"I don't forgit the same; but there's a good many more rid than white men and Mr. Bowlby is lame." "What of that? He doesn't expect to fight with his feet." "There are many scrimmages in which it's handy to use yer faat. If Deerfut hadn't popped along just as I keeled over the Wolf I'd jumped on him; then, do ye not mind that the men may take it into their heads to run away."
"No, miss; I've been in six scrimmages, and never got a scratch till this last one; but it's done the business pretty thoroughly for me, I should say. Lord! what a scramble there'll be for arms and legs, when we old boys come out of our graves, on the Judgment Day: wonder if we shall get our own again?
I had three scrimmages with redskins, and came so near losing my scalp in the last case that I have been mighty careful ever since as to how I went up to a stranger and shook hands with him till I was pretty sure he was a friend, which is why I waited so long with you." "Well, you were cautious, indeed, but perhaps it was as well, for one can't be too careful at such a time as this."
Come, Mr Scraggs, we've other business on hand just now than squinting at the scrimmages of these fellows." "Hold on," cried Scraggs with a grin; "I do believe they're going to pitch a feller over that cliff. What a crack he'll come down into the water with, to be sure. It's to be hoped the poor man is dead, for his own sake, before he takes that flight.
After he had had the breath knocked out of him and been well shinned half a dozen times in scrimmages at football scrimmages in which he had become involved sorely against his will he ceased to see any further fun in football, and shirked that noble game in a way that got him into trouble with the elder boys, who would stand no shirking on the part of the younger ones.
It would have been plain to any less obtuse observer than his companion that he no longer gave him his attention. "Well, no; nothing to be called serious has happened lately; though I dare say we shall have some scrimmages as the winter comes on; there's allus a good deal of what I calls hanky-panky work in the fawn season.
At last, after one of the scrimmages, Dennison got up, hobbled a moment, and then sat down again. Collingwood hurried over to him anxiously. “Wrenched my ankle,” said Dennison. “I guess I’ll be all right in a moment.” Waring, the Fifth Former, who acted as water-carrier, ran out on the field with his pail and sponge. Mr. Barclay examined the ankle, then turned to Collingwood.
Just after the ball has flown between the goal-posts, amid thunders of triumph from our enemies, the umpire calls time. Suffice it to state that the second three-quarters of an hour is largely a repetition of the first short, furious rushes, everlasting scrimmages, and here and there a punt.
Go in it must, if sheer strength would do it. The vice-president of the Americo-African Mining Company was no weakling. A six-foot athlete and captain of the Varsity football team in his college days, his muscles had been toughened in a thousand lively scrimmages and in later life plenty of golf, rowing and other out-of-door sports had kept him in condition.
"I expect," he said to himself, "he got hurt in one of those scrimmages yesterday, although he did not say anything about it. I do hope that he is not going to be ill. The examinations are on next week, it will be a frightful nuisance for him to miss them." He went into Edgar's dormitory again the last thing. He opened the door very quietly in case he should be asleep.
