Al MOSSFIELD had guilty conscience. But
IA that was not the only reason he avoided
looking at the authenticated girl who sat at
the transcribing desk. Whenever he remem-
bered how close he had actually come to pro-
posing to Beth Lttleton before he found out
who she really was. -.
He swallowed, and glanced at the row of
clocks across the end wall of the short-wave
listening post in downtown San Francisco.
Only twenty-four more hours, he reassred
himself, and Beth would be gone from the
post for good.
He sat down at the first of the three moni-
toring desks where radio news broadcasts of
Far Eastern countries were recorded for
transcription and inclusion in world news
coverage of Zeus Broadcasting Company's
western network. He slid sheet into the
typewriter and wrote across the top: sINGA-
PORE ENGLISH NEWS 3 AM psf DEC 81 -
MONITORED: MossFIELD. Then put on the
earphones.
He blinked, frowned into space, and sat
back with a look of pain. Jerking off the ear
phones he reached to crank the direct-line
phone on the wall. Sam! Is this Singapore
on Line One, or Spike Jones?"
''Uh, huh,'' the engineer commiserated,
from his antennaed hilltop on the Pacific
coast. "You could sand floors with it. Maybe

Al nodded. IF it's like this tomorrow

"Oh, thanks, AL" she smiled, and for a
second his guilty conscience almost overcame
his purpose; but then the engineer phoned,
with programs for both Line One and Line
Two, and they went to work in earnest. 1t
was almost three hours later, and Beth was
replacing her earrings and putting on her
coat, when the wall phone tangled as AL
passed it.
''HAPPY New Year!' the engineers voice
called.
AL looked. up at the clocks and grinned.
1t had begun out there at the Dateline:
Happy New Year, Sam!" Then he stared
into space. with vision of globe with thin
strip of New Year running down one side of
it, steadily widening and spreading out over
Fiji and New Zealand, westward across the
deep Pacific from the mythical International
Dateline that lies beyond Hawaii.
Give Beth a kiss for me!''
All turned. She was looking up at the clocks
with smiling eyes. Happy New Year. Beth
She hesitated, looking at him shyly, then
came to him and raised her face. Happy
New Year, AL"
He held his breath, and quickly pecked her
on the forehead. Beth stepped back, looking
as if she'd been slapped. Then, without
word, she got her purse and went out the door.
AL sighed, put on his hat and went out to
blink in the early morning glare.
He bought paper. had breakfast, and
went to bed to finish reading the paper under
the bed lamp. When he awakened again late
in the afternoon he saw by the clock that
midnight had moved westward over Aus
tralia and Manchuria, India, Russia, Africa,
and was into Europe. BY the time he had
another breakfast and finished dressing, the
New Year was into the Atlantic and nearing
New York.
AT HER modern apartment overlooking the
Bay, his mother, handsome in amber satin,
greeted him with perfumed hug, handed
him glass of champagne, and from then the
evening was Kaleidoscope swirl which should
have put Beth completely from his mind.
But when midnight reached Chicago he was
clinking glasses with blonde girl in yellow
tule and wondering if Beth would remember
to bring sandwich. Heaven knew she'd
never get chance to 60 out for one. When
midnight arrived at Denver he was dancing
with sloe-eyed girl in red velvet and musing
that Beth would just be getting to work now.
He'd give her until two o'clock.

Football Games

Three of the most important
high school football games and
some of the others on today's
schedule have been postponed be-
cause of bad weather.
Tech will play Washington-Lee
at 8 pm. tomorrow at the WI
Stadium. Wilson will meet George
Washington Monday night in
Alexandria and Eastern and
Chamberlain will open the inter-
high season Monday afternoon at
Eastern.
Still on tonight's program were

Gaithersburg: Montgomery Blair
at Westminster. Md: Woodward
at Culpeper. Va. and Falls Church
at James Monroe of Fredericks-
burg.
Other games on today's sched-
ule that have been postponed un-
til Monday are De Matha at
Georgetown Prep and GonZaga at
Anacostia. Roosevelt's game at
Fairfax and the Annapolis Green
belt game at the University of
Maryland on tonight's card will
be played at a future date. The
Devitt-Mount Vernon game rained
out last night will be played at 8
pm. tomorrow at Mount Vernon.
Washington-Lee will center its
offense around the strong right
arm of Sam Eberdt. Eberdt, who
stands 6-1 and weighs 200 pounds
probably is the best schoolboy
passer in this area. He also runs
well as does Johnny Herlein, an
other holdover from last season.
Tech will rely on it's veteran
backfield of Benny Colandreo,
John Wege, John Hobbs and
Snookie Herman for much Of its
offense. The four ran wild against
Bladensburg last week.
