"Perhaps we may get in a little practice before the people begin to come." Grace hurried through her own dinner as fast as she could, on the eventful Saturday. "I shall be glad when this final game is over, child," exclaimed Mrs. Harlowe anxiously, "I really think you have had more athletics this winter than has been good for you, what with your walking, and skating, dancing, and now basketball."
Oh, yes, it was one of your number who won the basketball championship for the school by making a record jump for the ball, wasn't it?" The whole group lived in the reflected glory of Sahwah the Sunfish. Now, thought Migwan resolutely, they would have something else to be proud about. In the future people would say, "The Winnebagos?
See how the birds enjoy their bath; and you will, too, if you once get into the habit of bathing regularly. Now let us take a good look at this coat and see if we can find out what it is like. The other day I saw some boys playing basketball. They wore short sleeves and short trousers. Four were Indians, and five were white boys, and one was a negro.
Then it was the size of a basketball, and then it swelled enormously and put out spidery metal legs with large splay metal feet on them and alighted and settled gently to the ground. The humming stopped. There were shoutings. Whips cracked. Straining, horn-tossing duryas heaved and dragged something, very deliberately, out from between warehouses under the arches of the grid.
"Perhaps that is because she has walked so little," said Nan, wisely. "Humph!" Amelia Boggs commented, "has she been used to being pushed in a baby carriage?" "Distances are long out in the cattle country. Everybody rides, I guess," Nan observed. "Well," one of the older girls remarked, "she's no material for basketball, or any other team. She can't even run, it seems.
If I don't play better basketball Friday night than I ever have in my life, well, you can walk all over me like dirt." There was a humble ring in Ginny's voice that had surely never sounded there before! But the hard part of Jerry's punishment came when the others, without her, trooped off to the game against South High, the blue and gold colors of Lincoln tied on their arms.
"'Coming events cast their shadows before'" said Anne half dreamily. "Well, I wish they'd stop casting shadows over my little playmates then," laughed Mabel. At this remark Grace made an effort to appear unconcerned. "Are you going to play on the junior basketball team this year, Mabel?" she asked, by way of changing the subject. "I don't know," replied Mabel.
"Oh, yes, Constance Fuller, six, you two girls, and myself. That makes nine. I told Mother about it when I was at home and she gave me the money for it. I'll have it Tuesday night. The new term begins Wednesday. To-morrow I'll go calling and deliver my invitations in the morning. There's a trial basketball game to-morrow afternoon." "When will there be a real game?" asked Anne.
Her eyes roved speculatively from one face to another, then she said suavely, "Come by all means, Miss Dean. It will be quite interesting." "Thank you. I shall be pleased to go with you." Marjorie ignored Mignon's slight hesitation, although she had noted it. "I wonder if you are all as fond of basketball as I," she went on quickly. "It's a splendid game, isn't it?"
The meeting to-day was not for gymnastic exercises, however, but an important subject was to be discussed the Freshman Basketball Team. Also the captain of the team was to be elected. Other club meetings were in full force when the girls arrived, and the great room vibrated with the hum of voices.
