By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Oct. 2o.-Buddy
Young's return to his oldtimt
form is largely responsible fol
the success of the New York
Yanks, who lead today in theil
division of the National Football
League.
Thanks to some nifty foot
work and pass-catching by the
5-foot-5 speedster. the Yanks wor
their fifth game in six starts last
night by whipping the Green Bay
Packers at Yankee Stadium, 35-
IT, before 1861 spectators.
Young, not at his best last
year after a spectacular 1948
season. sprinted 50 yards for one
New York touchdown and caught
passes good for 90 yards.
He was a headache for the
Packers all evening. ripping of
several good gains and running
back punts.
George Ratterman was another
hero of the Yanks' triumph. He
passed to two of the touchdowns
to run his seasons total to IA
for the year, a club record.
The win gave the Yanks half
game edge over the Chicago Bears
in the National Conference.
The lead in the American Con-
ference will be at stake Sunday
when the Cleveland Browns in
wade New York to play the Giants,
who scored a 60 upset over the
former All-America Conference
champions early In the season.
Ratterman completed 12 OF %
pass attempts for 244 yards.
The Yanks used only seven
plays to march So yards to a
touchdown in the first three min
utes. After Young ran 81 with
the kickoff. George Taliaferro and
zollie 10th moved through the
Packer line in short rushes. A
Ratterman pass for Is put the
ball on the 7 and 10th made it
in two tries.
Two minutes later the Yanks'
Barney Poole recovered Tobin
Rote's tumble for a 14-0 lead.
Fullback Ted Fritsch then
kicked tremendous field goal
straight through the uprights for
So yards, two short of the league
record. Paul Christman passed
16 yards to End Ted Cook for
Green Bays first touchdown.
But Ratterman then hit End
Art Weiner with a AZ yard touch
down pass.
Tobin Rote and Alton Baldwin
combined for an 86-yard pass play
after Young's dash in the third
to bring the Packers up to 28-17.

ows; black shadows in contrast with blazing
sunlight which touched the gallery of a tum-
bledown minaret rising above the squalor.
Blessing and peace. i. . o, Apostle of God"
A mueddin had just come out onto the
gallery, chanting the selam as his kind have
done on every Friday of the week for genera
tons. 1t was half an hour before noon.
Blessing and peace! Shaun Bantry smiled

modern, shabby, neglected little place, and
looked in. A very old beggar, blind in one
eye, was entering. Otherwise. inhabitants of
this quarter of Port Said remained undis-
turbed by the call of the Prophet
What had become of the man wearing that
unusual white coat with faint pink stripe?
Definitely, his car an antique French sedan,
had come this way. He pushed on, trying to
ignore the mingled smells from the cutters.
Perhaps the description of Theo Leider's
attire which he had received from the porter
at the Eastern Exchange Hotel that morning
had been wrong. In chasing the man in a
pink striped coat he might be chasing myth.
In that one glimpse of him in the Car Shaun

A turning just beyond the mosque showed
him an even narrower and, if possible, dirtier
street. A little way along he saw two or three
tables outside native cafe. And in front of
the tables, so as to fill up the rest of the
thoroughfare, gray sedan waited!
Shaun became aware that he was excited
He might not fall down on this fantastic
assignment after all! Luck was with him.
He had come to within ten PAGES of the

his hands.
When the Nubian boy materialized again
out of the shadows, Shaun paid and stood up.
As he turned away he bowed to his hawk
faced neighbor and, as if responding to a
parting word, Good day, hadj," he said.

hand to his forehead and went out.
He walked swiftly until he came to the
street of the tumble-down mosque, and only
then allowed his pace to slacken.
He was doing some hard thinking Now that

And Leidler himself? Had Shaun stumbled

Evidence to break up gang that had defied

within his grasp. 1t was definitely known

couldn't hope to pick up taxi in the native
quarter of Port Said. But this time he had
seen the mans face - and it was the face of
Theo Leidler, memorized from many photo
graphs and detailed descriptions. This obscure
cafe might give him the very link he was
looking for He went in.
The place was so dark that at first he could
see less than nothing. The air had been
poisoned with fumes of coffee, tobacco smoke,
garlic and hot oil. As Shaun's eyes became
used to the darkness, he saw that dilapidated
couches lined two walls small tables set be-
fore them. There were only five or six GUS
toners obviously shopkeepers He dropped
down near one of them who sat alone.
A NUBIAN boy materialized out of deeper
shadows. Shaun ordered coffee, in his fluent
Arabic, and as the boy went away, lighted
cigarette and took look around.
What business had Theo Leidler here?
He glanced at the man beside him, man
subty different from the Others, although he,
pIOUdDly lldu d SllOp SOiCWIlCiC. oloy-
bearded, wearing green turban cloth wrapped
around his fez, he had the features of bird
of prey. Beard clutched in his hands, elbows
propped on the low table, he sat staring
straight before him.
Shaun looked down at his own table. The
boy hadn't troubled to move tray on which
were brass coffee pot and a china cup in
brass holder Some sticky native coffee re-
manned in the cup, and on the tray he saw the
stub of an outsized cigarette with rose-petal
tip. The brand was new to him.
The boy brought Shaun similar tray and
removed the dirty one. Shaun filled the tiny
cup and turned to his neighbor.
Good morning, hadj." He gave the Arab
greeting, raising his cup. There was no reply,
no faintest stirring. The vulture face remained
immobile as a face carved in stone.
A surly old brute, apparently. Shaun, with
his cast of features, deep tan, and ability to

suited him to pass for true believer. What
had he done wrong? His greeting had been
correct, and he had kept his hat on.
Perhaps the hadj was deaf.
Shaun looked down at glass which stood
before the descendant of the Prophet. 1t was
half filled with a colorless liquid which he
suspected to be raki, a drink hard enough to
knock out a strong man in one round No
fanatical Moslem, this! The fact encouraged
him. Taking fresh cigarette, he pretended
to have trouble with his lighter, then turned
to his silent neighbor.
May ask you for light, o hadj?" He
still spoke in Arabic.
There was no reply, no movement.
SHAUN replaced the cigarette in his case and
glanced swiftly around. No one (or no one
visible) was paying any attention to him.
Bending forward and sideways, as if in earnest
conversation, he peered into the set face.
Lightly, he touched the fingers clutching the
gray beard, and then Shaun caught his breath.
