when Henry Jr. informed him they were going
to be married. He acted as though Henry Jr.
was hare-brained kid, a university senior -
which he was; but ttere'd been three years
cut out of his college life, spent in training
camp, in England. then marching through
France and Belgium and Germany. He'd seen
life in the raw. He knew what it was all about
And he knew honesty in girls eyes.
/ HERE'D been a scene in the Pittsburgh
mansion, in which Henry Sr told Henry Jr.
just what he thought of him; Henry Jr. re-
ciprocated; they parted enemies to the death
There'd been another scene in Lilys apart
ment when he told her about it; very quiet
scene. Lily had said,: 'Oh, but he doesn't
mean it. He'll cool off,"
you don't know the old man. He means
it; he'd cut off his nose to spite his face. .
All right, forget him. III get job.
wouldn't take nickel from him.
What sort of a job?"
Anything - there're lots of them. You
should have heard me tell the old man off.
After we're married, I'll -"
With her fiawless technique. Lily slipped
outside the circle of his arm Don't be a
sap" Her eyes we're still honest, pitying, too.
So Henry Jr. learned about girls with hon.
est eyes, and learned to hate them. With
eight pieces of heavy luggage, he took plane
to New York BY luck, he got himself small
furnished apartment - nothing fancy; Just
hundred-a-month - and job at $45 a

Outwardly, MIR. Murphy beamed welcome.
Hello, Mr.. Adams; glad to see you back"
He was, too. Mr. Henry Winthrop Adams Sr.
and Henry Winthrop Adams Jr. were very
old, very rich, very wanted guests. Aside
from that, Henry Sr. owned tremendous
block of stock in Harden House.

Inwardly, his long empty stomach heaved in
eager anticipation Crab cocktail - that's
what he'd start with Never mind the soup
- too time consuming Then filet mignon, at

I'VE don't have your family's regular suite

Anything will do said Henry oonde-

clerk quickly There was nothing very good

Mr. Murphy got the key. ''1'll call boy
for your luggage, Mr.. Adams"
Don't have any," said Henry. ''Unex-
pected, this. BY the way, Ill need some
money Three hundred will do for the pres

father say it. His father the steel king, was
far too important a man to bother to stop
and write a check. When he needed money
he shouted to the nearest person to get him

Tens and twenties - and a few singles"
Eyes, sir" Mr. Murphy went to the CASH
ier's desk and got the money.
With $500 in crisp new money tucked in
the same pocket with the twenty-five cents,
Henry Winthrop Adams, Jr., strobe after his
guide, the bellboy in maroon monkey suit,
rejecting on life's incongruities
An hour before, he'd have sold the suit off
his back for dollar "a dollar would buy
three or four sandwiches, three or four cups
of coffee in the Automat - except that he
couldn't 60 around New York without at
least pair of trousers. An hour ago he'd have
been satisfied with six-dollar-a-week room
in a boarding house. He couldn't achieve
either, because he had precisely twenty-five
cents, because he couldn't get dollar, much
less six dollars. But he could have $l2-a-day
room in the Harden House, he could demand
$500 in cash and eat all the filet mignon he
wanted.
All because the management of Harden
House didn't know that Henry Winthrop
Adams, Jr.. seven weeks before, had been
kicked out of the parental home, disowned,
disinherited. Because it didn't know that

Then he stalked out and got another Job,

off, was down to his Last five dollars. But he
still had his pride.
Then, somehow, jobs were elusive
AFTER long and careful thought, also after a
bath, shave, nap, the pressing of his suit
and enjoying the feel of new, very good
shirt, Henry Jr. looked up Miss Ruth Dunbar
in the phone book and called her. It was wild
and foolish, but he wanted to prove to her
there was no reason for the pity in her ewes.

Miss DUNBAR asked six or seven questions
designed to bring out whether Henry was
completely insane or whether there was some
hope. In the end, rather dazed by Henrys
apparent conference under incoherent circum-
stances, she agreed.
Henry met her in the lobby She was pref

dress that just matched her eyes. The honest
eyes had awe in them now. In the next hour
and half Henry put great deal more awe
in them. He took her to dinner on the Medi-

He stood craven while Miss Dunbar chose

When he'd gone, Miss Dunbar said, But

Henry said, lightly, Its high time got

and impressive about it. They danced to won-
derful music, ate wonderful food. And Henry
listened with careful interest to what she had
to say about her life, her job, her hopes. He
didn't lie, really, but long after dinner was
over, he'd firmly planted the impression that
he was dabbling in business purely from a
dilettante's viewpoint
And he was baslsing in her awe. walking

Little Brown Jug rivalry between
the two schools has produced
startling upsets in the past, making
paperwork futile as basis for pre-

A Minnesota triumph, following
Northwestern's stunning loss to the
Wolverines, would set up the

The fight for sectional honors in

In the National League, the Chi

The San Francisco 49ers, riding

The 49ers, spanked by Frankie

The defending champs, the Cleve-

Michigan and Notre Dame, sailing
along on the longest winning streaks
in college football. we're back in
their familiar roles today as the
leading candidates for National
honorS.
The list of unbeaten, united teams
numbers II, still an imposing array,
but the schedules seem to favor
these two mighties from the mid
lands who finished last season 1-2
in the Associated Press poll.
The East, cradle of the sport it no
longer can dominate, has four of the
unblemished representatives in
Army, Cornell, Pennsylvania and
Penn State but they scuff1e among
themselves in round-robin that is
likely to leave all of them SCARED.
In better shape are the other un-
beatens-Georgia Tech, North Caro-
lima and Clemson from the heart of
Dixie, and California and Nevada
from the Far West.
The three Southern teams for
tunately don't run into each other
and wind up their schedules against
sectional foes. California plays a
strict Pacific Coast card the rest of
the way. Nevada, the little team
that leads the Nation in offense,
doesn't meet opposition of the size
to warrant much National consider
alton.
Two of the unbeatens collide this
Saturday when Army meets Cor
nell at Ithaca. They have won four
games each, yet remain something
of an unknown quantity.
Wolverines Prove Selves.
Michigan's Wolverines graduated
from the question-mark class Satur-
day with a resounding $50 conquest
of Northwestern. They proved they
still could get along without ALL
America Bob Chappuis and Bump
Elliott. They just gave the ball to
lad named Leo Koceski and he
scored three touchdowns.
It was Michigan's 18th In a row.
Notre Dame also turned in pro-
fessionally poised performance in
subduing Nebraska. 44-13. Nobody
seemed to miss Johnny Lujack as
the Irish went through their 22d
game without defeat. =.

week-fel short of expectations
when 1t ran up against an aroused

The Tar Heels put on a last-half
push to get a 14-0 victory.
California's Bears were impressive
in scoring their fifth straight tri-
umph-a 40 rout Of Oregon State
but it'll take tougher meat to
show just how good the Bears really
are.
Army, led by Gil Stephenson,

victory over Columbia. Penn State
