"Take a good shower and a rub now, all of you, scrub included, for there's no telling when I may want one of you scrub lads on the first team. You're doing pretty well," he allowed himself to compliment them. "But there's lots to be done yet. We're only beginning. Morse, come here, I want to talk to you," and captain and coach walked off the gridiron, arm in arm.
Hinton's piping voice sang the signals and the squad, followed by the substitutes, began its journeys up and down the gridiron. Amy joined Clint presently, still lugging his pewter trophy, and the two boys leaned back against the seat behind them and looked on. Clint, when the squad was near enough for him to hear the signal, translated for Amy's benefit, as: "Right half outside of left guard.
At the Washington dinner of the Gridiron Club, probably the best known press club in the world, a dinner at which President Wilson was a guest,-one of the songs sung for his benefit was as follows: "We're camping to-night on the White House grounds Give us a rousing cheer; Our golden flag we hold aloft, of cops we have no fear. Many of the pickets are weary to-night,
Each man is thinking about himself all the time. Hercules could walk right through 'em, and, when they begin to pose, it's mere child's play for him. The only chap that put up any game against us at all was Samson, and I tell you, now that his hair's grown again, he's a demon on the gridiron. But we divided up our force to meet that difficulty.
It was a miserable hour to meet such a death so cold, so comfortless, shivering in my light dress clothes upon this gridiron of torment upon which I was stretched. I tried to brace myself to it, to raise my soul above it, and at the same time, with the lucidity which comes to a perfectly desperate man, I cast round for some possible means of escape. One thing was clear to me.
Hoole that he wished to have a City Club, and asked him to collect one; but, said he, 'Don't let them be patriots. The company were to-day very sensible, well-behaved men." Which, taken in conjunction with the abstemious nature of the Garrick club, would seem to show that the Queen's Arms was an exceedingly decorous house. Concerning the Goose and Gridiron only a few scanty facts have survived.
The skewers thus arranged should be laid either upon the glowing embers, or across the gridiron. "Not a man closed his eyes that night not that the dinner disagreed with them but the mosquitoes!
Every year there were two contests between Brill and Roxley, a rival college located some miles away. One contest was at baseball, and the other football. During the past Fall, Roxley had suffered its second defeat on the gridiron at the hands of Brill. But the Spring previous, its baseball nine had literally "wiped up the diamond" with Brill by a score of 6 to 0.
There is nothing like a good gridiron for rough cooking; a frying-pan is good if you have fat, but without it, the pan is utterly useless.
"Columbia! Columbia the Gem of the Gridiron!" came the eager shouts. And the players filed off the field. That Thanksgiving night Columbia went wild. True, the first snow of the year began sifting down, and the ground was covered with a white mantle; but such a little thing as that could not quench the ardor of those happy fellows.
