MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2 2) al ase | MORDER Chaptcr 17 Killer Malone Nee BASSETT goi back from the Daily Stater office late that night and tossed a book on her desk. Susan, in green jersey lounging pajamas, was stretched on her bed reading. “Hi, newshawk,” Susan greet- ed. “What’s on the front burner as Mr. Crosby would say.” “Well, for one thing,” Amy said slowly. “they’ve got an in- teresting story on tomorrow’: sports page.” Amy started to un- dress. “Mr. Todd Malone really “Killer Malone” now whether nc likes it or not,” she continued “He hit a freshman end so hard this afternoon he broke the poor kid’s leg and sent him to the hos- pital.” Susan sat upright. she echoed “He committed mayhem,” Amy said. “Al Scott of the sports ste‘ was telling me about it. He sas mo one has ever seen Ma.one Such a business-like mood as ni was today. He seemed to forge’ it was practice and thought every play was the one that would wir the game.” “Well, that?” j “Nothing—I suppose. But Al) said Todd was more than busi- ness-like. He said he was cold as ice. As much as Al hated to say it, he said Todd was almost vicious.” “I don’t get it,” Susan said} thoughtfully. “He what!” what’s wrong ‘Sorry Pal pops attitude appeared the ,” same on Wednesday anc again on Thursday. The sports writers went to Pete Bailey after prac tice. “Nothing to sa:*,” said Pete. They sought out Todd, himself. He turned on Frank Garvey of the Chronicle. “Get the hell out} of here,” he half-snarled. | Garvey lit a cigarette coolly. | “Okay, Killer,” ho said. Todd lunged, but Eddie caught him and dragged him back, slam- ming him down onto the bench. A frightened sophomore student manager, his eyes wide, looked up nervously as he stacked hel- mets from a push-cart. “What the devil’s got into you / lately?” Eddie snapped. “I didn’t say anything about it before be- cause I thought it might wear off. Something’s eating you, and I in- tend to find out before you crack up some more future varsity ma- terial. We had one helluva time keeping that freshman end from going to Tennessee and then when we get him you maybe ruin him for good.” Todd stared down at a shoe. “Sorry, pal.” “That all you have to say?” That's all, Ed. ...” Luttrell turned and walked toward the shower room. Against Purdue Todd was a cold, raging demon, He blocked like 2 steam-roller. When he hit a ball-carrier he slammed him down so he_ almost bounced Twice he hit Purdue runners so hard the ball popped from their arms and State recovered.

He gave his team little rest. driving them mercilessly. On one sequence of plays he sent Duchek pounding over guard or. three straight plays from two different formations. When Andy got up the third time a thin trickle of blood ran from his lip. “Hey, ain’t there any other ball- arriers on this club,” srumbled, and Todd stonily said they’re weak at that spot, Andy ind they can’t tell what’s com- ng. That’s what you’ve got to do. When a guy is down you got to keep hitting him where he’s weak.” In the huddle Eddie wiped a mear of sweat from his face and . looked at Todd. So that was it. It wound up, 20-7. Up in the press box, high on © top fringe of the stadium, the orts writers were pounding “t their copy, feeding it to the -graphers at their side. Garvey of the Chronicle turned > Buck Ebling of the News ‘That kid did everything but use yrass knuckles down there, 'to- level Just “All _ strictly though. Hard, hard.” “He almost slugged me last week,” Garvey said. “I called him ‘Killer’ I'd like to call him that in my story.” “Better not.” Ebling warned “Under any other circumstances you could get away with it. As it i he said significantly, “you on that’s the all. Andy | COFFEE RATIONING NO SUBSTITUTE | The rationing of coffee to jcivilians, which begins Novem- ber 28, illustrates our dependence |upon cargo ships and adequate jcontrol of the seas if we are to lenjoy our accustomed way: |life. ; Because of the demand for-ship- ping space, due to the emergency |of the war and the loss of many ships through enemy action, there are not enough ships to bring coffee from ‘Central and South America countries in nor- mal quantities. In other words, when you do without your extra cup of coffee, you demonstrate tribute to the of enemy U-boats. depredations Leon Henderson points out 1941, we consumed about thir- teen pounds of coffee per capita per year. to sixteen pounds and the rate, thus far in 1942, has been around 12.5 pounds a year. The ration of one pound in five weeks per per- son over fifteen represents slight- ly more than ten poupas per) capita per year.

Finally he shook his head. “You’re wrong.” he said flatly. “And I might as well tell von. He dropped a word last night that gave me a hint and I pressed him until he con- fesced, “Susie.” Eddie said with . cer- tain firmness, “your father was in town lest week and had a talk with Todd. The gist of the whole. thing was he said he didn’t want Todd to see you. Todd boiled'red like a lobster. He savs he was so mad he felt like slugging your Dad. i “Todd got to thinking too much | about it—not just because of you—” Eddie interjected — “But because of what it meant—that he _ wasn’t good company for a girl like vou.
