CHAPTER IX pvUTCH was resting his game leg while he sat on the porch of a Pasadena hotel and compared notes with Donovan, his husky teammate. “What are you going to order for your first meal when you break training?” the former Inquired dreamily. "Chocolate pie a la mode, chocolate pie a la mode, chocolate pie a la mode—and a blonde,” sighed Donovan. “Nice talk! Nice talk!” Dutch opened his eyes to give his friend a disgusted look, then sat up with a Jerk. On the porch before him stood Cheers Reynolds. "Well! Well!” He hobbled to his feet. "If it ain't the woman of moods! And what are you doing so far from home. If 1 may ask?” “I robbed the till at the Sweetery to get money for the trip," she smiled a bit shyly. Then: "Well, are you going to tell mo where he Is?" ’’You mean Paddy? He’s In Room 401. Knock twice and say A1 sent you." As Cheers nodded and started away lie added suddenly: "How about giving him a message? Just tell him the word is ‘Crawl.’ ” "That’s silly.” She was impatient to get away. "Sure. But you tell him anyway.” As the girl hurried Into the hotel Soapy passed her as he came out. “Who was that?” he asked Dutch. "Don't you know?” was the surprised retort. "That’s Cheers Reynolds—O'Riley’s reason for living!” “Ummmm!” The coach nodded thoughtfully. "Nice looking little girl." He turned on his heel and reentered the hotel. Paddy was studying Oscar, the Green Ridge mascot, with great satisfaction when a knock sounded on his door. "Come In," he yelled without looking up. Cheers entered, then rapped twice oi. the open door. “All right! All right.” Paddy groaned as he touched up one of the many scores on the toy donkey's flank. “Knock—knock—who’s there?” “Clarify,” she answered In a deep
bass.
( "Ail right again! Clarify who?” "Clarify come in?” Cheers finished In her normal voice. Paddy jumped up at this and faced her, hardly believing his eyes. “It’s a lie!” he whispered. "That la. unless I've died and gone to heaven!" “Then you’re really glad to see
me?”
“Am I glad to see you?” He sprang forward and took both of her hands In his. "Am I glad! Say!” "What’s this?’’ Cheers Inquired, pointing at the deserted Oscar. "Just a bust of Schultz.” “It does kind of look like August." she agreed thoughtfully. "Oh. say. he asked me to give you a message. Something about crawl being the word.” “What?” Paddy gasped as though be had been splashed with cold water. “ ‘Crawl Is the word’ was what he said. 1 didn't think It made sense either.” “Oh yea. It makes sense all right,” O’Riley suddenly had become stiff and distant. As Cheers looked at him in complete surprise he rushed on: “Now, let’s get something straight. The last time I saw you —there was a battle. So what did you come way out here for?" He folded his arm* majestically and |
at this grim, hard-to-get person before her. Then she capitulated. Moving closer to him, she began softly: "Aw, Paddy—when I get mad I get all mixed up and say the craziest things — Be nice — Gee — they allow a dog three bites. Don’t you think you ought to allow a girl
three mistakes."
His determination to make her crawl rapidly weakening, Paddy 1 joked down at the girl tenderly. . hen he put a hand under her chin and tilted her face up to him. “Remember,” he said quietly. “1 told you if I ever had anything to say to you, l'(t say it? I’ve got some-
thing to say now. .
On the next play Russell fumbled, then recovered in his characteristic
manner.
“Now you see!" Cheers exclaimed to her sister. “If they had Paddy in there!” She gritted her teeth and added: “That dumb lunk of a
coach!”
On the third play Russell fumbled once more and Green Ridge took time out for a huddle. “I was afraid of that,” the commentator remarked cheerfully. '“Russell's young. Inexperienced. It's •asking a lot to expect him to meet Khis veteran Sierra team. . . It was '.Russell, you remember, who almost .'lost the Erie game for Green Ridge
“Weill Well!" Dutch exclaimed, “tf It ain’t the woman of moodsl And what are you doing so far away from home, may I ask?”
“Yes, Paddy?” Almost in Iris arms now, she waited with bated breath. ’’All right, O’Riley!” Soapy’s voice cut through the love scene like a knife. "Turn In your suit!” As the youngsters stared at him uncomprehendlngly he nodded toward the open door. “You’d better get out of here, little girl.” ho told Cheers. "You can’t talk to Cheers that way!” flamed Paddy. “I haven” got time to talk to her at all,” was the frigid reply. “You’re through. O'Riley.” “You can't take Paddy off the team!” walled the girl. “Outside!” He pointed to the door and waited until she had gone. “I can take It, Coach,” exclaimed Paddy when they were alone. “But you've got to listen about Miss
Reynolds.’’
"If you’re smart, you’ll forget about It,” was the quiet reply.

On the day of the big game Cheers and Susie found themselves perched high in the Rose Bowl close to a box where some radio announcer was describing the colorful crowd, the parading bands and, of course, the wonderful California climate. “Too bad neither Schultz nor C’RIley is going to meet Ossie Merrill today,” the commentator chatted with his unseen audience. “Schultz is laid up with a recurrence of the knee injury he received in the Erie game. The fans are buzzing with a thousand theories as to why O'Riley is out of the lineup, although It Is pretty well known that a girl was mixed up In the moss . . . another development In the much publicized Rose Bowl quadrangle, by the way. . . Now the teams are on the field. Sierra, In the white Jerseys, lb about to kick off to Green
Ridge. ..”
The announcer paused, studied the
through nervousness. Those two tbobbles haven't done the Easterners’ .morale any good. Sierra’s having «i swell time out there—they’re kidding Green Ridge now. Funny thing, though. Coach Soapy Moreland
doesn't seem worried."
Again the teams lined up. But this time Russell broke through the over-confident Sierra line and started a sensational, sidewinding run down the field. Ossie made a dive for him as he came past, but tho supposedly nervous youngster stopped in his tracks, made a quick shift and was off for a touchdown, leaving the fullback staring after
him open-mouthed.
“I take it all back, folks! I take it all back!” the radio man was yelling as he pounded his binoculars on tho table before him. “This Russell kid ts all right! He Just got away for a sensational run-to-a-touchdown. . . Wait a minute. What’s this, folks. . .” He grabbed a slip of paper which an assistant slammed before him, gasped and dashed on: "It wasn't Russell who made that run—it was Paddy O’Riley! O'Riley reported to the official as himself—but he went in with Russell’s number on and a nose guard helmet which made him unidentifiable. Man-o-man-o mun-O-MAN! O'Riley at fullback. . . Nobody expected It! Soapy Moreland pulled oue out of the hat that time.” “Cheers, honey,” Susie screamed over tho roar of the crowd. “That's Mr. O’Riley out there—You remember Mr. O'Riley, don't you?” "Yeah — I remember him—the heel!” was the bitter reply. As her sister stared uncomprehendingly, she rushed on. eyes blazing. "He and that Soapy Moreland had this all figured out ahead of tune—and they made me the goat!” (To b, oo at tn ued) ——«—
