He shows promise in football and Barney Mack, the coach, takes an interest in him Tom Stone, star player and Ted’s rival for Barb's affections, is antagonistic towards him. Ted. however. is admired by the other students. During vacation he toils in the mill to earn his tuition and prepare for the fall football season.

warned the end They believed him—watch their feet tipping. Ted started the play that way and Pidge hipped back over center for three yards. Back again for two more. The Navy back* began to edge in to back up the line. Ted tried a long, safe pass to Stone which failed by a yard. "Stay back tbeie," Cliflun shouted to his halfbacks. “When you've got 'em guessing, you’ve got 'em licked." Barney always said. Ted punted out on the Navy twelve. Lloyd kicked back —a high floater. Feet were pounding the sod—the goats were bearing down all right—freeze it— Ted felt himself going down in sections-rthe two end* and the center had hit him at once. “How do you like it. fresh guy?” “Like what?" Beat them with your eyes. Ted stalled until his head cleared —some of hi* stomach seemed to have been jarred up there—rough boys in the Navy. If it hadn’t been for that summer in the mill, he would never have survived that one. Ted thought. “Right hack at vou, end." the play went as advertised but was stopped. The end grinned "Where was 1 on that one. fresh guy?” Not a bad bunch of boys m the Navy. • • • • a a Ted left the ball fn midfield when Paden brought his team in “Nice going," Paden said as he ran out. “You looked like an old head in there,” Barney added as they came in to the bench and donned sweat shirt* “Nice going, boys" Ted sat next to Barney, huddled in a blanket; somewhat abashed at his behavior; getting fresh with the Navy. The crowd was cheering the second team —it was the first Ted had thought of the crowd since the kick-off He had been cocky, all right, without knowing it—he felt everything he had said and done out there; it seemed proper. out there It was play, all right; it was a play going on out there on the field; and the best ad libbers won. Ted listened to Barney's comments: Lloyd tips off when he is going to carry. . . .

Certainly, they had seen everything Weren't they experts’ On the tram the next day Ted sat looking through the window During his mill day* a railroad train never went by that he hadn’t wished he was on it. going somewhere anywhere As a New Do- j minion football player he was dea--1 fined tn ifn p'»ntv of train riding; but it was anil frceb and interest- : ing. » |
