Kenna, a great star last year,

Army's first five victories because

the Cadets coach, reported that
''Kenna is in shape to play" as
the husky halfback ran through
signal drill with the rest Of the
squad on soggy Franklin field.
On the Penn side, it was re.
ported that Bob Odell, captain for
the game, has recovered from a
slight cold which bothered him
through the week, and that Grover

Farm Machinery Output
Plan Announced Bv WA

A new farm machinery distri-
button program which provides for
actual rationing of considerably
fewer tens than in 1913 and sets
ur a much more flexible system
for distributing tn e greater
amounts of machinery to be avail
able in 1914 has been announced
by the War Food Administration,
according to information received
by R. W, Galphin, county agent,
from the State USDA War Board
in Raleigh.
The new program provides for
distribution control over only 46
types of farm machinery, of which
only 81 actually are on the list Of
rationed items. Tight production
and distribution factors made it
necessary to put distribution and
rationing controls in effect on 81
items Of machinery for the 1943
farm machinery manufa cturing
year.
Il Although some production diff
hculties are expected, the machin-
cry outlook for 1914 is much i'm
proved, USDA officials declared.
Production of new machinery un-

squad, notably Norm Standlee, for
mer Stanford U. and Chicago Bear
plunging fullback; ex-UCLA Rose
Bowl ends, George Breeding and
Burr Baldwin; and a three-year
standout tackle for Texas A & M,
Jim Montgomery.
A capacity crowd of 10000 is
expected to jam the stands at the

natural rivalry.

quickly the tiny spark Of news OF
his dropping in would fare into
fire OF conjecture.
He dropped to the grass and
filled his pipe. When 1t was glow
ing, he folded his hands and lay
with his head pillowed on them,
looking at the stars and, after q
while, thinking OF Claire.
Other men and their wives on an
evening like this
Where had he and Claire broken
the thread that should have
strengthened with the years, knit
ting them together in a bond Of
companionship? For the first time
in the 20 years Of their marriage
he questioned If the failure had
been completely his.
From the beginning, ever since
that night when the old mill owner
brought him to this same place
that was now his castle, and Claire
had looked at him appraisingly
with her big, blue eyes, it had
seemed a miracle that she could
love him, a big, awkward, inarticu-
late Irishman.
Claire HAD loved him, that he
knew, remembering the rapture Of
their first year together.
People said of love when 1t was
done that it had died" It was
gone now between him and Claire,
but 1t hadn't died. 1t had simply
faded away and was lost in the
pursuit of their separate interests.
There had been no disturbing
transition between that early rap
ture and what they felt for each
other now. He had been absorbed
in rebuilding the mill into a great
industry; she in her pleasure-seek-
ing. It interested him now to Won
der what she thought Of him after
all these polite years together, and
If she ever asked herself, as he was
now doing, if they might have
made something more real of their
marriage.
What did Claire want Of nfer
What did he want? Until lately,
he hadn't thought Of companion
ship. 1t had been enough to see
Claire during her visits, to have her
preside over his home, be a hostess
when rare occasion called for it. It
had been enough to be proud Of her
beauty and her social grace. A
hangover, he thought, from those
early days when he'd felt all hands
and feet in her presence.
1t had been many years since
they'd spent a whole season to-
gether like this last winter. For a
while during the winter he'd
thought-looking at her so quiet at
