"Oh, you make me " began Jetson, but Midshipman Hepson cut him short with: "If you can't keep silence when you've nothing to say, your absence from the field will be considered a favor to the whole squad." Jetson scowled, but said nothing more. Neither did he offer to retire from the field. "Jetson has always been a kicker and a trouble mosquito," whispered Dan Dalzell to his chum.
Indeed, to the spectators it seemed all that the middies could do against such big fellows as the visitors. Just after that, however, Hepson passed the silent signal, and then the midshipmen hurled themselves into the fray to test out all the endurance that the Hanniston players might possess.
Darrin goes through like a cannon-ball, and Dalzell is always just where Darrin needs him." "These men have played together before, and they're used to team work, sir," said Midshipman Hepson. "So? Where did they play before coming to Annapolis?" "On what was, in their day, one of the best High School eleven's going, sir." "Oho! Do you know, Mr.
By the time that the two midshipmen finished policing their quarters no housekeeper in the land could have found the least sign of disorder. Rap-tap! sounded briskly at the door. "Come in," called Dave. The door opened, revealing Midshipman Hepson, of the first class. "Are you fellows to rights?" he called. "Come in, Hepson," urged Dave. "Yes; we're to rights as far as quarters go."
"There was, sir," admitted Midshipman Hepson candidly. "There was a species of scrimmage." "Was it in connection with football?" inquired Lieutenant Cotton. "Yes, sir," which answer, again, was wholly truthful. "Ah, I thought I heard something like a scrimmage in the room," assented Lieutenant Cotton. "Yet remember, gentlemen, that quarters is not the place for football practice."
"Here's hoping for the best," grumbled Hepson, holding out his hand to each in turn. "And, for the love of Mike, keep out of all further trouble! Don't look cross-eyed once until after November!" One circumstance puzzled all of the midshipmen who first heard of the affair.
Midshipman Darrin explained the trouble as well as he could. "So the idiot accused you of keeping him off the football eleven!" demanded Hepson in astonishment. "Yes; and I offered to prove, by you, that I had nothing to do with his exclusion from the team."
"A fine way for you two to go and use the football squad! Great!" insisted Hepson bitterly. "Had you been with us, Hepson, you'd have done just as we did. I know that," Dave replied. "Well, you are calling me a bit," agreed Hepson. "After all, I don't know just what it was that got you both into this scrape. Some kind of fight, or row, in town, was all I heard."
It was on his mind, and he was determined to do it. He tripped me, of course, but I think he really acted on an unconscious impulse and without intention. So, at that rate, the trip was not really intended, since he had not deliberately planned it." "Would you be willing to play on the same team with him, Darry?" pursued Midshipman Hepson. "Yes, or with any other man in the brigade.
"Then I guess," nodded Dan, "that we'll have to stay in the ring, and let it go by apologizing to the Army for getting in their way on the field the Saturday after Thanksgiving." "We won't do that, either, by Jingo!" retorted Midshipman Hepson. "But we've got to strengthen our team. We've got to practice every minute that the commandant will allow us for practice.
