Hartwick eagerly asked as he wiped the blood from Browning's face. "Can you finish him next round?" "I shall try, but I don't believe the fellow can be licked unless he is killed. That's what I think of him." "Didn't I hear you say you knew a trick that would do him?" "Yes, but it is not a square deal, although no referee could call it foul if this were a fight with bare fists.
Players who carried the ball, are now carrying trade to the ends of the world. Men who bucked the line, are forging their way sturdily to the front. Men who were tackles, are still meeting their opponents with the same intrepid zeal. The men who played at end in those days, are to-day seeing that nothing gets around them in the business world. The public is the referee and umpire.
On this point, as an official of the fight, Referee Edgerton did not feel called upon to express an opinion. Farley, at his first glimpse of the waiting first classman, felt a chill of coming disaster. "Do you believe it?" "I surely do." "But Treadwell looks a whole lot more vast now that he's stripped."
If they would only run straight there was little doubt that they would carry the roans and themselves to glory; but one could not tell the moment they might bolt or kick things to pieces. Being the only non-partisan in the crowd I was asked to referee. The race was about half a mile and return, the first and last quarters being upon the ice.
What does he know about scientific fighting? I had made up my mum-mind to take care that it was a regular fight by rounds, with seconds and a referee to see fair play. I'd certainly fixed him that way, all right." Still, to his annoyance, Rackliff seemed doubtful. "Perhaps you would, but if he'd ever got in one wallop " "Oh, you make me tut-tired!" exclaimed Springer.
"The starting time will be delayed," he announced sharply. "Captain Prescott, take your canoe to the landing stage." "All right, sir." "Captain Hartwell you will follow." "Very good, sir." Going in to the landing stage Dick gave his crew an easy pace, yet they were soon alongside the float. "Now, take your canoe out of water, Gridley," commanded the referee, stepping ashore from the launch.
Yet it came as a welcome relief to the Gridley youngsters when the referee and the other officials came to the field and game was called. Dick Prescott won the toss, and took the kickoff. That, of course, sent the ball into Fordham ranks. In an instant the solid Fordham line emitted a murmur that sounded like a bear's growl, then came thundering down upon the smaller Gridley youngsters.
Ginger was getting marked all over, but he stuck, to 'is man, and the two dock policemen, wot 'ad put their money on Bill Lumm, began to talk of their dooty, and say as 'ow the fight ought to be stopped. At the tenth round Bill couldn't see out of 'is eyes, and kept wasting 'is strength on the empty air, and once on the referee.
Then Captain Orme very sensibly asked for a definition of our respective duties, and it was settled that I was to be guide to the expedition; Higgs, antiquarian, interpreter, and, on account of his vast knowledge, general referee; and Captain Orme, engineer and military commander, with the proviso that, in the event of a difference of opinion, the dissentient was to loyally accept the decision of the majority.
"Seems to be a case for an umpire," he observed. "Um. Seem's if 'twas, seems so, seems so. Well, Captain Lote's just comin' across the road and, if you say the word, I'll call him in to referee. What do you say?" They said nothing relevant to the subject in hand. Issachar made the only remark. "Crimus-TEE!" he ejaculated. "Come on, Al, come on." The pair hurried away to resume lumber piling.
