I am glad that I added up my expenses, for that eighteen-pence was very useful, it was such a delightfully ridiculous sum to brandish at any one who thought that I was trotting down the road to perdition. During the rest of the term we were very quiet in St. Cuthbert's. I was able to play rugger for the college in nearly every match, for my days in the 'Varsity fifteen had ended.
"He's not the only one who's got that way," said Peterson, gaily, when he had been similarly supplied. "It's a way we've got in the army, It's a way we've got in the navy, It's a way we've got in the 'Varsity." "And so say all of us," finished Rolleston, and holding out his glass to be replenished; "I'll have another, please. Whew, it is hot." "What, the drink?" asked Julia, with a giggle.
This was the famous team on which Donald MacKenzie MacFadyen played and later made the Princeton varsity. Tad Jones was quarterback the first year he came to school. In those days they took to football intuitively without much coaching. You never had to tell Tad Jones a thing more than once. He would think things out for himself. He showed great powers of leadership and good football sense.
'You haven't told me yet what on earth you're doing here, said Mike. 'I thought you were going to the 'Varsity. Why the dickens are you in a bank? Your pater hasn't lost his money, has he? 'No. There is still a tolerable supply of doubloons in the old oak chest. Mine is a painful story. 'It always is, said Mike. 'You are very right, Comrade Jackson. I am the victim of Fate.
They say that years ago he went to a Turkish bath, and after a rare good scraping the man who was scraping him nasty job that! found something which Dirty Dick recognized as a beastly flannel shirt he had lost when he was at the 'Varsity. But only the Fourth Form boys swallow that. Hullo! There's a pal of mine. See you again." He ran off gaily. John walked to the shop where straw hats were sold.
There is so much going on. We may not be in it, but we must be in London to feel that we are helping. They also serve who only stand and stare. Besides I put it to you strawberries are ripe in June. You will never get enough in Cumberland or wherever you are. Not good ones; not the shilling-a-seed kind. Is it wise to go away in July? What about the Varsity match and Gentlemen v. Players?
Robey what he had missed for the 'varsity and a commendable effort to profit by Marvin's teaching, he had soon begun to ease up on his Greek and Latin, which were for him the most difficult of his courses. And now "Uncle Sim" was down on him again, as Steve put it, and on the eve of the Cherry Valley contest he was in a fair way to have trouble with the Office. Mr.
Amy pretended to think that every 'varsity success was a second team victory. "There, that 'varsity fellow has taken the ball across the line, Clint! Isn't that great? How much does that count for the second? Six, doesn't it? My, but your team is certainly playing wonderful football, chum. What I don't understand, though, is the the appearance of satisfaction displayed by the 'varsity, Clint.
I made several gains on the offensive, never missed a signal and punted two or three times when close to our goal line." No less noteworthy is the spirit of a University of Pennsylvania player, who was handicapped during his gridiron career with Penn' by many severe injuries. This man had worked as hard as any one possibly could to make the varsity for three years.
When organization has reached that point where one-third of our wealth-producers must stand idle because denied the privilege of producing the wherewithal to feed and clothe and house themselves, it might be well for 'varsity presidents to apply the soft pedal to their paean of praise and inquire diligently whether it be possible to get entirely too much of a good thing. Too many accept St.
