With Open Mind

Next evening, when Sammy
steps out of the locker room, a car
is waiting for him with the door
open, so he hops in, figuring it’s
just another dame what’ll give
him a' lift to his dorm. But no
sooner is he in the car when steel
handcuffs are flipped on him and
he is soon tied hand and foot
Next thing Sammy knows he is _
taken for a ride, for quite a while,
and Delie (who of course is the
ajpductressj don’t say a word, she
just keeps driving. Finally Delie
stops the car five hours later and
leads Sammy into a room in a
small Philadelphia- hotel. Delie
shoyes Sammy in the 'corner of
the room and takes off—back to
State.
A week later Delie drives
down to see Sammy again. Sam
. my is pretty weak by now
(what with no food and water
for a week) so Delie unties him
and gives him a hoagy. He gulps
it and then asks Delie what's up.
“Well, Sammy,” Delie. says, “It’s
like this. You’ve been here a week
.now. We played the big game
with Michigan and lost, so you’re
kicked off the team and, of course,
without that money, - you can’t
keep in school.”
She throws Sammy, another
hoagy.
“So don’t worry,” Del i _e re
assures him. “I’ve got everything
fixed—l got you signed up with
a pro team. After all, Sammy,
only a square plays for kicks any
more—it’s the money that counts.
So what do you say?”
Sammy shakes his head yes
and smiles. Delie tosses him
another hoagy.
“One thing, though, Sammy.
You’ll have to get your hair cut.
Your crew cut has -grown long
while you were here. Who ever
heard of a strong guy with long
hair?”

But then, Lo, the sinister hand of
fate, oft these days seen at such

he realizes—she is a member of
the Party of the State.
“Oh, be some other party," 1

guise to a costume party being
given by the Party of the State.
While there he see? Juliet and
