The men were welcomed at the station by a crowd of Harwell fellows who had already arrived, and the Harwell band did its best until the team was driven off to the hotel. There for the first time the men were allowed to see the line-up for the game.
There was much more talk of this sort, some of the Gridley boys insisting that Fordham ought to be compelled to account for the size and seeming age of some of the home players. "We're up against a crooked line-up, or I'll give up," muttered Greg Holmes. "Now, see here, fellows," laughed Captain Dick. "I don't believe in making any fuss beforehand. We'll just go ahead and take what comes to us."
And now, of course, there's a line-up against them. It's in the blood and I don't reckon they can change but the country's changing. I know of one man that's in there now, working in the dark, trying to get the goods but of course, it's not my business to peddle that kind of stuff. I was tickled about the piano, though. The schoolma'am was game.
For the first time there was a trace of feeling in the major's voice. "Because I don't like the line-up on his side of the fence." "That single fact has saved your neck this time, Murdock. Step out of line once more, and nothing will help you. But just so we won't have to worry about that, suppose you ask a few of those questions." "How much of what Kurt fed me is the truth?" Ross blurted out.
Leonard went off to resume his duties, anxious to see every play that came along; for he would not have much time to decide on the line-up of the team, which must afterwards get all the practice possible, in order to do Scranton High justice. O. K. laughed good-naturedly.
The friendship of the Nicaraguan Government and people, therefore, is of great importance to us from both a commercial and a military standpoint. It is likewise of importance to others. Italy undertook to gain Nicaragua's friendship when she joined the Japanese-Nazi line-up. First, she offered scholarships, with all expenses paid, for Nicaraguan students to study fascism in Italy.
Now would come the first line-up, and it would be seen how Yale could buck the crimson. "Signal!" Andy could hear their quarterback yell, and then the rest was swallowed up in a hum of excitement in the songs and cheers with which the students sought to urge on the defenders of the blue. There was a vicious plunge into the line, but the gain was small.
The noise of cheering must have been heard a mile away. From the cadets themselves came some Army yell for which the cheer-master had signaled, but no one heard what it was. The noise continued until the line-up had been effected for the kick for goal. Brayton, flushed with delight, chose to make the kick himself. The pigskin soared, describing a beautiful curve.
He did very well, there, although Miter Hill was too weak in all departments of the game to afford any of her opponents a fair test. Toward the last the contest degenerated into more or less of a farce, Miter Hill tuckered and played out, and Brimfield, with a line-up of third and fourth substitutes, fumbling and mixing signals and running around like a hen with her head off!
With the exception of a few additional delegates composed of high-ranking Texcocan and Genoese political and scientific heads, the line-up at the end of forty years was the same as ten years earlier except for the absence of Jerry Kennedy. Extra tables had been set up, and chairs to accommodate the added numbers.
