Coker, whose large affairs in South Carolina needed overseeing, kindly, seam-faced Daniel Calhoun ("Uncle Dan") Roper's resignation was at last announced. Instantly a Big Business chorus arose led by President George H. Davis of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, seeking to head off the Hopkins appointment.

...that Curwen is in eligible at the moment, Ulen need have no worries about these men, nor will he brood about his divers, headed by Captain Rusty Greenhood. The Crimson team's leader this year will be untouchable most of the season, the only possible snag for him being Dan Endweiss of down New Haven way.
