It was all too apparent to 45,000 People—and especially to Susan. “He must have had a bad three days,” Jane murmured with a sidelong glance at Susan, “He did,” she returned. Tight Spot ‘HERE were three minutes re- maining in the final quarter. Todd skipped back to the safety Position as Vanderbilt ‘went into punt formation. The Vandy punter got it away and the ball soared down toward Todd, waiting for it on the State 15-yard line. He moved slightly to the right to allow for the wind as two Van- derbilt linemen thundered down . on him. He moved forward as the ball dropped toward his arms. He seemed to start running be- fore he had the ball. He juggled it for an instant at the end of his fingers and then the Vandy end hit him. The ball bounded out of his hands completely and rolled to- ward the State goal line. The other Vandy lineman swooped down on it on the four-yard line, It was in stunned silence that the crowc watched Vanderbilt line up-in a single wing, The ball carrier, behind a wall of interfer- ence, swept around right end over the goal line. That made it 13-13. The big wlock was stopped at the two- minute mark as Vanderbilt lined for the extra point. Two min- utes to go. If Vandy converted, it would be all over. There would) be nogime for State to strike batk p@ll it out of the fire. REMEMBER—' Your Credit Is Good” MR. | stop at our place. My kid’s having a birthday party and he'd love to have you stop in.” Todd nodded again, vaguely. ’ sports writer from the Chron- icle edged toward Todd but Eddie intercepted him. “If vou don’t jmind, Bob—” he said. The sports writer looked at Todd, then Ed- die, shrugged and turned away, ; seeking Pete Bailey. Eddie, buttoning his shirt, walked over and stood by the win- dow in the tower dressing room. Down below, thé'last of the crowd was streaming away from the sta- dium. Papers littered the ground. The last few motor cars were leav- ing the parking lot. Eddie turned from the window. “Come on, pal,” he said to Todd. “Duchek and I will wait for you.” “Mind if I go home alone?” Todd mumbled from beneath his arms. “Yeah—we’d all mind. The whole gang wanted to wait for lyou, but I said Duchek and I would be enough. Get it?” he said sig- nificantly. Todd rolled over on his back as the trainer slapped him one good whack to indicate the rubdown was through. Todd flexed his shoulders and looked at Eddie. He smiled weak- ly. Eddie grinned back. “I guess I owe the gang a big one for today,” Todd said. Eddie nodded. “But you'll find press you for it.” vs Todd swung his féet dowp.ento to the traipe: y guy at tha.” To be continued stracted]; I'ma juck t Announcing a Wide Selection of Fall and Winter COATS and Stylish New | we're good creditors.

This unusual honor accorded service men in this area reflects jthe high quality of weekly cards | staged for their entertainment by | the NOB Recreation Department and furthers the local claim that Key West has just about the best in the South when it comes to an amateur boxing team. The Key West squad that will Perform before the Miamians ; will include three from the U.S. Naval Air Station, two from the Naval Operating Base, one from the U. S. Naval Hospital, one from the Section Base, one from Craig’s Docks and one from Fort | Taylor. | They are: NAS—Steve Earner, Steve Ehrsam and Jimmy Du- )2an; NOB—Herb Oldaker and Frank Lehn; U.'S, Naval Hos- pitalh—Bob Whitney; Section Base—Leogard Fielding; Craig’s Docks—BillyCosder; Fort’ Taylor —Henderson Boree. ; Secreet Vs. Nettlow «Sammy Seereet, 22-year-old. , bluejacket who is rated the sixth ¢best welter in<his world, had a fight scheduled with Ray “Su- |gar” Robinson in New York some , months ago but it was cancelled ; when Secreet entered the Navy. |The sailor has beaten some of the best men in “his division, |having gained nods,over Norman Rubio, and the Canadian cham- |pion, Mexie Berger. | His cpponent, Al Nettlow, -was ‘also one of the top ten welters a year or so ago. Stationed at the Jacksonville Air Base, Nett- jlow is working hard for his ten- rounder by training with Georgie Abrams, the leading contender \for the world’s middleweight title, and Tommie Tucker, rated seventh among the light heavies. The six-round semi-final brings together the }pound Dick Daniels and Milton Lambert, 190.

SELECTED Gardners And Milners | To Play For Cage Tilt The Milners and Gardners last night at the High Schoo] gymna- |sium won the right to oppose each jother for the basketball cham- ‘pionship of the Key West Senior High School. The Gardners were the first to give notice they were ready for the finals. Taking on the Girards. in the opening last night, they ran up a one-sided score for their second straight victory in a best two-cut-of-three series. Final count was 69-18. The Gardners defeated the Girards before to jump out in front in the playoff between the clubs. The outcome last night - was never in doubt. The , Gardners rung up an early lead and never were threatened. They establish- | ed themselves as favorites in the forthcoming championship fight. Minus one of their star for- wards, Rosam, the victors play- ed inspired ball all the way. Rosam was gut of action because of illness. Herold Haskins, diminutive guard for the Gardners, played as fine a brand of bal as ever any high school boy has played. He racked up 20 points and display- ed an excellent floor game. Scoring honors were shared | with Haskins by Morgan, who} played the best game of his life, | {spectators claim. } ; Adams and Smith were out-| standing on the defense. For the losers, Barber and: Sweeting played the best ball, with Guerra coming in for fav-} orable mention. | Lineups: Girards, (18) Player— ‘Sweeting, f Darcie. Papy, c ws zi Guerra, g pincaes BOR S.
