I'm running it, not be-cause I'm jumble-braine- d enough to think it proves anything, but because it's an interesting yarn. If you find any moral or message in it well, remember you're strictly on your own. . . . In December of 1947, a strike was called in a textile plant in New England, and when the picket lines first appeared everybody thought they were only part of the usual bluff and bluster that went with contract-renew-time. But as the days added up to weeks and the weeks to months, the townspeople began to worry. The strike, as far as anyone could make out, had nothing to do with wages and work-ing conditions, but seemed to be based on the in-ability of labor and manage-ment to sit at the same table without throw-ing four - letter words at each up from salesman to plant presi-dent and Murphy was organizing the workers. One day, as the strike was go-ing into its fourth month, the textile man got a note from old schoolteacher. "Dear Albert," it read, "I haven't seen you in al-most 40 years, and I'd appreciate it if you would come by the schoolhouse at 10. Sincerely, Anne Peck." Hanson chuckled at the precise, schoolmarmish handwriting, but he remembered the old lady kindly, and so on Saturday he got up early and drove the 60 miles to his home town. The schoolhouse looked much as he remembered it, and so did the room inside with its neat rows of desks. But the thing that hit him right in the nostalgia was the sight of Miss Peck herself, still sitting behind her desk on the raised plat-form in front of the blackboard. "It's been a long time, Albert," she said. "Not so long as I thought," said her old pupil. "Let's see. Seems I used to sit right over there." He walked to a desk near the window and wedged his bulk into the seat. "That's right," said Miss Peck. "Helen Brennon used to sit in front of you and Burt Murphy had the desk on your right. Now, just ex-cuse me until I finish correcting this paper." othrr. Albert Biy Rose Hanson, presi-dent of the textile company,, had one meeting with Burt Murphy, re-cently elected head of the union, but after a few minutes of invective and both men had stomped out and from then on had refused to talk to each other except through local headlines. And when a national labor relations man had offered his services as mediator, he had been told to peddle his pa-pers elsewhere. TO A FEW insiders, however, the animosity between Hanson and MUrphy was nothing new; in fact, it had been going on since they were kids in a village 60 miles north of the mill town. They had competed for the same position on the school baseball team (Albert had gotten it), and pulled the pigtails of the same junior miss (Burt had mar-ried her). And they had continued to it during the years when Hanson was fighting his way FIVE MINUTES later, Burt Mur-phy walked in. There was a grin on his face, but when he saw the tex-tile man he stopped smiling. "I'm glad you got my note and could come," said Miss Peck. "Do you remember where you used to sit?" "Whafs this all about!"' asked the union boss. The old lady looked at him over her glasses. "If you'll take your seat," she said, "the class will begin." Murphy, to humor her, sat down! next to Hanson. "Things haven't changed much, have they?" said Miss Peck pleas- -' antly. "You're still throwing spit-bal- ls at each other, only now they hurt a lot more than they used to.1 Do you remember how it was with! you two in the old days? Most of; the time you were pretty good friends, but every now and then you'd get into an argument andj make so much noise that none of the other pupils could do any work: "And when you did, I'd just stopi the class, make you stand up, and tell you to go outside and not come, back until you had straightened things out. Sometimes you'd go out in the woods and settle it with your fists, and other times you'd go down to the brook, sit on the bank and talk it out, but you'd always come back smiling. Stand up, you two." The two men got to their feet and walked out of the room. "You heard what the teacher said," said the labor leader. "Do we go into the woods and slug it out?" "You always had a pretty good left," said the textile boss. "How about letting a conciliation board settle our argument?" "Fair enough," said Murphy, "but I still want to play first base." ' "All right, if you'll keep away from Helen Brennon." "Seeing as how she's my wife," said Murphy, "that's going to be tough. But if you're still stuck on the girl, drop around tonight and I'll get her to fry up an extra chop." Then the two men walked back into the schoolhouse to report.

He is still wrestling and boxing matches and keeping busy one way or another. What a harvest a Dempsey could reap to-day as much as he wanted to car-ry away. Looking Back at Some Bowls Taking a fairly long look for-ward, it was Bud Wilkinson's Okla-homa Sooners who proved to be the top of all bowl entries. Oklahoma deserved equal rating with Notre Dame and Army this last fall and crushing L.S.U., 35 to 0, confirmed its high ranking promotion. For after all. L.S.U. had whipped North Carolina, Rice and Tulane, three conference champions. I "ix S Si j place for nice peo-ple. The real fight-er is a street fight-er because he likes to fight. He likes brawls. From the street he moves to some small boxing club and if he is good, he begins to Grantland move up. Rice "They have killed off the small-er clubs today. There is no place for the street fighter to go, since he isn't ready for the bigger clubs. "I don't think," Jack said "that you and I are going to see another good heavyweight. It will be many years before another good one comes along. They seem to be getting worse in place of getting better. "When I came up there were a Jot of little clubs where you could fight for $10 or less. But you kept learning something. There were a lot of fellows around then who could either box or punch. In one fight I was knocked down nine times before I won. There are not enough fellows who are hungry today. Most of them can pick up $80 to $90 a week. You can't go hungry on that. I couldn't tell you how many time I never had a dol-lar or even a half dollar. And there were no good jobs around. A hungry fighter will fight twice as hard as one well fed. "The middleweight crop Is good," Jack continued. "They should get some action from LaMotta, Graziano, Villemain, Robinson and several others. This Is a pretty fair division. But when you talk about heavy-weights you are seemingly talk-ing about an entirely differ-ent group of fighters. They won't train and they won't learn. They get punch drunk before they learn how to fight. It's a funny situation. There are supposed to be 2,500.000,000 ' people in the world. If there were Just one good heavy-weight in this bunch of people he could make $1,000,000 easy. But there isn't a heavyweight fighter not a rood one In the lot. Joe Louis is too old and Ezzard Charles Is too small and too careful." Oklahoma starts 1950 with 21 straight. But the Sooners lose more than a few stars, includ-ing some high grade backs and star linemen, so Wilkinson can hardly expect to keep his 1949 pace. Just when the West coast is go-ing to break up Midwest domination is anybody's hazy guess. It will be interesting to see whether the Big Ten and the Far West will renew the fading five-yea- r contract on the same basis. It is well known that the Far West wants only the two champions to meet every year. The Big Ten still wants the three-yea- r clause inserted. The contract has another year to run. One of the original ideas of the Big Ten entry into the bowl list was to prevent the South from cleaning up at the Rose Bowl year after year. This idea failed to work on New Year's day when North Carolina, L.S.U., Rice and Ken-tucky all took away large bags packed with gold. North Carolina carried home over $120,000. Ohio State and California got little mon-ey comparatively. The Giants of 1950 Being a smart baseball man, Leo Durocher is indulging himself in no idle dreams about his pitch-ing selection for the next world series. Not with the Dodgers, Cardinals, Phillies and Braves bar-ring the road. "We've lost a little of our punch," Leo says, "but after all, the Giants were not so hot when they were breaking all past home run rec-ords. We'll have a much stronger defense." The Fiction MAIL RIDER Corner rying them rapidly down stream. Eben did all he could to help the noble beast in its fight to reach the opposite shore. He was begin-ning to think he had underesti-mated the strength of the current, when they struck a sandbar. The horse floundered, nearly lost its footing, then gripped hard and held. Eben breathed a sigh of re-lief. After a momentary pause he urged the beast toward the west bank. Ten feet from his goal he drew rein sharply. A loose stone had come tumbling down from the high bank. Eben sat very still, his heart pounding. A feathered bonnet showed above the embankment. He tried frantically to get his mount toward the east bank, but the river sheared off there; the strength of the current was against him. The Indians were running along the bank, howling and screaming their triumph. In an-other moment he'd be swept against the high west bank and they'd be upon him. Remembering Col. Albee'i in structions, Eben unwrapped the leather mail pouch, gripped it tight-ly and flung himself from the back of the floundering horse. Instantly water swept over his head. He swam as long and as far as he could beneath the surface. Then he bobbed into view and a sense of dismay sent his heart downward. He was within three feet of the west bank. A leering Indian was reaching out toward him. Dimly, as he went under again, Eben heard a chorus of wild shouts. He was far below the spot where the Indian had stood, but equally as close to the bank. To his amazement there were two soldiers standing there yelling and gesticulating. One of them was Gen. Newton. The sound of gunfire came - from upriver, "Thought you might have seen their smoke signal and realized they had sighted us," Gen. Newton was saying. "Figured Bonney would be up to something, so I led a detachment out to meet you." Eben sank to the ground. It was good to rest YOUNG EBEN CLIFFORD drew and studied the broad val-ley of the Hoosick at his feet. An hour ago he had abandoned the trail made by his predecessors on their ride from Bennington to Al-bany, and skirted the western shoulder of Mount Anthony. If were waits- ' ing to ambush -- Minute him, Eben felt 3 Fiction sure tney wuld I choose the Hoo sick. It offered a means of escape, should the mail rider by any chance be accompa-nied by an escort. Eben felt once more of the leather pouch that was tied behind the sad-dle. Contained therein was a dis-patch of the utmost importance for Gen. Newton at Albany. Col. Albee of the Bennington garrison had called Eben aside that morning. "No one is supposed to know you're carrying the papers, Eben. An escort would only excite suspi-cion. You must go alone. There is, of course, the possibility that Bon-ney, the white renegade, and his Indian cutthroats, have learned what I'm up to. In any event, if you're attacked, destroy the pa-pers." He sat for a long time study-ing the valley without moving. A curious sense of excitement stirred his blood. Without know-ing why, he sensed danger. A minute later ' he glimpsed a column of smoke rising from the summit of a hill across tbe valley. A signal fire! They had sighted him. Eben sucked in his breath. Well, his chances of getting through were pretty slim now. There was """iifliifrfUMH-- H""- " .irf..x,lyJ,A.,w,j Be kept to the high ground for an hour, watching the smoke signal. only one ford in the Hoosick that was accessible at this time of year. They'd never let him cross it. The sensible thing to do was turn back and insist upon an escort. A thin smile played across his lips. Sensible, but not advisable. Eben explored the river for half a mile in both directions, then urged his mount into the stream.
