The Navy gained a second or two, for the pass was really to the left, and again Darrin had the pigskin clutched tightly as he started to ran and deceive. Again Dan and the others of the interference sustained their idol and champion. Dave went soon to earth, but he had forced the ball another six yards! "Darry oh, Darry!" "One more play and over the line!"
Dalzell are restored to full duty and privileges. That is all, gentlemen." Thus dismissed, Dave and Dan could not, without impertinence, remain longer in the room. There was wild joy in the second class when it was found that the class leaders, Darrin and Dalzell, had escaped from the worst scrape they had been in at Annapolis.
"But you don't have to, Dan! A fellow's roommate doesn't have to observe a Coventry." "If it comes to Coventry," muttered Dalzell, "I shall invite it by speaking to Jetson, too." Dave Darrin was aghast. He hadn't contemplated dragging Dan into such a scrape. "There's formation now," announced Dan. Out in front of the entrance, and along the terrace the many sections were falling in.
Then he pulled his toboggan cap well down over his ears and neck and donned his mittens. "There are only two snow shovels," announced Dick. "What are the rest of you going to use?" "Here's the fire shovel," answered Greg, producing it. "That will be good enough for me." "Get the door open, Dave," called Dick. Darrin unbarred the door, trying to swing it open.
"In effect, you are accusing an officer of the United States Navy of treason!" "That is the very crime of which I suspect him, sir," Dave answered, bluntly. "Are you sure that your personal animosity has no part in that suspicion?" "No dislike for a brother officer could induce me to charge him falsely," Dave answered simply. "I beg your pardon, Darrin!" exclaimed Trent in sincere regret.
No, no; what we want, if possible, is some plan that will bring the whole student body together, all differences forgotten and with the sole purpose of getting up the best eleven that Gridley can possibly send out against the world." "Well, we are willing," remarked Darrin grimly. "No! No, we're not," objected Hazelton fiercely.
"See if the doctor is in," directed Darrin. The physician was at home, and not engaged. So Dave and the driver carried Dan into the medical man's office. "Too bad!" murmured the physician. "Intoxicated, eh? "No, sir," responded Dave quietly, "and that's one of the things I wish you to note positively, so that you can be prepared to certify if necessary.
If I go stale, you have Darrin to fall back on, and he's as baffling a pitcher as I can hope to be. And Ripley is a wonder." "He would be," nodded Mr. Luce, sadly, "if he were a better base runner at the same time." It seemed as though nothing else could be talked of in Gridley but the opening game.
No sooner had Dave Darrin halted for an instant, when he broke into a whirlwind of sprinting speed. Dan Dalzell tried to keep up with him, but found it impossible. "Good old Darry!" yelled a hoarse voice from one of the grandstands. "That's the way you'll go around the end to-day!" Some of the other Navy players were kicking a ball back and forth.
Whenever a wealthy Mexican hereabouts has had an enemy that he wanted 'removed, he has always been able to accomplish his wish with the aid of this same fellow, Cosetta." "Cosetta is in town to-day," Dave remarked. "Are you sure of that?" "I saw him here," Darrin replied, quietly. "Then you must have been the officer in command of last night's landing party."
