THE EVEN NG STAR, - WASHINGTON, D. ©C, DECEMBER 12, 1935. . THURSDAY, INSTALLMENT XXX. HE Colburn crowd was in an up- roar. Old alumni were run- ning up and down in front of the stands as fhouga crazed with happiness and enthusiasm. They had never seen such a team—a team of power, manipulated by a master mind. At least it looked that way the way things were going. Nancy clung | tenaciously to her father’s arm. Once or twice he almost lifted her off her feet in an excited gesture, forgetting she was on his arm. Colburn, under the able handling of Chuck, had carried the ball from mid- field to the Sanford 8-yard line. “We want a touchdown! . .. We want a touchdown!” rang out the imperative Crimson cheerers. Chuck, remember- ing Bertwell's oft-repeated advice, sent his players wide. He would keep away from the center of the line in his effort to score. He sent Salinger off left tackle for | & gain of three yards. Corbett hit off | the other tackle for no gain. Chuck | was momentarily at a loss. He didn't | want to try a pass just now. San-| ford had a great defense against goal- | line passes. And yet the wide plays | were not going like they should. The | Blue backs had come up and stopped | them by backing up the linemen. Suddenly he thought of Blake and what he had said to him in the locker room just before the game. What if it was contrary to Bertwell’s idea? It might win the game. Chuck felt that behind Blake he could go through a stone wall. He knew the mighty power of his pile-driving fists. He had felt them pound him into unconscious- | ness once. Now it would be Blake's | jong, strong legs that would do the | driving. Chuck was sure they'd doi gust as well. | “Signals!” he called firmly, at the game time pinching Blake on the back. #Thirty-four! . . . twenty-six! forty-nine! .. .” It was the fake dive | tackle play, with Chuck carrying the | ball behind Blake, after bluffing it to | Balinger. | Minton snapped the ball. Chuck | took it in his hands, faked a short toss | to Salinger, who went roaring through | tackle. Then, tucking the ball tightly n his own arms, he crouched low be- ind the broad back of Blake and plowed ahead. Blake bored his way through the Sanford forward wall like & wild bull. He was determined that nothing would stop him. Chuck and the ripped their way along and after a few yards they were buried under a pile of blue jerseys. As the players untangled them- pelves. Blake, lying on the ground, saw Chuck resting right on top of him, the ball still tightly clasped in | his arms. “I guess we made it, pard- ner,” he smiled up at Chuck, through | his dirt-covered face. “I'll say we did, Jed” came back Chuck. “There’s the old goal line.” And he pointed to the precious stripe they had just crossed. Old Man Marshall nearly went out of his head. He slapped people on the back indiscriminately. He picked up Nancy in his arms, and jumped pround with her in an ecstasy of en- thusiasm. It was one of the greatest days in his life. Again Colburn missed the try for goal after touchdown. 1If Colburn could only hold the lead now, it would come off the field vic- torious. The third period ended. The teams walked to the othex end | of the field. Sanford had received | the kick-off following the Colburn touchdown, and was in possession of | | standing at the end of the footpath He and tore after the ball carrier. met the Blue back at the angle of the sideline and his own 20-yard line. It was a ferocious tackle, and it brought the Sanford man down with a terrific thump. The crowd cheered the feat until its lungs were weary. Bertwell could secretly believe his eyes. Old man Marshall looked up, and likewise re- fused to believe that Sanford hadn’t scored. But the scoreboard convinced him that Chuck had got his man. Sanford started its drive for a touchdown. On the second play, a Blue halfback fumbled, and Minton dropped on the ball. Chuck called two line bucks, and an end run, and then booted on fourth down. The ball rolled deep into Sanford’s ter- ritory. For the remainder of the period the playing was in_.the Blue team’s side of the field. The game ended with Colburn in possession of 12 points, while Sanford had 6. Around the field marched the Col- burn alumni and students in the greatest snake dance ever seen on Bailey Oval. It was a march of tri- umph. As the crowd rolled along it sang Chuck’s praises. “Oh, Charlie Arnold . . . Oh, Charlie Arnold . . . He's the finest player Colburn ever knew . . . How he can throw 'em . . . and how ! he showed 'em . . . Oh, Charlie Arnold, we're all for you...” “Father, just listen to them sing- ing about Chuck. Isn't it perfectly wonderful? I never dreamed it was possible. Why only last week I read that the students were all down on | him for dropping & punt in the Coke game. And the papers ... why, they were unmerciful . . . Isn't it funny, they're all for him now? I'msoglad.” “That’s foot ball, my dear. The crowd is fickle. But the game is great whether you lose or win. There's nothing like it.” ‘When Chuck came out of the dress- ing room he felt sheepish. He had heard the songs ringing around the field and knew he was in the role | of hero once more. He thought of Nancy, and was glad he had helped Colburn win, especially since she was there to see the victory. But he was puzzled as to how he was going to see her since her father was along. Just as the door closed behind him some one grabbed him by the arm. “Congratulations, Arnold . . . the greatest game I ever saw a fellow play . . . it was bully. . . . By the way, I think some one's waiting for | “Where?” asked Chuck, his eyes aglow “Follow me.” Chuck trailed along behind Mr. Marshall, who led him to his limousine leading from the locker room. Nancy | sat in the back seat, beaming with the ball. Two first downs in suc- cession brought the Blue cohort to midfield. | Chuck was standing back, taking things easy, more than pleased with | the turn of affairs. Suddenly, the Crimson line seemed to part in the center. A big Sanford back came tearing through, running high and | defiantly. Three interferers rushed in front of him to give him protec- tion. The situation seemed hopeless to the crowd in the stand. Only Chuck stood between the three interferers, the ball carrier and the goal line. A touchdown would mean a possible defeat. Old man Marshall turned his eyes away, unable to watch the slaughter. Nancy, hearing the wails all around her in the stands, | started to cry. Bertwell's face turned | ashen. The doom of Colburn seemed | near at hand. Chuck’s heart almost stopped beat- ing as he saw the three big inter- ferers bearing down on him with vengeance in their hearts. It was one chance in a million that he could penetrate the solid wall of men and get the ball carrier. The eyes of the protecting trio were fixed on him. | They would bowl him over. They would drive him into the earth. A thought flashed through Chuck's brain. He started running toward the left side of the field. He moved his legs at a terrific clip, as though he were sprinting full speed. But in truth he was scarcely moving at 8ll. He was like a man running on a tread mill. Plugging hard and getting nowhere. The three interfer- ers thinking their teammate must have veered to the right, since Chuck was heading that way, swung sharply In that direction. The ball carrier in reality had turned toward the lef. Chuck at just the right moment, side-stepped his way through the trio, who were off balance just enough to be toppled over with a slight shove, GAS, GAS ALL | THE TIME, CAN'T EAT OR SLEEP “The gaz on my som- ach could sleep.

Chuck jumped in. “There isn't room for me back there,” Mr. Marshall remarked, wink- ing at Nancy. “I'll sit up here with Fred.” d (The end.) MR 0T e TAVERN HOLDS MEMORIES OF FAMOUS DRY POEM By the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla., December 12.—John Henry Titus, hale and hearty yssterday in spite of his 90 yzars, said he re- members clearly the tavern he immor- talized with his “Face on the Bar- Room Floor.” Travelers, judges, lawyers and men of national note have frequented the “Old Pine Tavern” at Jefferson, Ohio, where the poem was written. It was there, Titus recalled, that a portion of rum, whisky or gin was handed out with the room keys. The poem, Titus said, was written on pleces of bark and leather in the tannery where he formerly worked. That was 63 years ago, and Titus esti- mates that 1,000 variations have since appeared. Titus and his wife are here for the Winter. Tansill to Discuss Neutrality. Prof, Charles C. Tanslll, instructor in American history at American Uni- versity and author of a report pre- pared for the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee on origins of the World War, will talk on “American Neutrality, 1914-1917," at the Public Affairs Forum tonight at 8 o'clock in the Georgetown Library. % $1 A WEEK BUYS The two-tub washer and dryer is the safest, easiest and quickest way to wash and dry your clothes.
