All doubts were dispelled for the moment at least, as all the Navy people present let loose a tremendous cheer in which the midshipmen spectators led, for now Captain Hepson was leading his own men on to the field, the hope of the Navy that day. "Hepson! Hepson!" went up rousingly from the brigade. "Darrin! Darrin!" howled others. "Dalzell!" "Darrin! Darrin!"
"Awfully obliged to you, fellows," cried Hepson, throwing the door open. "And now you won't mind if I cut my visit short? I've a lot of fellows to see, you know." The door banged and Hepson was gone. "Say, how's the Navy going to win under a chap as nervous as Hepson?" asked Dan. "That isn't nervousness, Danny boy." "If it isn't, what is it, then?" "Electricity." "Elec Oh, say, now "
Now that the affair was over, and Dave, after inspecting the damage to his dress coat, was pulling on his overcoat, he was suddenly recalled to other responsibilities. "Danny boy," he said ruefully, as Hepson walked away with them, "I can't very well get back to the hop soon perhaps not at all tonight.
"Oh, well, if we're going to skip some recitations we'll need all the more study," sighed Dave, seating himself at his study table and drawing his books toward him. But he was not permitted to study long in peace. Word of the affair had spread, and Hepson presented himself at Darrin's quarters in great consternation. "Great!" mocked Hepson.
"It means," cried Jetson passionately, "that I'm not going to stand any more of this petty persecution. Everyone has been trying to pretend that he believes I've been trying to do Darrin up so that he can't play on the Navy football team. It's all just a mean scheme to keep me from making the Navy eleven." "There's no such scheme afloat, or I'd know about it," returned Hepson coolly.
"Hold on!" ordered Hepson, bounding forward and laying a strong, detaining hand on Jetson's shoulder. "You can't slip away like that. Matters have gone so far that they'll simply have to go further. You'd put yourself wholly in the wrong by withdrawing now especially after the slimy trick that you've played a fair opponent." "Slimy, eh?" cried Jetson angrily. "Mr.
I can't go back in this torn coat, and I may not be able to borrow another that will fit me well. Will you be good enough to hurry back and explain to Belle why I am delayed perhaps prevented from seeing her again tonight?" "Certainly," nodded Dalzell, turning and hastening back. "Now, what was it all about, Darry?" asked Hepson, as he walked along with Dave.
"It would be an utter injustice, and I'm not going to see something that is my own affair distorted into an injustice that would be altogether out of proportion to Jetson's offense." By this time the strolling pair of midshipmen had reached the entrance to Bancroft Hall. "What are you going to try to do about your dress coat, Darry?" asked Hepson in an undertone. "Borrow one?"
If you fall down it counts zero. Start when I say 'go. Are you ready?" "Quite ready." "Go!" At the word Dave sped away like a shot, Hepson giving a hand signal as he uttered the starting word, that the time-keeper at the other end might know when to release the watch. Dave's time was noted.
"We have been discussing the football situation, sir," announced Midshipman Hepson quite truthfully. Had Hepson been asked if there had recently been a fight in progress he would have answered truthfully, but he did not feel called upon to volunteer damaging information. "I thought I heard sounds as of some disturbance," remarked the O.C., looking at the young men rather sharply.
