"Well, Put asked Gordon to come along before I could prevent it. Of course I didn't have the crust to make any objection after that." "I should say not! It's all right, but you want to remember that the sophs found out something was going on. Did Gordon come right along with you?" "No. He said he'd have to go to his room, but he showed up a few minutes after we arrived here."
They were waiting like prisoners jammed into the gym lobby, and a guard of sophs patrolled the entrance. Noticeable in the assemblage was little Sarah Howland-noticeable because she sat on a window sill all alone and dangled her feet contentedly. She actually appeared to be enjoying the prospect of being "roughed." Shirley was noisy as usual, and for once her raillery seemed appropriate.
Some of the sophs had been unable to render much assistance, and they now did their best to aid Swallows and Emery. In their haste to do something they seemed to get in the way of each other.
I am not doing as well as I ought in my subjects. But you must play the sophs and beat them if you can. Don't try any of those new stunts Ramsey showed you unless you can put them over so cleverly no one will know the difference. You will have to be careful. You have a touchy proposition to tackle."
I've never been able to prove that Merriwell put the advertisement into the paper, but it is all settled in my mind. It was directly after this that I went into training." Some of the sophs laughed and some showed indignation. "It was a very nawsty thing to do," declared Paulding. "I can't help laughing over it." chuckled Tad Horner. "But of course you ought to get back at Merriwell."
"I'm afraid this is rather a serious matter," said Dismal Jones. "Oh, don't begin to croak!" cried Rattleton. "Merriwell knows his business. Hurry up with your makeup. Can't tell how early the sophs will call." So the boys hastened to complete their disguise, and a decidedly savage-looking band they were when all was completed. Frank surveyed them with satisfaction.
"'Lock the door? Not much! You mustn't do that." "Why not?" "It isn't polite." "What are you talking about?" demanded Foster. "Just what I'm telling you. Freshmen mustn't lock their doors, that's not the thing. The janitor told me not to, because the sophs will take it as a challenge to break it in. He said the college had to put sixty new locks this summer on the doors here in Perry."
They started on a run, but when they arrived at the place where the teams had been left not a team was there. The freshmen had captured the teams, drivers and all, together with the hack, and far along the road toward the city could be heard a cheering, singing crowd. As the disgusted and furious sophs stood and listened the singing and cheering grew fainter and fainter.
The sophs were inclined to regard this as a jolly, and they continued confident of winning over the freshmen with the greatest ease. "I say, Merry," said Rattleton, the day before the race was to come off, "you can't guess who Gordon is chumming with lately." "I don't know as I can. Who is it?" "Ditson." "Get out!" "That's on the level."
"See here, fellows," spoke Thomp, "there's a big chance fer the crowd to win fun and glory for good old Gridley H.S. Seniors and Dick & Co. will steal down the alleyway, and be upon that lookout before he can say 'batter-cakes and coffee. Juniors and sophs go in a bunch, prepared to catch the lookout on Main Street. All get your coats and come softly down the side stairs!"
