Lois Latter, one of those spoiled
beauties who deceives nobody but
her husband, is warned by fortune
teller to beware Of poison. When
she suffers several stomach upsets
from doped coffee, her husband
seeks advice from the alert Miss
Silver. That able spirlster assures
him nothing serious is afoot, but
warns him to drink the same coffee
as his wife. He takes her advice,
but Lois is poisoned and the NOR
phine was in her coffee. BY the
time Miss Silver arrives, James Lat

are other suspects, all with good
reason to dispose Of Mrs. Latter.
Question to be solved: How did the
morphine get into one cup of coffee
and not the other, when no one
could know in advance which Lois
would drink? No one, that is, but
James-and, Miss Silver finds, one
other person. It's all very neatly

only once. But that once was a 49,
yard touchdown gallop against the
New York Giants that clinched the
league championship for Chicago.

In college, Luckman never

Today, Sid is convinced that

than the score to do a job in this

It has been said that Luchnan
has a soft touch with the Bears.
He does little blocking. He rarely
runs. Often he simply fakes, feeds
- and avoids the hard knocks.
But for a man with a soft job,

JUST put yourself in Luckman's
place when he's passing. You fade
back. and opposing linemen swoop
in at you. Then you're standing
there, your arm cooked, ready to
throw. Bearing down on you are
three hard-nosed characters with
single thought: Smear that
passer." Your blockers are gone.
You see a receiver in the clear
downfield. You know you must
keep poised and relaxed. You must
throw the ball just right and fol-
low through. And even after
you've gotten rid of the ball, those
three characters are determined to
get you. Spend an afternoon toss
ing 30 or 40 passes under condi-
tons like that, and you've had it.
Luckman, who has completed
649 passes in eight professional
seasons, faces this situation every
fall Sunday. Just what it means is
best described by Frank Leahy,
coach of Notre Dame, who says:
THE grimmest assignment in
football belongs to the passer who
is getting ready to throw and
knows he is going to be smothered
as soon as the ball leaves his hand.

Luckman's got the ball.
No he hasn't - yes he
has! It's a touchdown!
CD LUcKMAN is a schemer, a
- faker, a trickster and sharp
shooter. He's crafty as a con man,
adroit as a pickpocket. He puts
all of his talents to work once a
week during the fall.
On a dozen Sunday afternoons
a year, Luckman is the T-forma-
ton quarterback for those titans
of professional football, the Chi
cago Bears. THIS year makes his
ninth season. Four times he has led
the Bears to National Football
League championships and on five
occasions he has been named all
league quarterback.
Luckman Brooklyn-born,
Columbia-educated has his
playing-field Office behind the
more than 1,5OO pounds of finely
trained football beef that is the
Chicago line. This burly forward
wall, averaging some 220 pounds,
provides the protective screen be-
hind which the T quarterback car
ries on his peculiar brand of foot
ball sleight-of-hand.
437 Possibilities
LUcKMAN calls all the plays,
choosing from a staggering total
of 437 different maneuvers. He is
the boss of the huddle, and his
conversation generally consists of
the four numbers which give the
play. A typical command would
be: ''Ninety-three, fifty-four," and
after a pause Hike" This breaks
the huddle and brings the team up
to the line of scrimmage.
With the team lined up, the
quarterback takes his station di-
rectly behind the Bear center, six
foot, three-inch, 245-pound Bull
dog Turner. In back of Luckman
are the other three backs, crossing
the T of which he is the base. With
Turner over the ball, Sid gets in
position. He holds his hands like
girl catching a baseball wrists
together, hands and fingers spread,
right hand on top of left. The fin
gertips of his right hand are
moored to the seat of Bulldogs
pants. He begins counting in Sc
quence until the ball is snapped on
the prearranged number. On some
plays the center passes at four.
On others, involving a man-in-
motion, the quarterback may
count up to nine before the snap.
