from there on for another 10 miles
the motorist practically heads out

There's only one entrance to Key
West and that one Is over q narrow
bridge. Old Civil War cannon still
bristle from the fort which once
commanded the southern approach
to this key point in Uncle Sans
defenses. Now destroyers ride at
anchor near the breakwater, naval
planes constantly tear around over
head and the town is full Of sailors.
Once (and it was news to me, at
least) Key West was the richest
city per capita in the United States,
the largest city In Florida. It was,
at that time, the cigar-making cap

Then the cigar industry moved up

Basket Crown, Record
Scorer Seem Sure
For Dartmouth
Green Needs Lone Win;

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Its getting
30 easy for Dartmouth to win basket
ball games that the Indians seem to
be concentrating on giving Gus
Broberg q new league scoring record.
Dartmouth can't be beaten for the
Eastern intercollegiate title now as
a result Of last nights 60-35 triumph
over Yale at New Haven and prob
ably will clinch its third straight
championship next Saturday at
Princeton.
The Indians have won 9 of 10
league games and have only two
more to play. Second-place Cornell
and Princeton's third-place Tigers
already have taken three defeats
apiece. There's a chance one or
both may be eliminated before
Saturday, for Princeton plays Penn
sylvania, the last-place outfit, to-
night, and Cornell meets Harvard
tomorrow.
Broberg Is Near Record.
Just to emphasize Dartmouth S
supremacy, 1t was Yale that Knocked
Princeton out Of contention last
week by winning, 50-38, when the
Tigers invaded New Haven. But the
zone defense that stopped Princeton
cold was no problem at all, for the
New Hampshire Indians and Yale
finally shifted to q msn-tc-man style
In an effort to hold down the score.
After Yale's one first-half squirt,
which cut the Indians lead to 1872,
there wasn't much more to it than
feeding the ball to Broberg. He
played only 80 minutes, but sank
II field goals and fouls for Is
points. That gave him season
total Of 149 points, just 10 short
Of the league record he established
last year.
He had plenty Of support from
Charles Pearson and Jim Sullivan,
who scored 13 and 10 points, respec-
lively. Yale's only threat was little
Johnny Cobb, who made II.
De Paul Beats L. /. u.
Outside of the league, last nights
features were Villanova's defeat by
Baltimore, 47-42, and Long Islands
1886 loss to De Paul at Chicago.
Villanova's Wildcats had dropped
only one previous game this season
In 18 starts, and that was to In
diana, which cleaned up on its East
ern tour. Long Islands defeat gave
the Blackbirds q season record Of
10 won and 3 lost.

NICK KNOWS TOO MUCH
CHAPTER XVIII
It wasn't until that bitter mo-

full significance of Nick's remark.
Joe was no fool. She knew now
that he realized where she had
heard rumblings of strike threats.
She knew how disturbed, h o W
troubled and puzzled he must be.
But now that trouble had arisen
at the plant-just as Nick had fore
told-she was more insistent than
ever in her desire to learn what
force was behind it all.
She wondered if she could find
the courage to 60 out with Nick
since her eyes had been opened;
now that she had broken away
from the childish dream; now that
she knew her true love for Joe.
And yet she felt she had to find
the strength.
