Citadel Wins Ring Laurels C lunibia. S. C.. March 3.—-ι AF)— The Citadei won the Southern Con ference boxing tournament Saturday night when Louis Lempesis, its cla^y 145-pound fighter, pounded out a de cision over Hotsv Alprestein of Maryland. Lempe.sis entered tiie ring u ith his team counting Π points and needing only one finals victory to put the champi·. nship on ice. Lempesis started slowly and Alper stein gave him trouble at first but the Cadet, who was defending divis ion titlist, tore into the Marylander in the final round with his fists flying wickedly. Alperstein couldn't stand up under the pounding and was on the canvas at the gong. Team scores were The Citadel 17, North Carolina 13, Virginia Tech 11, South Carolina 10, Maryland 8 and Çlemson 5.

However, it has appeared in print that, answering quest on from her <· llegiate audience, she stated that, while opposing win, there are "snme things worth dying for." That, of course, wasn't the same thing as saying that "we're nearly in the war." a- .Tes-ο .Tones put it. Still, query the - ■ ν pondents, didn't it verge on it'.' Nobody has had the nerve to put this question up to the White House directly: it would be pretty sas v. but there'.- a lot of wondering about it. What Mrs. Roosevelt said appear ed in the same issues of the san e newspaper^· as the story of President Rosevelt's jab at "meaningless mouthings." It's natural that there's considerable paralleling of the two yarns. Mrs. Roosevelt said she was op posed to war. Well. Jesse Jones didn't say he was in favor of it. All he s.,id was that "we're nearly in it." Neither did he say that there are "some things worth dying for." That was stronger than anything he said. But Jesse got spanked. There's no news that Mrs. F. Π. R. was even reprimanded.

Ill VELE SSJH1 __\j ' «ELPASFP BY CT.N'TKAf, PRESS ASSOCIATION CHAPTER TWENTV-ONE ι "I'M GLAD you got down this | murmr.g. ' E\ · told Joel. "I want to gel up to tlH' schoolhouse. One of the mountain men is going to re pair the mot', and I ought to be up there to see that lie does it prop erly.'1 "I tell you what let's do," Joel suggested. "Let's drive up in my c ar. and then stop for yours after wards.'' "Are you sure you can spare the 1 time?" said Eve. "Time is plentiful with me now adays," Joel laughed. "Besides, I'm j supposed to hi· on my vacation. ' "1 think it would be fun," Eve said. "But we can't get back ir. time for lunch. ' ■Then we'll have lunch at my place · if you'll put up with scram bled egg lunches two days in suc cession " "No. I have a better idea!" Eve said. She turned to her mother. "Darling, now about fixing up a picnic snack? We can eat it while . sit and watch the man mend the ι root." "Of course I can fix up some- | thing, ' sai i "'r.s. Allgood. She went j bustling off toward the house, call- j ing back "I've some ham fori sandwiches, and it won't take any ] time at all to hard-boil some eggs. ' "Put in some of those dill pickles, too," Eve said. "Most men like pickles." ! "I'll do that," Mrs. Allgood said, j "And some of my watermelon rind preserves." "Thanks, darling," Eve said. "That'll be grand." Joel watched her. What a vital person she was he thought. So eager, so full of interest. She was one of those rare people who arc able to make a picnic lunch sound like the most thrilling and exciting thing in all the world. "You do like pickles, don't you, Joel?" Eve asked. "Dote on 'em!" said Joel. "You sit here and have a smoke, ' Eve said, 'while I go get into some thing besides these slacks." She laughed softly. "The mountain women disapprove of women wear ing pants. 1 won't be gone long." Less than half an hour later they were on their way to the school house. The lunch Mrs Allgood had prepared for them was neatly packed in the basket, and the bas ket carefully tucked, down between them to keep it from bouncing bout too much. It certainly seems to me to be an îiwfi.lly out-of-the-way place for a ? hoolhouse," Joel remarked, as he 'cored his car along an ex tremely narrow road—one that was nothing more nor less than a shelf cut into a mountainside. "How do your pupils ever iind it?" "They find it all right," Eve re plied. "They like to come, too. They come up trails and down trails and mountaineers have lived so long in isolated places they know trails and short cuts you and J would never even suspect, existed." "How did you ever come to know about the teaching job?" "Oh. a state organization of women was responsible. They knew my dad, and how interested he was in having everyone in the state ed ucated. ' She shrugged. "So it was handed me on a silver platter, so to speak ' "1 suppose the mountaineers built the schoolhouse themselves," said Joel. "Yes, they did. . . . They loved doing it, and it s one of them who is f;oing to make repairs today." K\v watched the expert manner in which Joel managed the car, and liked the strong, slender brown ness of his hands. She also liked the dark good looks that were Joel's a darkness that contrasted so strikingly with his cousin's blondness. Not good looking in the same way Bill Latham was, she 'hought. And maybe not at all good looking in the opinion of oth ers. But she liked Joel's looks. Strong, virile—thoroughly mascu line. "Bill Latham wants to see the school also. I told him he might describe it in one of his stories, and give us some free publicity." ί "Did ha like the idea?" Joel ' ,sked. i "Yes, he seemed to. . . . After ; all. his nooks and stories are read , by a lot of people, and reference to i the Sunset school might arouse I some interest. People might even ! send in some contributions. We j could certainly us: them—as who couldn't!" j "Maybe I can help also," said ' Joel. ι "That would be sweet of you," j Eve said. "But how do you mean?" "1 mean financially. Down in the Randall mills we have a fund—a ! little cash we keep in reserve to I give to worthy causes." I You mean you really think my ι school is a worthy cause?" "So far it sounds like one," said j Joel. "Certainly a cause that inter I est.s you so sincerely MUST be h good one." "Thank you, Joel. That's nn aw fully nice thing to say.'' Eve leaned back, went on talking about the school. "And e do so want a piano," she said. "I'm terribly in terested in trying to'eatch some of the mountain tunes, set them to music—I mean, write them down. And they are so darned elusive." "You play?" "I used to. But that was when piano was just another piece of furniture, and not a luxury." "I think you might be able to get a piano all right," said Joel. "Any way, I'm going to keep your school in mind. ..." He slowed down a bit. "Which vay from here?" "Turn down there where the brook crosses the road," Eve di rected. "The road we take is little more than a trail, but wide enough for a car. . . . Anyway, I've driven mine along it." "Without landing in a garden?" "Yes," said Eve. "I do hope your garden wasn't damaged beyond re pair." "It'll be all right after a bit of hoeing and spading," said Joel. "! got your car out of the collante early this morning, and left Bill di rections for shining it up." "I can't seem to picture Bill La tham shining a car!" "No?" said Joel. "But you can picture m? doing it, can't you?" "As a matter of fact, Joel, I can," said Eve. "You're the sort of person who's delightfully capable. I mean, Τ think of you as the sort of person who takes hold- goes after things, gets them done right on the dot." "And Bill?" "He gets them done also," said Eve. "But I think he considers a lot of the things he does inconse quential, and that his thoughts are always wandering off to what he wants to do." Joel laughed.
