"That was a narrow squeak," grunted Hepson. "Now, Jetson, get out ahead." "I'll renew this argument at another time," retorted Jetson slowly, as he crossed the floor. "You don't need to, sir," Midshipman Hepson advised him. "Every gentleman here will agree with me that Mr. Dalzell had the best of the affair right up to the end. Nor is Mr.
The Rustlers' support failed, and Jetson went down with the ball. Nor could the second team advance the ball, so it presently came to the Navy men again. "I want you to put it through again like a cannon-ball, Darrin," Midshipman Hepson whispered as they passed. So the quarter-backs called for a repetition of the play, giving different signals.
"Perhaps you're just in time, Hep," murmured Dave, fighting to cool down his temper. "I wanted you to prove " "Stop!" ejaculated Jetson angrily. In his extreme passion he threw all restraint and courtesy to the winds. "I wouldn't take the word of Hepson, or of any man in the entire brigade in this matter. Darrin has lied, and "
"He has always been infernally sulky and high-handed," growled Midshipman Hepson. "A bad temper is not such an uncommon failing," smiled Dave. "No; but there are limits to the amount of temper that a gentleman may display and still be worthy to associate with gentlemen," contended Hepson stubbornly. "It's the insult to the whole brigade that I'm thinking of.
You see, Hep, I know Prescott and Holmes pretty well, from the fact that we played together on the same High School eleven for two years. Prescott, in fact, was the boy who trained us all." "Well, don't let the Navy fellows get the idea that you're afraid of that Army pair," begged Hepson. "It might get our men discouraged. Darry, we simply must wipe up the field with the Army!
"Well, we're hardly team material," objected Dave modestly. "However, I'll promise for myself and Dalzell, too, that we'll turn out to all the practice we can, and work like blazes!" "Will you?" cried Midshipman Hepson delightedly. He jumped up, grasping each midshipman by the hand in turn. "But you don't want to bank on us too much," Darrin continued.
"It's electricity," Dave insisted. "He's a live wire, that man Hepson. He'll pull us through on the field this year, if any one can." "There's nothing like looking on the bright side of things," murmured Dalzell, drumming on his chair. "I'd rather see Hepson under estimate the Navy team," went on Dave, "than feel too sure that it is invincible.
"Darrin, you know well enough that you so influenced Hepson to keep me off the team!" "Jetson, are you mad?" "No; but I'm naturally angry." "I give you my word that I didn't do anything to prevent your making the team." "And you expect me, Mr. Darrin, to believe that?" "If you decline to do so, it amounts to passing the lie. But I'll overlook that for a moment.
"Are we intruding so many of us," inquired Hepson, halting. "Not on me, anyway," answered Dave pleasantly. "As for Danny boy, don't mind the little chap. He really believes that study release sounds before supper-call. Come right in, all of you fellows. Dan barks, but won't bite." "And take seats, all of you, do," urged Dan, with unnecessary hospitality.
"Well, the Hanniston fellows have brought over some money with which to back up the howls they're making for their team. They're offering odds of ten to six that Hanniston wins." "They stand to lose a lot of money," grinned Hepson. "But here's the funny part of it," continued Waite.
