be a new crop Of two-year-olds.
The days went by for Nell in mis-
cry and confusion. Rob had not for
given her. Indeed, since the auc-
ton, when he had sacrificed some of
his best stock for a few hundred
dollars, he had been, she said to
herself, fit to be tied.
She tried to think it out. Had she
done anything so terrible that she
must be punished like this? The
thing she had done-her criticism of
him-had shattered the illusion that
he was perfect in her eyes, and a
man Of his pride and self-confidence
simply could not take it. Most of
the time, when he looked at her, his
face had an expression Of sardonic
animosity. Occasionally it was
worse than that-it was like blow.
And all the love and tenderness was
gone.
One night, before going to bed, she
went into Ken's room for a mo-
ment. He lay on his back in the.
moon-fooded room, the sheet thrown
off, the pillow on the floor. He was
spread-eagled - arms and legs
thrown wide. His breath came even
ly. The top button of his pajama
jacket was fastened. From there
it was drawn away by the twist Of
his body exposing the thin, bare,
frail-looking torso Of a child. The
legs of his pajamas had slid up, one
foot hung limp over the edge of the
bed.
His face was blissful, his lips part
ed in an ecstatic smile! Dreaming
Of Thunderhead, thought Nell, as
she gently turned, Strengthened him,
replaced the pillow and drew up
the sheet. It did not wake him, he
had felt these hands since his birth.
He made murmurous sound, rolled
on his side, drew up his knees, gave
a deep sigh and was instantly quiet
again-breathing deeply and regu-
larly.
Nell went on down the hall to
Howard's room. There was a line
of light under his door. Howard
was standing half naked, examining
his physique in the small mirror
over his chiffonier.
''Howardl Why aren't you in
bed?"
Gee, Motheri / was just stand
ing here a minute" His voice
slipped down to bass and they both
laughed and it slipped again. ~
''How's your muscle?" asked Nell.

These are the first major changes
at East Potomac Park in several
years and will come as a surprise
to those who played the course dur
ing the past summer when many
complaints of their condition were
being made and justiflably. All the
changes were suggested by the late
William S. Flynn, course architect,
and were carried out by his assist
ant after Flynn's death.
Changes at Rock Greek Park, to
come, will include several green i'm
provements, notably at the third

be constructed in the vicinity of the
third green and fourth tee, making

Coaches Predict 1916
Football Will Reach
Peak in 0ffense
BY JACK HAND,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-College grid
coaches are predicting 1916 will
bring the most rugged and aggres-
sive football in history with offen-
Sive-minded war veterans carrying
the burden of the attack.
The bulk of the mentors quizzed
by the Associated Press III a season.
end poll based their forecast on what
they saw in the As campaign when
returning servicemen, as a general
rule, displayed the same enthusiasm
and spirit they had shown in prewar
days.
There were exceptions, but such
standout vets as Pete Pihos of Indi-
ana, Bob Evans of Pennsylvania,
Meryll Frost of Dartmouth and Jer-
ry Niles of Iowa more than evened
the score.
Belief that the ex-servicemen had
learned more thoroughly the lessons
of teamwork and adaptability and
the supreme value of offense was
the main reason for the rosy predic-
tions for next year.
Physical condition bothered many
of the vets during the past season,
the general rule being that it took
them longer to get back in shape
than they had expected. i
Frost Outstanding Example.
Frost probably was the outstand-
ing comeback example for he was
badly burned in a bomber crash and
spent 18 months in a hospital for
extensive skin grating.
Coach TuSs McLaughry of Dart
mouth, away from football for two
years while serving as a Marine
Corps major, said he found Frost an
inspiration.
IF returning servicemen put as
much spirit into their play as Frost
did this season, we'll have the
greatest football in history next
year." commented McLaughry.
The eagerness of the returning
vets probably is best exemplified by
the situation at Boston University
where "a ex-servicemen demanded
the school reinstate football, ar
ranged a four-game schedule, lost
them all, but had a good time do
ing it." according to Coach Walt
Holmer.
While freshmen have carried on
in Unexpectedly brilliant style in the
absence of the tested regulars, most
of the coaches welcomed home the
older harder-hitting vets and
thought the freshman rule would
be reinstated in a year or two.
Frosh Wanted Another Year.
There was no question about the
fact that first-year men kept foot
ball going during the war, produc-
ing such stars this year as George
Taliaferro of Indiana and Gene
Rossides and Lou Kusserow of Co.
lumbia to name few.
Coach Dana x. Bible of Texas
said he was ready to have fresh
man team as soon as possible. Coach
Lou Little of Columbia agreed the
freshman rule should be reinstated
as soon as the curriculum returns to
normal, and Coach Glen Rose of
Arkansas thought first-year men,
should be allowed to play for one
more year
