"But this Dick Thorpe is making Army win" smiled Brenda

"I hate him," was Rosalle's short rojoinder.

"Do you know him?“

"No and I don't want to.... 01 Her voice rose to a shout. "He's going to make il! Run, Dick! RUN!" and she joined the wild cheering on, hall under arm, Therpa crossed the inat marker to win tho game for Army.

"And you wanted Navy to win," tenned Brenda. "And you hata Dick Thorpe. Well maybe you'll meat him tonight at the Victory colobra- tlod."

"I don't want to meet him, I told you I hats him." With a short laugh, Itonnile alipped on her gloves and turned to the other girls in the

That night, an tho Cudots paraded Into the brilliantly lighted Night Club chosen for their party, they were greeted by the Army nong, sung by a group of Navy mou a ready assembled there. As the Inst note sounded Dick turned to ha ba companions. "Okay, fellows," whispered, "now lata give them thoir" a voice rang out in "Anchors Aweigh," his companiosa humming in harmony as he car ried the song gloriously to its closs. Moralis, sitting at the table nonr by, turned to Brenda with a wry smile. The olderly man and woman with them exchanged glances.

"I don't." answered Rosalia flatly. "You don't like Dick Thorpe?" he questioned in murpris.

"No, M. Schmidt," she replied evenly. "I hate him. He's no com celtod,"

"You bate Dick Thurpo? Schmidt sputtered "the greatest halfback in the whole the finest football player that ever the nicest - " and before she roailred what he was doing, he summoned Dick to thair tablo.

"You, I graduate next spring. But how did you know? Have you seen me play before?"

"Oh, often."

The musid ended and they maua- fered out to a balcony,
