However, that does not matter. We'll soon introduce you." Beth smiled. "Thank you," she said drily, "that will be very nice." "I'll bring Fitzkillingham presently; he'll do anything for me. He was one of our set at the 'Varsity. That's the best of going to the 'Varsity. You meet the right kind of people there, people who can help you, you know, if you can get in with them as I did.
The great match is over. By four points 'Varsity holds the championship of the Dominion. "The greatest match ever played on this ground," cries old Black, pushing through the crowd to Campbell, with both hands outstretched. After him comes the Montreal captain. "I congratulate you most heartily," he says, in a voice that breaks in spite of all he can do. "Thanks, old man," says Campbell quietly.
'You have been misinformed, I fear, Sir Alfred. I have not trespassed in your grounds for ah a considerable time. The Head could not resist this thrust. In his unregenerate 'Varsity days he had been a power at the Union, where many a foeman had exposed himself to a verbal counter from him with disastrous results.

But did Stepper write you that Jimsy was 'Varsity Captain this year, and that they beat Berkeley twelve to five? And that Jimsy made both touchdowns?
Joe Swann, the field coach, and Walter Camp were in accord, so we turned down the advice of a lot of the older coaches and gave the Varsity only about five minutes' scrimmage during the week and a half preceding the Princeton game, with the exception of the Bucknell game the Saturday before.

But even then the second was beginning to show possibilities and the first team fellows were forced to work hard for the two touchdowns they secured.
There she saw Walter Haviland, blindfolded and with a rope about his waist. Three other Freshmen were in a similar condition in different parts of the field. Haviland had been intrusted to the tender mercy of Cap. Smith, a 'Varsity man, and Pellams Chase, greatest of all joshers. This was indeed a high honor. Two of the less distinguished members hovered about them, eager to add their services.
