He had practically sold her to

the buying; had let him believe
that an American girl would
willingly come to him as a bride,
satisfied with a marriage arrange

family.
Presently her eyes focused on
Sherlock, his face calm and Sc

turned and looked at Temu. He
met her glance, his face watchful.

She turned to Sherlock. "Oh,
Sherlock, you're a wise man and

The priest sat in silence, look
ing at her, breathing on her as
it were, his peace and serenity.

he said. Let me tell you about

Lynn sat back in her chair as
Sherlock continued: my family

breaking up Of the empire Of
Kubla Khan. My brother, the
Prince. had no male heir but it
was revealed to me that our Illus
trious ancestor had incarnated
and would be found as Z child in
a village Of herdsmen north Of
Koko Nor. / would know him
for he would come to me Of his
own free will and speak the
words of our sacred mantra."
Lynn listened impatiently as
he went on. 81 headed the caval-
cade that went in search Of the
little Prince. And among the
black tents in the graSSlands
north Of the lake we found a child
six years of age, whose parents
had been murdered by robbers.
Somehow the boy had escaped the
fate of his elders, and attaching
himself 10 a band Of herdSmen,
had managed to survive.
'SThe natives presented their
own terrified children who stood
dumb before me as is natural
with the wild children Of the
graSSlands. They cuffed the or
phan waif whenever he came
near.
But the child was alert and
spirited and driven by an inner
knowing. Character and power
already displayed themselves In
his features; he was a comely
child despite the dirt and rags in
which ! found him. Presently he
forced his way TO me, placed his
hands on my knees fearlessly.
and looking me straight in the
eyes, he repeated the sacred
mantra again and again with in
sistance and without prompting:
Aum mani padme hum"
Lynn listened rather BREATH

docks profound sincerity. She
could picture the child. terrified
and bewildered, his parents muir

I believe he had a very happy

Lynn glanced at Temu. Sons

SPORT PARADE

in this case even the faculty is
said to favor it.
But Michigan can't have the
game because the faculties Of five
other institutions don't want it. To
me this is an infringement of indi-
vidual rights and a case OF ad-
ministrative meddling in thing
which do not concern faculties.
Athletics are the problem of the
under graduate. He forms the teams
and he supports them.
Or am l wrong?
Maybe all these years 1 have
been missing all that is happen
ing about me but can truthfully
report I've never seen a college
president make a tackle, I've never
watched a professor of psychology
catch a touchdown pass and I've
never heard of a director of ath-
letics kicking a field goal. To the
best of my knowledge, the staff of
the English department doesn't
scrimmage three days week,
march with the band, or lead the
stands in cheering,
Until the faculty members take
up their share of these burdens, let
them give the boys who carry the
mail the right to say where they
want to carry it. Otherwise the
word "big" as used in Big Ten
will remain merely one more re-
dundant adjective.

company.
Awards will be on display We'd

the Ell Centre offices and at the
clubhouse Saturday and Sunday.
Golfing interest quickened We'd
nesday as Warren Currier, secretary
and sales-manager for the hard
ware company, announced the event,
which may become an annual af-

Awards will be decided upon
the basis of one 18 -hole round,

"Handicaps will be assigned by
Johnny Turnac, club professional,
and the handicap committee
There will be prizes for low let.

addition, an attractive award has
been set aside for the women golf

The tournament is open to all in

sSkill had ripened like the corn anc
that he would go forth to win the
heavyweight title from Joe Louis
the Republican orator. Johnny went
forth, all right, but he came in a
bad second.
His was at the same time the
weakest and the braveSt challenge
ever made for a championship title.
1t was the weakest because he was
knocked out without ever having
thrown a punch. 1t was the bravest
because no man ever was as terri
fled in ring as he was, and only
courage of the highest order kept
him from collapsing while waiting
for the first bell to ring.
Now Des Moines, undaunted by
Paychek'S humiliation, has fasten-

This city already has schedule

TALLY erase the painful memory of
Paychek by beating light-heavy-
weight champion. Billy Conn, in
New Yorks' Madison Square Gar
den Friday night, and then he is
to vindicate Des MoineS completely
by going on to a victory next sum-
mer over the aging politician, Louis.
Des Moines feels that Savold will
knock out Conn. Here he is regard
ed as the hardest hitter in the
world, Louis included, and the fact
that he has broken the jaws of sew
eral of his recent opponents is Spok-
en- OF with justifiable pride.
For myself, 1 am not so sure
about that. Billy the Kid will hit
Savold more than he ever was hit
before. That's a certainty. There
isn't a boxer who can match Conn
for speed and accuracy. And he can
punch, too. When he wants to, that
is. When Billy tires Of fancy-dan-
ming it and settles down on his feet
he can throw a right hand that'll
hurt anyone I saw him knock Bob
Pastor through the ropes with a
right hand smash, and Pastor takes
a fair sort of punch.
For Des Moines sake I hope Saw

is in there at the finish.

Four sponsors were named at

Smore than 100000 fans always 1ur-
nishes a bell-ringing finish to the
grid season.
Boston College has only to get
by Holy Cross Saturday to take
the eastern championship hands
down, and one look at their records
leaves no doubt as to the outcome.
Boston College, rolling up 1923 points
in crushing nine straight opponents
looks like a sure thing over cru
sader eleven beaten four times and
tied once.
Next to the Arrny-Navy game,
Bowl bids are of paramount inter-
est in the east, and many possibili-
ties are being discussed.
They say Boston College is sign
ed, sealed and delivered to the su-
gar Bowl at New Orleans on New
Years day on condition it beats
Holy Cross Saturday. This is as
good a guess as any, but just sup
pose the all-conquering Eagles were
invited to the Rose Bowl. Have neg
citations passed the stage at which
Boston College could turn down the
Sugar Bowl invitation and go to
Pasadena.
With word coming from the west
coast that the Texas Aggies are
not being discussed favorably in
connection with Rose Bowl bid,
Boston College and Tennessee are
about the only other eligibles.
Fordham, finishing the season
against N.Y.U., this week, still is
hopeful of Sugar Bowl invitation,
but it was learned reliably that
Ram officials will not consider Or
ange or Cotton Bowl bids. LaFay-
cites Leopards, who finished the
season unbeaten and united last
week, already have been asked to
play in the Orange Bowl.
When all the chips have been
counted, Penn undoubtedly will be
ranked No. 2 in the east. Beaten
only by Michigan, Penn clinched
Ivy league honors by nosing Cor
nell last week and. Francis X. Rea-
gan emerged as the top back of the
section. Fordham, upset by st.
Mary's and Georgetown, beaten only
by Boston College, are the candi-
date for third and fourth honors
in the east.
In addition to the Army-Navy
and Fordham-N.YU. games, the
final eastern program also includes
Columbia-Brown and Duquesne-
Carnegie Tech. Pitt goes to Dur
ham to wind up against Duke.
