YESTERDAY: It looks as if Ardendale may get the services of young Dr. Warren McNeill, and several people are glad. David Wiley hopes the doctor can help with his bankrupt old inn and its mineral water swimming pool. Polly Jenkins, David's fiancee, hopes McNeill will interest Mars Powers, and Margo, who has de- cided to take David away from Polly, is glad to have still another in about town, Chapter 20 Swimming Party AVID and Polly went to say goodbye to Margo and her father. Warren with them. He stayed where he was, doing a lot of thinking. Polly Jenkins— sweet little thing. Now there, he told himself, was the sort of girl a doctor ought Si but strong.

I was thinking alsout doctors and their wives—about settling here | in, Ardendale—about a lot of things.” “Would you really settle here?” | said Margo—watching him. “Yes, Why not?” said Warren. “I like the people I’ve met, espe- cially ed friends David and Polly. They’ve got character, they are made of the same sort of stuff that made our ancestors what they were, Margo: yours, mine, David’s and Polly’s. The country can’t go to pot altogether, as long as there are people like David and Polly in it.” “TI see,” said Margo, not really seeing at all. When Warren got into a serious mood like this, he was almost like a stranger to her. “They do seem to have made a hit with you.” She took his arm. “Come on, there are some more people I want you to meet.” Warren smiled down into the lovely eyes. “Did I ever tell you that you're beautiful, Margo?” he said. “Once or twice.” “Mind if I repent?” “Certainly not. A girl pever tires of hearing things like that.” “All right—you’re _ beautiful,” said Warren. “And I could do with another cup of tea.” \ JEDNESDAY afternoon, a mag- nificent sunset, and four at“ tractive people diving and swim- ming in the pool out at Freddy’s Folly. Doctor Warren MeNeill, slen- der, splendidly built, and looking extraordinarily youthful in his brief swimming trunks; Margo, in a suit which was perhaps a little too revealing, a bit too sophisti- cated for Uncle Frederick James Wiley's unfulfilled dream; David in a pair of trunks that were faded and darned, but which did not make him appear any le: handsome; and Polly, last an Jeast in size though not in im- portance, wearing a brightly flow- ered bathing suit that had a tricky little skirt, which made her look iike a ballet dancer. Laughter — jokes — and every- body by now using first names! “['m getting hungry!” David called out from the pool. “So’'m I!” said Warren, “All right,” said Polly, “Ma and I will go dress. Then v unpack the baskets while you | two bays get into your, clothes. “Boys?” laughed Warren. “Pol- ly, you make me feel like some- thing just out of high school.” “Andeyou look like someth ing tose out ‘of ¢high school,” said argo, “What, hairs?” “Oh, Polly. “Boy Warren “[ve already started a fire in | the outdoor oven,” David said. “Tl get the coffee started as sc as ad arren and I have one more swi Plans with all these gray thry’re’ premature,” said Anyone can tell that.” my ego swelling!” said grounds to the Inn, And while they were dressing | sh in the Inn parlor, Warren and David swam the length of the a per of times.

That’s great. I don’t often find anyone who so rapidly agrees with me.” “The whole idea appeals to me no end,” Warren went on. “But money! That’s the drawback. It usually is, where a doctor is con- cerned.” “Well, don’t think the doctors have a corner on that particular problem,” David said. “They haven't.” Warren didn’t seem to hear. He went on talking. “T’ve got a few thousand dol- lars my grandfather left me,” he was saying. “He was a doctor, and wanted me to learn all the ‘new-fangled stunts’ he thought the doctor of today had to know. I spent quite a sum traveling around Europe, looking into dif- ferent branches of the medical profession—and now there’s not an awful lot left of my inheri- tance.” “And you'd better hold on to it,” David advised. “I don’t know about that,” said Warren. “Anyway, I’m planning to use it to buy out some aging doctor’s practice in a growing town—a place like Ardendale.” “But what dbout those offers | from hospitals you mentioned.” “They'll have to wait a little hile. 'm not keen about being hut up between a lot of cold, white walls.” "I reckon hospital work pretty confining,” said David. “It is,” Warren said. “I think I'd much rather work in a town | where I can get about more.” |_ “Then why not buy out our } Doctor Ben’s_ practice?” David asked. “He’s been talking about retiring for the past five years. You could settle down here, and maybe, if I keep on working at the lumber plant, the two of us could manage to raise the money we need to put Freddy’s Folly on the map.” “Darned if that’s not a good idea, David!” Warren said. “I’ll have a talk with this Doctor Ben.” “Fine! I'll take you to see him tomorrow. How about it?” “The sooner the better,” said Warren. “I’ve got some pretty good credentials, even if I do say so, as shouldn't.” “And about Peter,” said David. “I can’t thank you enough for giving him that thorough going- over.” “I’m only sorry I couldn't tell jyou something enouraging,” | Warren replied. “I can telt you this, however—the boy’s got gts, if you'll pardon the expresfion, His courage and hope will do nim a lot of good.” Magic Spring “THANKS, ” said David. “I think | he’s a_ pretty swell kid, my- self.

He says he got used to being alone when he lived with his dad, who, from all I can gather, had all sorts of strange jobs; never |keeping any one of them very long.” Warren tossed away his half- |smoked cigarette. “T think I shall prolong my (Stay ‘in Ardendale,” he said, “and look the place over thoroughly.” He got up, stood with his Jegs wide apart, looking up at the Inn. “What a setup for a sanatorium!

Lineups By FRANK FRAWLEY AP Feature Service Writer LOS ANGELES, April 30.— Clark Shaughnes: Stanford with the revived success at formation last season has forced revisions in attack and defense preparations in spring football training at other California col- leges. Stub Allison at the University of California developed a back- field lineup that roughly resem- bles a “C”. With Bernie Master- son from the pro ranks to assist Coach Babe Horrell at the Uni- versity of California at Los An- geles, the Uclans have rigged up what they facetiously call the “QT” formation. Red Strader at St. Mary’s has something new and old in the “Gael takeoff”. Even Howard Jones at South- ern California worked on changes, but Jones is not dis- carding, even for the nonce, the power plays that sent the Tro- jars into five Rose Bowl vic- tories in the last 16 years. Jones foctball calls for the blockers to knock down their men—it doesn’t even faintly resemble the Shaughnessy hocus-pocus that relies to some extent on a temporary body check. But Jones feels, as do all’ the other coaches on the West Coast that emphasis may have to be placed on the quick-opening at- tack that Shaughnessy employed with such astounding success in his first year here. Jones work- ed on a “Y” formation. It devi- ates from the fundamental Jones attack in that the quarterback is} not the sole ball carrier. The backfield lines up in a “Y” for- mation behind a balanced line. The quarterback is about five | feet behind the center; two backs are about 10 to 12 feet behind the tackles and the wingback is behind the left guerd, The quarterback receives the ball or it may go to the wingback. This formation per- mits quick opening plays, the man-in-motion, and sufficient deception to keeo the defense | guessing as to who has the ball. Basically. it seeks to adopt from the “T” formation the latter's strongest point—ball hiding. But there is some doubt that Jones will throw away his single wingback attack and be wooed to the new experiment. The Trojans probably will look much like they ‘always have looked. If the mate- rial is available the Trojans prob- ably will click, and if it isn’t, they won't. Chances are, too, that other West Coast teams will stick to what they've been using. The hybrids of the ‘ may crop up, however, when least ex- pected, and that should serve to keep the defenses constantly on the alert. One point to be remem- ! bered, however, nessy’s elaborate e which requires long, patient practice. That's what discourages dabbling in the Shaughnessy bag of tricks is that Shaugh- football takes SPORTS CAI CALENDAR BASEBALL (Major Leagues) TODAY American New York at St. Louis. Boston at Detroit.

The Error—He gets his hands on the ball but juggles it, dreps a fly or a good throw, or throws wildly—and for any of those reasons the baserunner is safe. It’s often up to the scorer to decide whether he erred or whether it just. wasn’t possible to field the ball perfectly. 4. The Double Play—Pete, at shortstop, has to be an expert at this. He may start a double ' play, scooping up a grounder and tossing to second to forceout the runner from first. The second baseman sends the ball on to first to catch the hitter. It can work out with the second base- man starting it, or in any other way so that two men are out on one play. In the first instance, Pete gets an assist, the second baseman a put out and an assist and the first baseman a putout. 5. The Triple Play—lIt’s the same as the double play—only much less often. + Suppose: we check Pete’s rec- | ord from the above performances. He had five “fielding chances”. In the putout, the assist, the dou- ble play and the triple’ play he made good use of them. In the error he didn’t.
