In the meantime George Butler, the Referee, took advantage of the situation and, with the assistance of several spectators, was boosted over the fence where he waited for some player to come and fall on the ball, which was fairly hidden in a ditch covered over with branches.
The decision of the referee was prompt, but even so, it was almost lost in the sudden stir and murmur which arose behind us. Some one came pushing through the crowd, evidently having sprung down from one of the carriages.
With that, Lieutenant Carney ran over to the edge of the gridiron, leaving another officer, of the coaching force, to officiate as referee. The ball was placed in play. At the kick-off the ball came to Greg, who passed it to Dick. The interference formed, backed by Brayton. "Put it around their right end!" growled Brayton, the word passing swiftly to Prescott.
The breeze is now blowing at force eight; or, as we should say, "slashing." During the night we had met with a few casualties to our sails, but so slight were they that in the morning we were able to take our place among the coursers, as judge, referee, and starter. At this moment the admiral signals "chase to windward." What takes place now is a pretty sight.
At any rate, he had no competitor as the Mouthpiece. He owned enough stock in the Daily Banner to dictate its utterance, enough shares in the First National Bank to be the referee of its loans, and a war record that left him without a rival for first place at barbecues, school commencements, and Decoration Days. Besides these acquirements he was possessed with endowments.
Which proves that in all other countries of the world a shopkeeper is a shopkeeper; while in France, and in Paris more particularly, he is a student from a College Royal, a well-read man with a taste for art, or angling, or the theatre, and consumed, it may be, with a desire to be M. Cunin-Gridaine's successor, or a colonel of the National Guard, or a member of the General Council of the Seine, or a referee in the Commercial Court.
Gridley's craft seemed to be straining as she neared the line. Suddenly three sharp, short, shrill blasts sounded from the whistle of the judges' launch. "Prescott!" roared the referee. "Now, what's up, I wonder?" Dick asked himself, with another sinking feeling at heart. The judges' boat was making fast time toward the Gridley High School entry.
Neuralgia, Todd, is simply torturing me this moment, and refereeing wouldn't improve it. Do you mind taking my place? Do please say 'No' if you'd rather not." "Very sorry, sir," said Gus, referring to the neuralgia. "Referee!" "Yes," said Taylor, with a ghost of a smile at Todd's astonishment. "Certainly, I will, sir I mean I'll take your place.
"Now, gents," said Hiram to his men, "if this is a spittin'-at-a-crack contest instead of a tub-squirt, I reckon we'd better go to headquarters and find out about it." But at Smyrna's announced determination to raid the referee, Vienna massed itself in the way. It began to look like the good old times, and the spectators started a hasty rush to withdraw from the scene.
A timekeeper and referee had already been appointed by Sam and the rival captain, at a meeting at the Hall three days before. "My! what a crowd!" exclaimed Tom, as he surveyed the multitude. "I didn't think we were going to have such an audience as this!" "Nor I," returned Sam. "We must do our level best, fellows!" "That's what!" came from several. "If we get whipped "
