JACKETS HOSTS TO FOUR-TEAM MEETJAN.2 Annual Blind Tourney To Be Held In New Gymnasium Arrangements are now being made under the direction of Principal W. Guy Brown for the staging of the annual four-team blind net tourney. The tourney, for the first time since its inauguration three years ago, will be held in Decatur, Monday, January 2—with the new gymnasium as the scene of the conflict. Coach Hugh Andrews’ Yellow Jackets will be the host squad, with the Bluffton Tigers, the Hartford City Airedales and the Berne Bears furnishing the opposition. Plenty of competition is expected to develop in the tourney as each team makes an effort to gain the trophy presented each year to the winning quintet. The Airedales have won both of the previous tourneys, capturing the first one in the Tiger gym and last year winning on their own court. Each team will certify 10 men for the event. The pairings will be made an hour before the first game. The Tigers carry a win over the locals while the Berne-Yellow Jacket tilt Friday night is expected to lend somewhat of a forecast on the event. The Airedales have not met the Jackets yet this season and are not on the Berne schedule. Complete details on the tourney will be announced from Principal Brown s office within the next few days. o

tgiv love is

SYNOPSIS Constance Darby is just 20 and terribly in love with young Terry Cannon.’assistant athletic coach in an upstate college. In June, on a visit to his home in Northwood, he and Connie plan to marry the following October. For the summer, Terry will act as swimming instructor at a boys’ camp and Constance will be secretary to Gordon Keita, well-known newspaper correspondent, radio commentator and ladies’ man. As far as Northwood knew. Gordon, its favorite son, had returned to write a book. It did not know that he was ostracized from New York because of a scandal and was also broke. Rosalind,

Constance’s 18-year-old sister, envies the life of luxury enjoyed by the folk who live in that exclusive part of the town called “The Hills." She has been seeing the wealthy playboy. Van Howard. Constance warns her he is not serious and would never marry her. "I’ll show yout” Rosalind retorted. “I’ll show everybody!” While working for Gordon at the Carter Estate, Constance meets Avis Bailey, attractive, young debutante. The latter is obviously interested in the handsome Gordon. When Gordon says That some day he and Constance will play tennis with Avis and Van Howard, Constance is troubled. “I won’t let myself become involved with these people.” Van promises hi* mother that he will not see Rosalind ♦ again. The latter is broken-hearted when he does not come to their usual rendezvous. As the days go on, Gordon finds himself falling in love with Constance. Avis warns her not to take him seriously. Constance likes the society girl and feels she can trust her. One day, at the exclusive Northwood Country Club, Constance meets Van. He confesses he loves Rosalind but can do nothing about it because of his family. Returning home that evening, Constance finds Terry waiting for her. Although he despised himself for it., Terry was jealous of Gordon and could not stay away any longer, even though he had to return to camp that night. Time passes and one day, as Gordon helps Constance with her coat, his hands rest on her shoulders. A rush of emotion sweeps over her. Why had his touch stirred her? Brooding over Van, Rosalind attempts suicide. It develops, she and Van are married. CHAPTER XI « The doctor said. “He ought to be norse-whipped, marrying her and then treating her like this.” “She asked for him a little while ago." Mrs. Darby said. “She called for him. She must love him. Constance. You know how independent she’s always been." Constance nodded, feeling her lashes wet. “Yes. I think she does love him. And I think he loves her.” Her mother raised helpless eyes ‘But what are we going to do? Your father ’ ” “His way isn't the best way. de 11 think Van should be horse-whipped in the public square, too." She pated her mother’s round plump shoulder "I’ll see about it. Rosalind is Van’s wife. We must realize that. She's his wife. Don’t worry I’ll go up to the Howards now and talk to • hem They’ve got to know about it” “Von haven’t had any supper. Constance ” “1 don’t want any. I’ll be back noon Now don’t worry." Downstairs again, she went into the living room to her father. “Where are you going?" he demanded sharply “Stay out of this, Constance! I'll handle itl I’ll handle them I I’ll show them who they * re *” “Rosalind is Van's wife We can nandle it quietly or create a terrible I scandal The first way is certainly the best way They don’t know anything about it and they deserve an I explanation first. Please, let me see them now If I fail, then you can try " “They'll throw you outl” “Let them try!" Hurrying out to the car, she knew it was not to the Howard home she «-.<» going first but to Gordon. The Howards were his friends. He would help her And yet for a moment »he hesitated remembering his bends that had almost caressed her tac’.id.rs only a little while ago. K_t there was no time to think of •; at row “1 don’t want to be gratefj! t • him for anything but this isn’t the uc*« to be proud.”

Taciturn Mrs. Green opened the door of the Spanish house. “Oh, Miss Darby, did you forget something?” “Is Mr. Keith at home? 1 must see him at once.” “He’s in the study.” Frowning through the smoke of a cigaret, Gordin was reading her neatly typewritten pages when he looked up and saw her. Her hair, he thought, is like a halo around her head. He arose and smiled. “Hello. Didn’t you get enough work for one day? Have you come back for more?” Then seeing her flecked eyes troubled, he asked almost sharply, “What’s wrong. Constance?”

11 t a x ii h iv “Are you out of your mind, Gordon? Why, well have it annu.led at once!”

She was nearly breathless. “Rosalind tried to kill herself today. Poison I didn’t know until I got home. The doctor was there. She and Van are—are married. They were secretly married in Preston and he paid to keep it out of the papers. Then he stopped seeing her . ..” “She’s going to get over it, isn’t she?” “Yes.” The tightness of his face relaxed. “Well, that’s the most important thing. Poor kid. This is hard on your parents.” He knew why she had come to him and he felt pleased and flattered. Constance needed him now “Suppose we go to see the Howards at once. Stephen is away but Nina is there. And let me do the talking. It probably won’t be very nice for you.” “I don’t care about myself.” They went in his car. Should she call Terry at the camp? It was he she wanted now and she knew he would come at once regardless of his job if she sent for him But there was nothing he could do and she considered the hundredmile drive in the night. He might hurry and there might be an accident ... A servant admitted them into the Howard home and led the way to the drawing-room. Sitting stiffly m a high-backed chair, Constance thought ahe had never seen so lovely, so dignified a room. It seemed to dwarf her. Nina Howard, small, brown-eyed, with softly waved, brown hair, came into the room. Wearing a green dinner gown, she did not look old enough to be the mother of a grown son. Constance arose. Gordon introduced them. Looking puzzled, Nina said coolly, “How do you do, my dear. Constance’s response was scarcely audible. Standing between them Gordon said. “I’ve some rather shocking news for you, Nina. 1 wish Stephen were here. It’s about Van. He and Miss Darby’s sister, Rosalind, were married in Preston a few weeks ago. It’s perfectly legal Today Rosalind tried to kill herself.*' , Her brown eyes opened wide, one
