: THE STORY: No longer popular with Jiis teammates and classmates is State #aotball star Pete Laird, pursued by miovie actress Stephanie Stevens, who is “slyly using him for his publicity value: Stephanie’s compliments and attentions have turned his once-miodest head and estranged his college - sweetheart, Anne Humphreys, his best friend and team capiain, George Landers. Coach Dinty Dugan is already worried about team Jnorale and resentment of Pete when Pete and George, who. has finally conféssed his love to Anne, have an argue’

Other meme prs of the team decide to insist em e’s expulsion, but George, hospital xed with his ‘injured shoulder, tells “them the argument was his own fault, & statement Anne reluctantly confirms.

They just eked out a win at Iowa when Pete scooted 34 yards for the only touchdown in a ragged game. Purdue and Georgia Tech were easier, but State lacked the zip and crushing * power of the first two games. Although the team as a whole lost some | prestige, Laird gained fame as the season rolled along. Writers called him the king of sports for 1941. Storms lay ahead for -State’s football forces, however. Out of the north an ugly rumble headed to-
