NANCY PROGRESSES
CHAPTER vi

Elmer Summers, sports editor
of the Journal, first told the
facts of the matter publicly, and
they didn't make Blythe any
happier when she read them. In
his column he wrote:
"Out at the Lincoln Field
gym, cadet gridders have New
Interest in life. Coach Pop Mil
Ter says that he has never seen a
q team center its emotional at
tention around a mascot such as
these boys have.
But the Interest there is
more than mascot, it is an in
spiration. More than that, it is a
dual inspiration, widow and
son. Best part of all is that the
son Is too tiny to run any sort
of interference between the foot
balls and the mama. Mama, you
see, is age only 81, and in ap-
pearance is a magazine cover
come to life"
Reading it now in Pops office,
Blythe. had to admit that all of
It was certainly true. Nancy
Hale and baby Scooter had ev-
erything of personal charm. She
read on down the column:
Mrs. Hale, it seems, is not
only a good sport but a good
sportswoman. Her late husband,
q masualty at Pearl Harbor, had
taught her the finer points Of
tennis, for instance. And since a
dramatic accident tossed her lit
orally into the Lincoln teams
lap, the players have almost for
saken footballs for racquets! Pop
Miller himself plays tennis,
which makes it even harder fer
him to bawl out his lads.
This is not to say that the
Lincolns won't be in tip-top
shape for their fray with the Ag-
gies on Saturday. Pop himself
says the team spirit was never
higher. But from the viewpoint
of US, the fans, the incipient ro-
nance in the field house is as in
teresting as the scrimmage on
the field.
Officially, it isn't any of our
business; but we in the grand
stands aren't officials! We can
speculate and gossip in genteel
way as much as we please! And
so, as the~Broadway coiumnists
might hint it-what charming
young widow from what upstairs
apartment over what gymnasi-
ur, is being seen more and more
with what All-America full
back?"
That could mean only one
thing, Blythe knew; Duane Ho-
gan had come from fullback
honors at A. and M, every judge
last year had given him ALL
America rating. But it stung
