Frank repeated what he had said before, to the effect that he thought the wounded man ought to see a physician with as little delay as possible, and therefore he was heading back to Columbia so as to take him to Dr. Shadduck. "Who?" exclaimed the wounded man, as the name was mentioned.
And in the lively talk that followed Frank soon forgot his bitter feeling at the strange actions of the pretty girl he had once thought so charming. "Glad to see you, fellows! Say, by the way, I hear that Clifford won the great football match against Columbia!" was the way the way Bones Shadduck greeted them as they reached his door and rang the bell.
Coots managed to catch the ball, and darted back with it, but was downed, almost in his tracks, by a fierce tackle on the part of Shadduck, who had slipped through the interference. "Down!" howled Coots, after he had recovered his wind. The players lined up, while Style began calling off the signals. The Columbia players braced for the attack they knew would soon come. And come it did.
The group of lads watching the work of the scrub team consisted of various types among the students and town fellows. Presently, however, Tony Gilpin nudged another fellow and beckoned him away. He knew full well that Asa Barnes, now a senior, and a class ahead of him, had only bitter feelings for several in that scrub team, and chief of all the captain, Bones Shadduck.
Bring out some of your fancy stunts, and do something, can't you?" Three minutes later and the ball came to Columbia. It was time, for Bellport had, by a series of bull-like rushes, carried it over the twenty-yard line. "Now to get back some of that lost ground. There they go! See Shadduck run, will you? He's Mercury, with wings on his feet! Look at him dodge that left guard!
Amid such yells as were seldom heard on the gridiron, Frank, accompanied by Shadduck, whose interfering services were no longer needed, touched the ball down exactly in the middle of the line, behind the two posts, while the straggling Clifford players straggled madly down the field, but too late. Behind them came their leaping, dancing and exulting opponents. "Touchdown! Touchdown!"
And under the eyes of thousands of eager spectators, the rival elevens took the places assigned to them to await the signal for play. Although there might be changes at any time during the progress of a fiercely contested game, the line-up at the start was as follows: COLUMBIA. Comfort. Allen, Captain. West. Wallace. Shadduck. Oakes. Harper. Bird. Daly. Eastwick. Morris. R.E. R.T. R.G. Center.
"It's Bones they can't find him anywhere, and I guess he's been carried off by some of those disgruntled chaps!" exclaimed the other, with a look of dismay. "What's that?" demanded Buster Billings, who happened to be nearby. "Goodness, they are saying poor Bones Shadduck has been kidnapped!" exclaimed a shuddering girl, and the news was flashed all through the several groups.
Lately both Tony and Asa had taken a notion that they would like to join the Delta Pi fraternity. To their disgust, however, they were blackballed, some among the members objecting to receiving fellows with their known reputation for mischief and evil-doing. In some way they conceived the idea that Bones Shadduck was primarily responsible for their humiliation.
Comfort F.B. Allen, Captain. West. Wallace. Shadduck. Oakes. Harper. Bird. Daly. Shay. Morris. R.E. R.T. R.G. Center. Clay. Coddling. Smith, Jr. Lacy. Alpers. Macy. Smith, Sr. L.E. L.T. L.G. Center. Snodgrass. Banghardt. Bardwell. Lee, Captain. The same referee officiated who had managed the game with Clifford so well.
