5—+ J a WEDNESDAY, OCT! Chapter 1 Susan Sees A Challenge USAN DRAKE pressed against the window and waved a final farewell to her mother as the ‘ train eased away from the platform. This was it, she reflected. | The beginning of the end. This was the trip she had looked forward to with mild regret—the kind of regret any girl might have when she was returning to college for her senior year, The kind of re- gret that stems from the sudden realization that four years of col- lege can slip by on some of time’s | best-oiled hinges. Yet there was a difference. Quite. She remembered that first trip as a freshman. Half-scared. Partly doubting. Fortified on the first lap of the adventure by the presence of her mother and father who had made the journey with her to give her that last measure of parental efcouragement and advice. There was a difference, all right. Even in, the manner of famiiy|_ farewell ceremonies, Today it was nothing more than a perfunctory motherly kiss and wave at the station; Detective Lieutenant Leo | ® Drake wasted biisy éVen to see her off. Susan took up one of the news- papers at her side and glanced through it. She was skimming over the sports section when the word “State” caught her eye in a headline and she slowed down for a look— mostly because of the two-column picture under the headline, It was a picture of a dark, curly-haired youth with serious-looking eyes. One fore- lock of hair was matted to his forehead and the sharp exposure had caught the beads of perspira- tion on his face. She read the story. “Todd Ma- lone . . . 185 pounds of triple- threat gridiron mechanism . . . hardest-working man on the State squad... headed for his biggest year... potential All-America She studied the picture for a long moment. That was the quiet, studious young man she had sat next to in English 502, the man to whom she had screamed anon- ymous encouragement, along with 60,000 others, in the huge grey stadium, Todd Malone wasn’t what a girl might call terribly handsome, but there was hardly a coed on the campus who didn’t feel an urge to turn around and take a second look as he passed. Susan knew from experience. She had taken that second look, once, just as he had turned around, and he had caught her at it. It was the first day of the spring semester. A few minutes later they found themselves, just by chance, sitting next to each other in that English class, Susan Drake wasn’t any more conceited than the average girl with healthy instincts of self- appreciation. But facts were facts. She was several degrees beyond a mere pretty, with a catching combination of blond hair and in a figure that went with the| | face. | Cool Mr. Malone | ET for more than three months | he had given no indication that their association would be anything more than a 10 o’clock Monday - Wednesday -Friday pro- -position. That is, until she had gone to the Pi Gam spring formal | with Pete Rockaway and sorne- | how she had had one dance with him, He had been stag that night. Todd Malone nearly always was stag. Some of his Pi Gam fraternity brothers who were supposed to know swore he'd had three dates in his first three years at school. In a sense, Susan Drake resented Todd Malone. He was good look- ing and popular and’ he was a cyclone on the football field. A guy like that, she figured, should public property, or at least fair prey as far as women were con- cerned. Absolutely. It was unfair to something-or-other, and while! she wasn’t declaring any personal vendetta, it was a challenge. May- be she’d do something with it. “Nice dance,” he had admitted casually that night at the Pi Gam formal. “See you next fall...” That, of course, could be such a vleasant generality. Susan put down the newspaper. Todd presented some kind of chal- | lenge, all right. On the other hand —and it made a nice mental argu- ment—why not skip it? After all, | there was Phil Humphries, and} she could continue on her merry little way dating the handsomest instructor ever to hit the State} campus, Or any campus, for that} matter. A bit wild, Phil Humphries, and he could stand a little taming down, but he was only 27 and on his way to becoming a genius in| chemistry, so it was said. She} wasn’t sure she wanted to under- | take the taming job, but the! thought was infriguing. large brown eyes. There were further physical embellishments | LOMBARDI ATTRIBUTES COMEBACK "#eeeewees TO DIETING AND WOOD-CHOPPING ** By STEVE Wide World Features BOSTON, Oct. 14.—Washed up last October and this year’s Na- tional League batiing champion! That's the amazing comeback staged by Ernie Lombardi. The lumbering and likable “Lom,” always a dangerous bat- ter, was dropped by Cincinnati at the end of last season when; it seemed his usefulness as a major league catcher was ended. But he surprised every one by reporting for spring training with the Boston Bra this year as a streamlined version of the catch- er every one thought was all through. “It was diet that did it,” con- fessed Ernie. “I dropped off those pounds by chopping wood | and chopping potatoes and starchy foods out of my diet.” Diet had much to do with Ern- ie’s shaving some 25 or 30 poun off his massive ly prominent in his comeback was his supreme confidence in him- Especially since he had visited | her a couple of times that sum- mer. She knew what the score O’LEARY in the race. Certainly, it wouttin't! have harmed Cincinnati to have| had him around, for’ basehits | were few and far between in the Reds’ batting order. “How does it feel to be bat- ting champion?” grins Lom. “Well, I guess it proves that | ‘Lom’ ain't quite washed up | yet.” | Ernie does carry a potent bat! to the plete—one which sprays singles and doubles off the out-j field walls and an_ occasional] homer far ‘above them.

She liked him, she hadn’t gotten around to think- | ing of that, yet. Jab From Humphries “TOR some reason,” said Eddie Luttrell, making a final stab at his hair, “freshman rush week is more of a madhouse than ever this year. Between you and me I'm tired of impressing dumb freshmen with the advantage of being a Pi Gam. C’mon, Todd, let’s get some air. Anyway, I’ve| got an errand to do.” Todd Malone looked up from the yo-yo he was dangling on a string and grinned. “Errand, did you say? You mean command ap- pearance, don’t you? Now what does she want?” Eddie looked sheepish. “Aw, Jane wants me to meet her kid sister, She’s a Delta Sigma fresh- man this year.” “Uh-uh. Count me out.” Todd held up a protesting hand. Eddie grabbed his foot and all but dragged him out of his chair: “Line up, chum, You may call the signals but I’m still captain of this varsity.” Todd rubbed his ankle. “Okay, but don’t maim me. You might want me to win a ball game with this foot some time.” They saw the lights of the Delta Sigma house on a slight hill as they walked up darkened Syca- more Street. “Know anybody there?” Eddie asked. “No, thanks.” “They're not poison, speaking. Couple of nice girls at that house. I’ll bet they’d give their back teeth for a smile from the great Malone.” “Yeah—I know. But what do I want with spare back teeth?” The door was opened by a tall, | red-haired girl who recognized Eddie Luttrell immediately. “Oh, hello, Ed, come_on in. I'll tel! Jane you're here.” She rushed off, with a quick, sideways glance Tod “Wh; too, | | for that matter. Love him? Well, strictly | d. at’d I tell you,” Eddie said. | THE REY rrr tog ‘ | more or less flattering eridearments. ‘Light Brown Curly Haired “Mr. Humphries is in the chemistry department,” Susan said. The place was full of girls, most of them pretty, and Eddie waved a greeting at some he knew. This was freshman rush week at its height. Someone was getting in some hot licks of boogie-woogie on a piano. Two girls walked past, flanking a po- tential pledgee, handing her an earnest sales talk. One of them winked at Eddie and he winked back knowingly. A girl and a man walked in from the terrace outside. It was Susan Drake. A swift look of sur- prise hit her face. “Hello, Eddie — how _are you? And look who’s here—Todd Ma- lone, straying from his natural habitat,” she smiled. “Phil,” she sai urnin; companion. “This is Ed Luttrell and Todd Malone. They play football,” she added in gorgeous understatement. “Mr. Humphries is in the chemistry department,” she explained to Eddie and Todd. “Yes, we know,” they chorused. Philip Humphries was tall and slender with dark blond wavy hair, There was a poised self- assurance about him as he smiled slightly. “Glad to meet you. Per- haps I should say I’m especially glad to me@t you.” His smile was sardonic, now. “After all, the work you gen- tlemen do every Saturday helps pay my salary, in a way. That alone convinces me there is a place for football.” “That alone?” Eddie inquired politely, but Humphries didn’t ac- | cept the challenge. | He turned to Susan. “Got to be running along, now.” He nodded vaguely at the girls buzzing around the large living room, “Happy hunting,” he inned. Then he nodded to Eddie and Todd and walked out the front | door, There was a questioning-look |on Eddie’s face as he turned to | Susan. “I see you’re majoring in ‘chemistry this year, buttercup.” She smirked. “It’s an interest- | ing subject when you get to know it” to her To be continued N’T GET (By Associated Press) MILWAUKEE.

CAALALA Ld dd ddededeaddedideadal To Business Firms The Fictitious Name Law passed by the 1941 Legislature, sets forth various provisions, such as registration with the county clerk, and advertising the personnel of those comprising the business con- cern or firm. The law as passed provides: . 1. All persons operating unincorporated busi- ness or professions under any name but their own proper or known called names, must register this “fietitious” trade name with the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the principal place of busi- ness is located. 2. A fee of $1.00 is charged for this registra- tion. 8. Furthermore, the names of all persons in- terested, and the extent to which they are interested must be registered as well. 4. Penalty for non-compliance denies any un- registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit in any court in this state, either as plaintiff or defendant, and it further provides that any person violating this law regarding registration is liable to having an in- formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name, and on convietion of such charge shall be liable to a fine of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, er both. 5. Before registration can be made, such in- tention to register must be advertised at least once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks in a newspaper as defined by law in the county where the registra- tion is made. This law svplieg to Apartments, Hotels, Filling Stations, Cabin Courts, or business of any kind ex- cept such as are operated under the name of the owner. Lawyers generally agree that the terms “‘proper or called name” as used in the law would be like this example: Suppose you are one of the numerous Jones family. Suppose your proper name is “John Edward Jones,” but your called name is “J. E.
