CHAPTER IX
TJTLL MENTOR climbed the
stairs to the editorial rooms of
the Clarion. He asked for Pat
Hurly and was shown a wisp of
a man with flaming red hair.
“My name's Mentor Mr. Hur-
ly."
“Mentor?" He frowned “Oh
yes. I’ve got it now. Buck Mentor.
You’re his son?"
“Yes. sir."
“Good man. Buck. Used to wor-
ship him when I was a kid. Well
what is it you want of me?"
Bill said earnestly “I heard you
mention Buck one night in the j
stadium. You said West would
have won if Buck’d been coach-
ing."
“Or anyone else but that idiot
Landis’’ Hurly growled. “Skelton
and Peskin must have picked him
up at a bargain counter. I was
just urging those gentlemen in my
column to go out this time and
hire some real brains."
“Buck’s got real brains” Bill
said.
Hurly straightened in his chair.
“So that’s w’hy you’re here? Want
me to push your dad for the
job ..." He scraped his red
bristles. “You're right about Burk
Mentor’s brains but a coach
should also have legs.”
Bill talked then as he’d never
talked before. He told Hurly
about the movies about Buck’s
operation how easy it would be
to finish the season how the team
W’ould work for Buck.
For answer Hurly ripped the
copy from his typewriter. “Get
a load of tonight's Clarion Men-
tor. Now scram out of here and
let me get to work!"
1JILL was waiting on the porch
when the Clarion arrived. He
unfolded it with shaking fingers
and turned to Hurly’s column.
It began “WHY NOT TRY
MENTOR?" And then: “This col-
umn doesn't presume to dictate to
the board. It does howrver feel
that Buck Mentor a local man.
should be among those considered.
West-siders. why not call the
president of the board and tell
him what YOU think of Mentor?"
Bill dashed into the house.
“Hey Buck get a load of this!”
Buck Mentor read slowly. When
he had finished he said. “How
much did you have to do wi th 11
this. Bill?" 1]
The People Speak;
Buck Tells Board
Members His Plans
■-—■
“I talked to Hurly this morn-
ing.” Bill admitted.
“Why. Bill? You know’ what
was in that letter you mailed.”
Bill gulped. “Buck I—I didn’t
mail your letter.”
“You’d better tell me why. Bill.
You've done a rather serious
thing.”
Bill said stubbornly “Buck. 1
couldn't let you do it not when
there’s even a small chance of
your landing the job at West.
Helen and I worked out a plan
last night and ...”
Buck listened shaking his head.
“You kids sort of took things into
your own hands. May I ask how
you squared yourself with Helen?”
Blushing Bill explained about
Dot.
Buck said gently “Bill you’ve
been all kinds of a fool. You’ve
hurt Helen and you’ve hurt me.
Right now we re in a serious jam
because you didn't mail that let-
ter. But Bill I’d rather have
things as they are. than the way
I thought they u’ere. We’ll vork
things out some way. Right Bui?”
• • •
U ELEN WELCH came to the
door after supper. Someone
was trying to reach Buck on the
telephone. Bill went over to take
the message. When he returned
his voice shook with excitement.
“That was J. Conrad Skelton
Buck. Hi's been swamped with
calls ever since the Clarion hit the
street. He wonders”—Bill imi-
tated Skelton’s pompous tones—“if
you’d care to talk to the board
tonight?”
Buck grinned. “Pay Mr. Skel-
ton my compliments. Bill and tell
him I shall be delighted.”
Bill with projector and films
under his arm. w as at the school
a half hour before meeting time.
He had everything set up when
the first member appeared. He
was good-natured Jim Bansen and
he said smilingly “Bank night
Bill?”
Julius Peskin arrived and
scowled at Bill. “What do you '
mean Mentor sending your friend
Peters to work for you? I—I’ve j
a good notion to . . .”
“You already have Mr. Peskin.”
Peskin sat dowm fuming and
was joined by two members Bill
didn’t know’. Presently Skelton;
arrived.
Using canes. Buck entered the
ooard room. His eyes were grave
as he nodded to each member.
'I'm not much of a speaker” he
jegan with a smile. “I’m going to '
et the pictures talk for me. You »
will see the various problems that
confront our team. With your per-
mission I’ll show you how 1 pro-
pose to meet these problems.”
Bill turned off the lights started
the projector. Buck spoke in the
darkness:
“This play was in the Clayton
game. The break-through oc-
curred on the left side of our line.
Notice the position of the tackle
and guard. You can see how sim-
ple it was for the offensive back
; to slice through.”
“By George he's right!” Jim
Bansen exclaimed.
• • •
DILL kept changing the films.
Buck talked on steadily with
quiet confidence and a complete
knowledge of his subject. Bill felt
a thrill of pride run through him.
Buck was sure telling them!
Bill ran the last film turned up
the lights. Jim Bansen and the
two men Bill didn’t know nodded
approval. Skelton blinked impas-
sively. Julius Peskin still scowled.
Skelton was the first to speak:
“Your demonstration. Mentor was
impressive if slightly theatrical.
But the question which inevitably
must occur to each of us is: How
can you in your present condition
coach a football squad?”
Buck said quietly "Bill can be
mv legs for the rest of the season.
He’s taSSiliar with the way I teach
blocking and tackling. He can
show the boys exactly how I want
things done.
“Every man on the team love*
to play football. The fault has
been not with their efforts—
blocking and tackling—but with
timing use of the right play at
the right time. Frankly gentle-
men. West’s football team needs
guidance more than anything else.
I can give them that.
“If you hire me" Buck said.
*T11 have my own legs by next
fall.” He told them about the
doctor in the east.
“Suppose the operation fails?"
Peskin objected. “They most al-
ways do.”
“Then I’ll gladly release you
from your contract" Buck said.
"But it won't fail.”
Again Peskin bent close to
Skelton who said “We should like
to know. Mentor how you expect
to handle a large group of boys
when your own son is constantly
in trouble?”
Buck's fists knotted. “Bill like
anyone else his age is liable to
do foolish things. But I can assure
you that he’s not constantly in
trouble.”
Skelton said “Thank you Men-
tor. I believe that answers all
our questions. Naturally we must
discuss this further. We shall in-
form you as soon as we tove
reached a decision.”
