YESTERDAY: Susan Drake has gone back to State as a Senior, undecided whether to take up the challenge presented by Todd Malone. Malone is the powerhouse behind State foot- ball; he is also the most un- approachable young man Susan has met. And mosf young men find it easy to to be attracted to Susan. Now she reflects that Philip Humphries, young chem~ istry instructor, is always augil- able if Todd is not. Chapter Two Twosome With Todd FEW seconds after Phil Hum- phries had left the Delta Sigma house Jane Matthews came rushing downstairs. She was a pert brunette with long bobbed hair that bounced fluffily around her shoulders as she moved. “Hi, halfback,” she greeted Eddie. “Come here.” She grabbed Luttrell’s hand and dragged hi off toward the living room, b ly stopping for a quick hello to Todd and Susan. Susan whistled softly went into formation awfully didn’t she’ Todd grinned. “Sure did. Eddi: looked as though he were starting on an end run without the ball.’ Susan looked up at him quizzi cally. “Hello again,” she said ab stractedly, a smile on her face UverceRmy, SI ay “I'm satisfied with Mr. Hu “Want to go out on the terrace? ’s much cooler out there She walked past him towerd a double door and followed her He pulled up a wicker chair for her and then perched himself on th at stone railing und leaned inst a pillar Susan took out a package of cigarettes then withdrew the package a laugh. forgot.

He was ywer- fully, yet loosely built, and there was an easy grace every time he moved an arm cr leg. “You seemed a bit surprised when you bumped into me before. Don’t tell me_you didn’t know I was a Delta Sig. I'll just refuse to believe i “Well, to tell the truth—that’s the truth, or does that sound like double-talk?” “Just one step removed,” she replied drily, flicking ashes from her cigarette. “Not that it’s much balm for my feelings.” “You're kidding, I hope,” Todd said anxiously. Then he saw the expression around her mouth and he could have kicked himself for being so naive. “That Philip Humphries,” he said, breaking a short silence. “He’s pretty much of a big brain, isn’t he?” “Plenty,” she said with em- phasis. “He’s something of a genius in chemis* tf inter- SWIMMING POOL OPENED SUNDAY The new swimming pool for of- ficers opened Sun- day a No marked the oc promises to provide many a cool hour for all officers who enjoy a here special dip in the briny deep for recrea- ation It is also announced tion and rela that the new pool for enlisted men will be opened within the next week.

Susan said flatly, “He’s very bit- ter about it. His mother must have been trightened by a goal-line fumble. Anyway, Phil calls it the big business that is bankrupting education.” “Then why doesn’t he get a job at Slippery Rock Normal or some other small school where the plague hasn’t struck?” He swung his legs down to the floor and stood up, stretching. “I'd better dig Eddie up.” usan stood up, too. “Drop back again sometime,” she said lightly “Okay,” he said. “Thanks.” She thought he said it awfully casually, Trained For The Future Meee out of the Adminis- tration Building Susan swung down a gravel path leading to the mphries,” Dr. Coulter said. main gate of the campus. As she was passing the chemistry build- ing she heard someone cal] her name, She looked up. It was Phil Humphries, his smiling face stick- ing out of a second floor window “Come up for a few seconds and ‘ll drive you over to the ” he said “Tt’s a deal,” she told him. “I’ve got a couple of books here that seem to weigh a ton.” He met her at the entrance to his office and showed her inside. The door to an adjoining room opened and a stocky, white- haired man came out. He smiled instinctively when he saw Susan “Oh, Dr, Coulter,” Phil said. “May i present a friend of mine. Miss Drake—Dr. Coulter, our de- | partment head.” |. Dr. Stephen Coulter shook hands with her warmly. “It’s a pleasure, Dr. Coulter,” Susan said. “And it’s all min he replied He turned to Phil. “Mr. Hum phries, will you please check those supplies that came in a short while ago? It shouldn’t hold you up more than a minute.” “Glad to, Doctor. Be right back. Sue.” “T’ve always wished I'd studied more chemistry, Dr. Coulter,” Susan said. “It’s absorbing.” | He put his glasses away delib- | erately. “Yes, my dear—absorbing and vital. We are living in a sick | world—a world that needs many | cures. Chemistry must play an im- | portant part in the future.” | He sat down, clasping his knees | with his hands, “I am only sorry | that my work here must end soon. | Lam only six months from the re- | tirement age, you know. But I’m | satisfied that in Mr. Humphries 1 jam training one of several people who will carry out my ideals.” | “Tm sure he will,” Susan as- sured him quickly. Susan was very thoughtful as she walked with Phil to the rear |of the building where he had his maroon convertible parked.

A spectacular clash that start- led like a whirlwind, developed into a tight hurlers’ duel and 'then was climaxed in the twi- light with a stirring rally whith misfired too soon, saw the Navy’s {diamond tossers defeat Fort Tay- ‘lor 6-3 last night for the title of ‘the Key West Service League. It was the third and deciding contest of the Shaughnessy play- off series on the WNavy’s baseball field and color was add- ed to the already sphere of a crucial game by the, Fort Taylor band of about 15! pieces which enlivened proceed-| ings by its stirring renditions of} martial and popular selections. The large crowd of soldiers, sailors and civilians in the new grandstand saw the Army lads score once in the first and then |the bluejackets come right back to get four. Fort Taylor got another in the second to narrow the gap but the sailors added one to their total jin the third for a 5-2 edge. | The Army pecked away and! ‘got its third score in the fourth| on thundering homer by Bob} Yjerksted, leftfielder, but the) Navy counteracted that in the \fifth with its final tally.' Lefty Seay: of the Navy and | Grady McNabb, Fort Taylor, fac- ed each other on the slab. The \former got 14 strikeouts, walked | ‘five and allowed seven hits. Mc- Nabb whiffed three, gave up six hits and walked none during the seven-inning duel. The Navy opened up in its half, when Red Bogart, third baseman, tense atmo-} |er, singled Bogart home, and Clayton Sterling, first sacker jfrom Key West, pounded out a triple to clear the forward paths. | Sterling accounted for the fourth jscore soon later on a long fly to left by Joe Domenech, Key West | centerfielder. | The soldiers cap’ second on a walk to Williamson, catcher, when he scored with |two out on a long triple by Red Eichhorn, third baseman. The latter was thrown out at home, however, on a perfect relay from deep centerfield to the plate. In the third the bluejackets {cashed in another hit when | Domenech singled with two away and came racing in on a single by Ensign Reinschmidt, right- fielder, and an outfield error. Fort Taylor kept the fire alive in the fourth on Yjerksted’s ter- ‘rifie circuit blow which traveled jnearly 400 feet but in the fifth {the Navy’s Paul Dixon doubled, |stole third and loped home on jan infield misplay. The soldiers threatened serious- lly in the last two stanzas. Beas- ley singled and Yjerksted walk- ed and both advanced on a pass- | ed ball with none away. Seay, | however, tightened down and ‘struck out the next three bats- ‘men to retire the side. In the seventh the Army was still in the ball game but again ‘its rally blew out. McNabb lived on an error and Eichhorn singled with no outs. The same | occurred, however, as Seay prov- ed himself equal to the occasion, | proceeding to fan the next three ‘to bring about the triumph. Eichhorn of the soldiers’ nine got the most hits for the night, ‘having two singles and a triple jto his credit in four trips. Beas- ley had two in four chances. Meska paced the victors with two singles in thre trips. | The losers executed a double play in the fourth via a fly put- |out to short and a quick toss to ‘second to nip a runner. Sonny Jaudon, Navy catcher, ‘had 15 putouts to his credit. The | Army’s defensive play was well distributed with Yandle leading by making four putouts and one assist.
