CHAPTER TWENTY

ChAPlE Elk TWENTY
WHEN PAUL asked her to set
wedding date right after the holi-
days, and accused her OF evading
this big issue, Karen could think
Of no good reason for further eva
sion. It had been two months now
since the formal announcement Of
their engagement. They had in
tended to set date some time in
the early winter" as her father
had phrased it when he had given
out the announcement. The time,
however. had skipped by even more
rapidly than Karen had anticipat-
ed. There had been so many things
TO make it ny by. Getting the nur-
sery quarters ready, Buffys ar
rival, and all the subsequent time
she had spent with the little boy
to help him get used to his new
surroundings, the round Of parties
added to the other usual social ac-
tivities now that 1.-The season" was
getting into its full swing.
She was just getting used to the
idea Of being engaged. She would
have liked little more time be-
fore having to jump into the next
phase Of getting married. But she
would not want Paul to suspect
that she felt that way. She knew
how eager he was to have things
between them even more definitely
settled. There really was no point
in a long engagement between two
people who had known each other
as long as they had, so there
seemed no point in not setting that
wedding date.
After all. Karen told herself, fol-
lowing along in this line OF per-
suasion, it was not as il being mar
ried to Paul would change things
too much. They would simply get
married and Paul would move over
TO live in the big house, as had been
decided among the three OF them,
including her father, and they
would go on as they were.
Maybe this was a funny way for
a girl to feel about being married.
But since Il would be the FIRST time
in her experience Karen could not
know that. or II she suspected 1t
she had nothing with Which to re-
place such feeling unless again 1t
could be the things one read and
heard about marriage. A girl was
supposed. according TO the movie
and song writer's version, to be all
fiuttery and wide-eyed and. beneath
n natural modesty, all eagerness,
too. For marriage was the I'm
known Land. the Big Adventure,
the sum and total OF 1t all-and all
that stuff.
Not that Karen thought II all
STUFF; she didn't really, except
when applied 10 herself and Paul.
How could one get all worked up
over something when II would not,
as one had decided. change things
much. when one did not want il 10 ?
Maybe II you were going to elope
with some man who was almost a
stranger, as Denise had with her
riding master, Raoul, you might be
hot and bothered, and icy and
thrilled. As kiss from someone
you did not know very well could

. Y.H.S. Fights
Hard, Wins

Ypsilsnti High School football
team played hard TO win I to 0
victory over Wayne High Friday
night at Island Park. With both
teams displaying a superior de-
fensive. the score was a nothing to
nothing tie for three quarters. Up
silanti lacked one yard OF a first
down in the second quarter, but
Loewe. Wayne fullback, succeeded
in actually making a first down for
his team but slipped on the 8
yard line after having done some
beautiful lodging from the 25th.
The second quarter almost looked
like Wayne's victory when they
succeeded in opening a concerted
drive to Ypsilanti's Ia yard line
after they had blocked and recover
ed a kick on the latters 81 yard
line, but lpsilanti's demonstration
Of smooth team work ended the
first half without either team scor.

Ann Arbor. Mich, oct. 2 ms
MichisaIs Wolverines and Notre
Danes fightin' Irish play football
at Ann Arbor today. That was GER.
tain. But nothing else was.
BY the highly strategical process
of saying nothing. or inferring less,
the great commanders OF two great
teams have outdone Mark Clark in
plotting each others downfall.
The Wolves coach. Fritz Crisler,
has kept his final lineup a deep,
dark secret. and Frank Leahy. the
Irish mentor, simply let everybody
generate his own set OF shattered
nerves by thinking OF Angelo Der.
tell. the aerial anarchist.
Both held secret drills. with ev-
erything but mortars surrounding
the practice fields.
Even mystery. and gossip. were
thrown around the injured grid
warriors. Elroy Hirsch, for example
was in and out of the Michigan
lineup so often he had perfect
right 10 being confused himself
One source said he'd play; another
said he wouldn't. Or maybe he
will play Just little. said another
one.
Another report had Bill Daley
shifted to tailback and Bob Weise
to full.
From the Notre Dame side came
equally confusing reports Leahy
shattered tradition by working his
squad behind closed gates, with
even the knotholes plugged. This
occurred at Jackson. Mich, where
the 35-man squad halted en- route
to Ann Arbor.
Then he announced he would use
the same squad which crushed
Georgia Tech So to l3 last Satur
day. That alone could dull the
cleats.
However. through the maze Of
confusing stories came a few estab.
lished facts and figures. The game
was cinch1o rank as the triple Y
gridiron show of '43 and Michigan
