The weather was so bad that astronomical people said that the sun had got spots upon it or had gone wrong somehow; at any rate we hardly ever saw it, and we lived in a deluge of rain. The Torpids had to be postponed, nearly every footer match was scratched, and the people who had been talking about water-famines for the last two years held their peace.
I want to see this house at the top of the tree again: cock-house at cricket, cock-house at footer, with a Balliol Scholar in it, and a school racquet-player. And now Dumbleton is going to bring in a little champagne. We'll drink high health and fellowship to the Manor and the Hill!" His face broke into the smile his form knew so well; he sat down, as the house roared its welcome to a friend.
They get their firsts in Science little measly pups from Board Schools who don't clean their teeth and there are one or two men who can row a bit and play footer a bit and play cricket a bit I grant you all that but they aren't clever not what I call clever." Olva waited for the development of Lawrence's brain. "Now at St. Martin's they'll talk.
Do you know, I actually look forward to Corps parade day." "The same with me. I am fed to death with footer." "Still we are having a jolly good time off the field." "Are we?" "Oh, yes; we are prefects; we haven't got to do any work, and it's interesting coaching the kids." Foster looked dubiously at him. He had no side to coach. He also had to do some work for his Sandhurst exam. next term.
Jack Ward stopped driving about with Bunny Langham, and began to play footer, and Collier actually went down to the river every afternoon. Physical incapability prevented him from rowing well, but he persuaded several other men, who did not suffer as he did, to go through the same drudgery, and for self-sacrifice I thought he was hard to beat, because he was quite a comical sight in a boat.
Did you send the team for tomorrow up to the sporter? I wonder what sort of a lot the Town are bringing." "About not giving Barry his footer colours?" Clowes was reading the paper. "Giving whom?" he asked. "Barry. Can't you listen?" "Giving him what?" "Footer colours." "What about them?" Trevor sprang at the paper, and tore it away from him. After which he sat on the fragments.
"All right," said Cotton; "shut up, confound you! I'll take you." "Three quid Biffen's are not cock-house at 'footer." "Done," said Cotton, unwillingly pulling out his note-book; "and straight, Todd, I shall expect you to pay if you lose." "Oh, shut up, Cotton, you cad! I shall pay if I lose, man. What do you want to keep on insulting me like that for?" "Steady, Gus.
It was the first game after the summer holidays, and everyone felt rather flabby. At half-time the great man burst out: "I have played football for twenty-five years, I coached Oxford teams and Gloucestershire teams, led an English scrum, and for fifteen years I have taught footer here, but never saw I such a display! Shirking, the whole lot of you! Get your shoulders down and shove.
Fred got a second, and considering that he had been playing footer and cricket for the 'Varsity so much, everybody thought that he had done most thoroughly well. Cliborough was so satisfied with him that he was offered a mastership at once, which was a stroke of luck both for Fred and the school.
Have to look after my digestion. I remember, three years ago, when Wain's won the footer cup, we got up and fed at about two in the morning. All sorts of luxuries. Sardines on sugar-biscuits. I've got the taste in my mouth still. Do you remember Macpherson? Left a couple of years ago. His food ran out, so he spread brown-boot polish on bread, and ate that. Got through a slice, too. Wonderful chap!
