APPLAUSE 38 Cy R. H. WILKINSON ©. 1833, tell Syndicate. ~WNU Service HEN Frank Storey graduat- ed from Maplewood high school and entered Brewster college, he had but one pur- pose In mind: Football, Ncholastie standing meant nothing. Culture meant nothing. Fraternities meant nothing. Coeds meant nothing. He had but a single vision: To pick the ball on Brewster's five-yard line 95 yards to the opposing with the roar and applause He The up and gonl line, of H0.000 spectators in his ears. wanted this more than anything. roaring applause of the crowds, Because of these things Frank had a lot to learn. First, he discovered that he couldn't éven play on the football team unless he was up in his studies, Second, he wouldn't ered for the varsity year. Third, he had a lot of competition— there were some 200 huskies out to make the team, and only about 60 to be chosen. Fourth, he had to possess unusual strength, skill and ability In order to receive the plandits of the crowds, It wasn't like back In Maplewood, There he had been a star. The star. There were only 15 Pinyers on the whole team. And during a game, the stands cheered him avery time he picked op the ball. The cheers were music to his ears.

He wasn't to this. He was used to hearing hundreds of spectators bellow his name after such a play. Here thousands were silent. It an nerved him. The next play went to him and he fumbled. The opposition recovered, and for the first time In his life Frank heard himself being razzed by an un- gracious crowd, Two more plays and the game ended, Frank walked from the fleld sick at heart, utterly dejected, low In spirits. Back in his room he flung himself on his bed and cried. He knew that Coach Prince give him another chance that season. * > » lent wasn't anythi ng to get about, em were already i sod wouldn't During the winter that followed and the next summer Frank Storey strug. gled to overcome the thing that had lost him his great opportunity, Without a thought of giving up, more determined than ever to attain the goal he had aimed at when first coming to college, Frank reported for early train. ing and when the squad trotted out on the field for the first game of the sea- son--his last season-—Frank was with them, fle tried not to listen for ¢la'm of the crowds. He tried to sit through the game without having a desire to rush ap te Coach Prince and plead for a chance to show what he could do, The season progressed with Brew. ster piling up victory after victory. It began to look as If they were go ing to wind up the season without a single defeat. And It began to look as If Frank Storey was going to wind up his col fege fouthall without being given an- other opportunity to play, Frank tried to grin and bear it. And yet he knew that If the season ended without his chance heing of- fered, he'd never finish the college the ae He'd quit, and go to digging ditches somewhere, a game, the big game, with Pencost, its greatest rival, Frank was still on the substitute list. He was moody and morose as he sat there with the other subs, watch- ing the varsity go into action. And yet, secretly, he wanted Brew- ster to win. couldn't help wanting her to win, But from the start It.began to look as If Pencost was golng to smash Brewster's record, They managed to roll up six points in the first quarter and another six In the second. Both attempts to kick the goal failed. The third period netted neither team a tally, but the Brewster outfit was looking rather sick. Man after man had either limped or been carried from the fleld. It looked as If Pencost was out for vengeance, It was about the middle of the last quarter when Coach Prince called Frank's name, At first Frank could scarcely ileve his ears. “Listen, Storey,” the coach sald, “Partridge, who's now playing left half Is about shot. I've got to take him out and there's no one else to put in but you. It's your chance, “0.

Frank was hand ed the ball in the next three plays and each time he plunged nearer and nearer the goal line, The screech of the referee's whistle sounded in his ear Just as he passed over the chalk, bringing Brewster to victory. And this time, as Frank turned and trotted back down the field, he heard them shout his name: “Storey! Storey Storey!

Shoes Are Going Higher and Higher Up the Instep With shoes going higher and higher the matter of trim fit has become a real problem. The whole beauty of this extreme type of shoe lies in the perfect molded look over the instep and around the ankle, To meet this situation designers have resorted to various expedients, One exceedingly smart black suede ghoe, perfectly plain and mounting well up on the ankle has narrow elas tic insets on the side, after the man ner of the old Congress gaiters. When the shoe is pulled on it fits like a glove and Is exceedingly flattering to the foot, The side-lacing oxford is another ex pedient which combines utility with chic, Velvet Fancies Velvet makes many fashionable fan eles In the new winter mode.

The model pictured Is especially likable since it accents two outstanding trim- ming trends. The one is the fur jacket top which Is carried out to a nicety in this instance. The other is the fur epaulet effects which are so widely exploited as a means of arriving at the wide shoulder silhouette which fashion demands at present, The model pletured is of gray wool with fur of matching gray kidskin.

But it Is strangely silent about the man who once “found the path” for Fremont and who probably knew more obscure corners of the Great West than any other man of his time, not even ex- cepting such worthies as Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger.
