He said
thickly:
Hello, sweetheart! Hello, hello,
hello! Thish is your lii ole Terry.
Hi, baby!"
Cholly never had seen Terry in
such a condition before. Her face
grew very white, and in her eyes
was the fear that she always felt
when she saw someone greatly in
toxicated. She knew it would be
foolish to let Terry know of her
fright, so she said as evenly as she
could:
Hello, Terry. I'm pretty
busy"
He looked around through bleared
eyes. Then he laughed thickly.
"Sure-oh, sure. Terrible busy.
Cus-cust'mers all over place"
Then he laughed. 1t was an an
cry laugh that sent cold chills all
over Cholly. He looked like a mon
ster in his wrinkled clothes. She
was sure he hadn't even been back
to his room to change his shirt

No more tickets are available for

brothers and sisters to think OF.
Her first inclination was TO be-
come angry because Leo held her
in the least to blame for Terry
O'Rourke and his actions. But on
second thought she knew she was
being unfair. 1t wasn't as though
she hadn't known Terry drank too
much. However, she had never eX-
pected to see him looking as though
he'd spent a week in the gutter.
It was the end, in so far as
Cholly was concerned. She felt GER
tain, down in her heart, she could
neither forgive nor trust Terry
again. The humiliation boosted her
pride, and when Cholly's pride was
aroused, there was little hope she
would ever weaken in her resolu-
ton. Even her great love, which she
was so certain would always be-
long to no one but Terry, would
never allow her to be seen with him
again.
Somehow, Cholly managed to get
through the afternoon. Moe, after
his opening thrust, said no more.
Fortunately the store became very
busy, and Cholly was at the piano
most of the time.
When Cholly arrived home, Rom
any knew something had happened.
But before she had time to tell
what had happened, Romany said:
you've seen Terry"
YES" Cholly nodded YEARLY.
"How did you know"
Romany told her about the phone
call.
THAT must have been what
Terry was raving about" Cholly
sat down, her chin quivering. "Oh,
Rooney, it was awful. Pm through!
I could never look at him again.
He-he was like a tramp"
Romany blamed herself for the
scene at the store. But Cholly re-
fused to listen to her apology for
not using her intelligence.
1T doesn't matter" Cholly said
duly. Its all for the best. It had
to happen to make me see what a
fool I've BEEN"
Romany had a deep fear that
later Cholly's reaction would be
that she must save Terry from
himself, and the gutter. But she
gave not the slightest hint of this
to her. Instead, she agreed with her
absolutely that there could be no
question as to breaking her engage
ment and never being seen with
Terry again.
When the phone rang, Romany
hoped that it would be someone
calling to invite her out. She would,
of course, take Cholly. But the call
was for Cholly. 1t was Dover Hay
worth. Without any hesitation
Cholly nodded her little red head
affirmatively when he asked her
to join yachting party that eve
ming.
When she hung up she was pale,
but determined. Romany was sur
prised and overjoyed at her good
sense. A moment later Brent called
and invited her to join the party.
Romany had just hung up from
Brents call when BaX phoned to I'M
vite her to dinner. She told him she!
was going yachting, but invited:
him to swim the next afternoon
They would read some more scripts,
BaX said, although he was fast los,
ing hope that Byrd-Cromwell would
ever re-cut Paradise Is Here"
That evening Dover called for
Cholly with his boat, pulling up at
the pier back of the apartments
Nelson had arrived in his car a.
few moments before and the three
were waiting on the beach when the
yacht came into view. From the
sounds of gayety. it was obvious
there was quite crowd aboard.
