She felt guilty everytime she thought of the extra expense it en tailed, but shucks! She knew Ralph felt better knowing she had It and ?he had been glad many times he had insisted on having it put in be fore he went overseas. She did not feel so alone and cut off from every ! one. An excited voice came over the ' wire as she put the receiver to her ear. "Hello, Ma Fergerson, this is Bill Paige. Now, don't get frightened, but be sure and lock all your doors and windows. Two of the prisoners ; have escaped from the penitentiary and the police think they are headed I this way. Don't answer the door if ? anyone comes until you find out who ' it is. One of the boys from the vil ; lage is coming to stay with you ! until they're caught." The obese bulldog, Jefferson, blinked his eyes, then clambered to his feet, growling. "Land's sake, Jefferson, now don't you start making a fuss . , ." I Her breath caught in her throat as , mu * ? "What da you want here? I have nothing for you."' a man appeared, in the doorway, ? tall man with a bleak grey face. Behind him stood another man. Jefferson's hoarse growls filled the room as he crouched to spring. The second man advanced toward him, seizing the heavy iron poker as he passed the stove. Ma seized the dog around the neck and held him tightly. "Don't you dare hurt him," she cried, "he's only! trying to protect me. You," she turned to the first man, "you're the escaped prison ers, aren't you? What do you want here? I have nothing for you." "We want money and clothes," snarled the toad-eyed man, "and if you don't shut that dog up FD bash his head in." "1 have no money," Ma faltered, "1 am really quite poor. I do a lit tle sewing to buy enough to eat, but that is all the income I have." The bleak-faced man shrugged. "I hate to contradict a lady, but we were told you had a son overseas and he sent you money to save for him, and you also have your allot- f ment check, so don't give us that j story." Ma sank back resignedly. "I can't [ stop you from tearing my house apart," she said, "but if you will get me that box of dog biscuits from the cupboard, I'll give my dog one, since his growling annoys you." The man tossed the box in her lap. She gave the dog a biscuit, then sat holding it, silently watch ing the two men as they went into Ralph's room. She cried out when they came out, both dressed in his clothes. "Those are my son's," she whis pered. "They're not quite as conspicu ous as the suits we were wearing," grinned the bleak-eyed one. "Where , is your money." "I tell you I have no money," Ma | cried desperately. "Just what is in that teapot in the cuboard. Take that and go." I "Aw, quit stalling around," growled Shorty. "We've wasted too much time with you already. If I twist your arm a few times you'U be glad to tell us." An exclamation of delight inter rupted him. The other mau held up an oiled silk package he had found in the bottom drawer of an old chest standing in the corner. ? "Here it is," he cried, "Look at j those knots. Come on, we'll open ! it when we get away from here. We haven't time now." Ma waited until the sound of their footsteps had died away, then she tiptoed to the door and locked it. Coming back to her chair, she care fully removed the dog biscuits from the box, revealing a layer of crisp green bills. "I'd have just died," the confided to .the dog, "if they had found the money Ralph has been sending home. As soon as someone comes from the village I'm going back with them so I can pat this in the bank." Then she started to chuckle, "Wish I could be around when those fellows open that package and find that Confederate money of Grand father's I've been saving all these years." The college football ttasaa la over ?on football fields. But It really should be only beginning on the part of those who believe that true col lege lootbau is ? great game and should be saved. We mean saved from too much out right professional ism and a degree of semi - professional ism that is just as bad. It may be that we have harped on this subject too ftft-n nut It it still GrxnUud Rice a vita" matter to those who love col lege footbaD as it should be run and played. There are four leading organiza tions who should have a hand in this checking up. 1. The college presidents?wh# are supposed to be the heads of their institutions. These men con trol student oMirations, classroom ability. 2. The graduate managers. 2. The football coaches, who have much at stake and who have taken a-big part of the beating. 4. The alumni who are interested In something more than winning teams at any costr Those could be major factors. Southern Situation Here is a letter that might inter est you: "Dear Sir: "I happen to be from' the South where I know that the football situ ation, from a student or an amateur angle, is pretty bad. But it in just about as bad, although better cov ered up, in many other sections. Down here we pay and take care of a lot of football players who in too many cases are poor students. But I have found the same thing is true pretty well around the map. I don't believe any reformers are going to stop this. I believe it will fall of its own weight from the feeling I have found developing among the students themselves and the alumni. They are getting sick of seeing their colleges represented too often by physical education and other soft course players who are interested in football only for pay, and a pro fessional job later on. "Many of these students can just about read and write, and they im prove little even in this respect. Don't think the real students don't know this. Most of them know the ones that have been brought in, are being paid and what soft courses they are taking. They. know-how professional the game has grown in many places. And I've also run across a number of coaches who are getting fed up with their Jobs of recruiting or taking care of the paid men brought in. ?Southerner." We put this problem up to a veter an football coach in the East who knows most of the Inside answers. "I doubt," he told me, "that you can prevent certain forms of payment that can be so easily cov ered up. There will be no real im provement until entrance tests aro made much stiller, until college classroom requirements are lifted many decrees. I am referring to physical education players, for whom football is a rood part ad their college work. There are sev eral other soft courses I might men tion where big, fast and rateable football players are taken rare of. These boys are getting nothing est of college except football. After aD, you are supposed to go to college largely for an education. Why not have each college print on its football programs the courses its football players are taking? Harm to Character "Of course poor boys deserve their chance for an education. Thou sands, possibly hundreds of thou sands, who never kicked or threw a football do get that chance. Foot ball is too great a game to be wrecked by the modern desire to win, no matter what the ethics, no matter what the cost. These forget the great harm they also are doing to young players from the side of building character. They know who is cheating." As a player and a coach and a man of high character this man's name stands high in football. Oddly enough, Frank Butterworth, one of Tale's most famous stars, and John Kleran, the philosopher and thinking machine, had the same answer?"Abolish all gate re ceipts, as Army and Notre Dams did for years." "You can't have amateur sport with big gate receipts," Kieraa says. Illiterate Athletes I already can bear one indignart war cry. "Our college standards are high. We meet every particu lar in this respect." Certainly the Big Nine and the Ivy league are among the leaders. But how did aoe of the college stars from one big conference, who had starred on a team lor two years misspell 41 out of 56 words in a certain brief exam ination (some of these a 14-year old high school boy wouldn't have missed) and still be eligible tor toot , bellt
