Both White and Gentry played with the Pirates. The backfield is composed of White, who led the league | U ground gaining; Ed Danowski, the New York Giants’ great all round star who excels at passing; Ace Parker, Brooklyn's quarterback who comes close to being the leagues most valuable player, and ( lark Hinkle. Green Bay's old war horse who has been cavorting over professional gridirons for eight seasons. White gained 567 yards in 152 attempts, and completed 29 out of 73 passes. Danowski accounted for more than 1,000 yards with his running and passing. He picked up 215 yards in 48 attempts and completed 70 out of 129 passes for S4B yards. Danowski also performed nobly as a defensive player and blocker. Parker accounted for even more yardage than did Danowski, piling up 1,118 with his running and passing. He gained 253 yards in 93 attempts and completed 63 out of 148 passes for 865 yards. Hinkle was the workhorse of the Green Bay backfield, performing notably at blocking, line-plunging and punting. He led the league in scoring with 58 points and his kicking average was slightly more than 40 yards for the season. Again a standout in his eighth

These two had no secrets from each other and though they had known each other all their lives and had seen each other in their worst moments, their Relationship had never been commonplace. Terry understood every flicker of her dark lashes. He knew that even as a child she had never cried when she was hurt or angry, that she went deathly white and was still and silent. And her understanding of him was complete. She knew his strict code of honor as an athlete. She knew he was sensitive and proud. What two people in the world, she had

often thought, were better equipped for marriage than Terry and she? They stayed on the beach all that sunny afternoon. They had gay moments and moments of seriousness. Later, wearing a blue linen frock, she went home with him to supper. For a great many young people there were obstacles in the way of their love, she thought, glancing first at Terry, then at his goodhumored father, then at his small, pretty, dark-haired mother. But there were no obstacles except lack of money for Terry and her. His parents liked her. Her parents approved. . , ~ j Mary Cannon's blue eyes twinkled. “Terry told me last night, ConstHTICC Terry jerked up his blond head. “Wait a minute, Mother. I haven’t asked her yet I just warned her I was going to in October. Paul Cannon chuckled. “What’s the matter with you, Terry? What bad technique! I told you two years ago if you didn’t put an engagement ring on her finger pretty soon, some other young man would!” Terry smiled at her. We don t need bonds, do we, Constance? But you’re going to have an engagement ring That’s one of the reasons for teaching kids how to swim this sum--01 He left at eight o’clock to drive a hundred miles to the boys cany.

season In the National league, Mel Hein of the New York Giants had one of his greatest years at center. The guard positions were probably the weakest or most evenly matched In the league. Danny Fortmann, Chicago Hears, and Byron Gentry, Pittsburgh, were given the berths. In his second year In the league Ed Wldseth, New York Giants, became recognized as the loop's greatest tackle. Joe Stydahar, a 240-pound strong boy, was picked as Wldseth’s running mate. Don Hutson, Green Hay's nimblefingered pass catcher, and Bill Hewitt, Philadelphia, ranked by most coaches as the smarest and hardest wingman to get around, were named at ends. Hutson caught 32 passes for 548 yards to top the league and was second high scorer with 57 points. Hewitt was a star on a losing team and reachled his heights In the season's final when he led the Eagles to an upset triumph which knocked Detroit out of the western division race. oRepresentative of one of America’s leading furriers will be at our store Saturday with 150 Fur Coats.

love you so, Constance. Every time I see you it gets stronger and better." "And I love you, Terry." “Say it again." “I love you, Terry. I’ll say it every night. I’ve said it every night since I was fourteen.” Standing on the porch, she watched him drive away. Her lower lip trembled. Please make this the shortest summer of my life. Make the days pass quickly. Let me have no time to be lonely for him. In October I shall never be lonely again. I shall be with him for always. She talked with his parents and then went home. Her parents were in the living

room and her mother looked wot ried. “Rosalind went out early thi.i afternoon and I haven’t heard from her since. We couldn’t wait supper for her. I called Helen but she wasn’t there and that’s where she told me she was going.” "She only thinks about herself,” Matt Darby grumbled behind his newspaper. Constance went to her room. It was ten o’clock when Rosalind came in and she had been crying. “Father just bawled me out again!” she cried, flinging herself on her bed. “He treats me as if I were a baby I” “Where were you ? Were you—were you out with Van Howard, Rosalind?” Rosalind sat up and brushed her tears away with her hand. “Yes. How did you know? Did you see us?” “I guessed. You—you shouldn’t!” “I don't care. It’s my business, isn’t it?” Constance looked at her steadily. "Several of the boys from the Hills date girls like us, Rosalind. Just for a thrill and a conquest and a novelty. Can’t you realize that? They don’t marry us and soon the boys we know lose respect for us. The people in the Hills are rich. We aren’t Thay live in a different world. It isn’t any better but it’s different.” “He likes me. He said so!” “And he—he kissed you, didn’t he?” She nodded. Constance said, “I won’t protect you in this and I won’t lie for you, Rosalind." “IH show you I I’ll show everybody!” She buried her face in the pillow and sobbed. “I’m crazy about him, Constance I Oh, I wish I were dead!” (To be continued) Copyright by Irb Bennett Obtribubd by King Fmlutm Syndicate.

Anne’s Sister Honeymoons

Mr. and Mrs. George McLanahan Following their brilliant wedding in Boston, the former Sally Clark sister-in-law of young John Roosevelt, son of the president, and het husband, George McLanahan, depart for a honeymoon which wil take tflem to Honolulu. John Roosevelt was an usher at the wedding and his wife, Anne, Sally’s sister, maid of honor.

Fire Department’s Efforts To Drive Birds Away Birds on North Fifth street Tuesday night were treated to a free bath by the members of the city fire department in a method guaranteed to result in their exodus. but which apparently had little effect on them. Many complaints have been received by residents on that street about the large number of black birds, sparrows and starlings roosting in the shade trees on that street. It had been reported that in two neighboring cities, streams of water from fire hose would kill or stun the majority of the birds and frighten the rest away permanently. However, the department used from 180 to 200 pounds of pressure in throwing water into the trees with the result that the birds only moved out of the block ino the next, for the night. Possibly the only explanation given for the lack of success in the experiment is that the bird in Decatur are tougher than they are in other Indiana cities. Another possibility is, members of the department said, that the birds will die of pneumonia after their unexpected “needle shower" bath. However, in view of the fact they apparently thrive in the cold sleet and snow storms, which have fallen this tall, little hope was held out that the birds would not be back on their perches, this evening. Members of the fire department suffered more than the birds, because nearly al! of them were drenched with the cold water when it was thrown directly upwards in an effort to obtain more force. The street was blocked by members of the city night police force and volunteers during the experiment to prevent motorists and pedestrians from receiving an unexpected shower.
