"It wasn't Merriwell's fault that the freshies didn't win," said Bob Collingwood to Paul Pierson as they were riding back to New Haven on the train that night. "Not a bit of it," agreed Pierson. "I was expecting a great deal of Merriwell, but I believe he is a better man than I thought he could be." "Then you have arrived at the conclusion that he is fast enough for the regular team?"
"Two freshies on the stone fence, Holden," said one of the sophomores. "We can't allow that, you know." At this Frank Holden, the leader of the sophomore class, laughed. "Too bad, fellows, but they've got you. Term doesn't begin until to-morrow and they can sit where they please until twelve o'clock midnight.
"We had better enter a conspiracy to spend our spare time rushing freshies," proposed Helen. "When they are with us they will be out of mischief." "First catch your hare," advised Muriel. "Maybe the freshies would not take kindly to the continuous round of pleasure we arranged for them. I don't believe there is any one infallible method of winning them over."
Do you want to claim the Grand Central Station?" This set Margie back in her seat and presently all the "freshies" had been given their ratings. A few very sharp warnings were administered, and that a great deal of cramming would have to be done by some before the mid-year exams, to take place early in January, was made especially plain by the dean.
Of course they'll be delighted to see us and all that; but there's no burning need for us and we needn't jump any jobs to report in time to put the brands on the Freshmen and rescue them from the noisome Alfalfa Delts and Sigh Whoops because there isn't going to be any rescuing this fall. They've had an agreement at Siwash. They're going to approach the Freshies under strict rules. No parties.
"Some modest little ambition," murmured Evangeline Heppler. "Um-m! Well, rather!" agreed Adelaide Forman. "How do you propose to make it happen, Les?" "Leave that to me. I'm not prepared to tell you yet. I only know that it has to happen. It will give us a good hold on the freshies." Leslie's loose-lipped mouth tightened perceptibly. "We'll have to do some clever electioneering.
"Leslie is precisely right about that," Natalie Weyman hastened to agree. "We shall have to be very careful what we do this year. I think that a little missionary work among the freshies would be a good thing for all of us. Later on we can drop them if they grow to be too much of a bore." "They will take care of themselves as they get used to college," predicted Leslie.
"Shirley is a very sweet name and I have always loved it," replied Jane frankly. "But my dear young lady, we must not quarrel. We shall never get acquainted that way." "Oh no, the juniors may do all the quarreling. We freshies must just turn the other cheek of course.
"I am not in favor of such extravagance. It will cost us enough to have sandwiches, salads, relishes and sweets. Then there's coffee, chocolate, and imported ginger ale besides. I am not going to spend my whole month's allowance on a feed for those greenies." "If we expect to make an impression on the freshies we ought to do things in good style," Dulcie hotly contested.
I would have wired you, Leila, but was not sure that you would be back at Hamilton so early. We are here a week earlier than last year. We wanted to be at home as long as we could, but we felt that, as sophomores, we ought to come back earlier to help the freshies. We had such a lonesome time on our freshman appearance at Hamilton, you know." "Yes, I know," returned Leila significantly.
