"With you there, Dick, I feel absolutely certain that even Tottenville must go down in the dust. Gridley will bring back the score -and not a tied score, either." "I certainly hope I am as big a mascot, or possess as big a mascot as you seem to believe," laughed young Prescott. "You and Dave are each other's mascots," declared Belle Meade, with a laugh.
And these stalwart college boys before him seemed to him to be the old, old Tottenville High School youngsters. One strike Greg essayed and lost. At the second offer, he hit the ball a sharp crack and started. He reached first, but as he turned, the ball fell into the hands of Lehigh's second baseman, and Greg fell back to safety at first.
Titmouse had acquired, through sharp dealing, usury and in many other ways a considerable sum of money and property in the course of his life, yet he was not the man to part with any of it needlessly. The special wagon now resting in the wagon shed at his home place in Tottenville had been designed by him at a time when people all through the state had been much interested in outdoor life.
"I look upon the Gridley chances as being so good, sir," replied Phin, "that, if I weren't a member of the squad, and a student of the High School, I think I'd be tempted to bet all I could raise on Tottenville." "Betting is too strong a vice for boys, Mr. Drayne," replied the submaster, rather stiffly. "And doubt of your own comrades isn't very good school spirit."
Of a sudden there was a subtle, swift pass, and Gridley's left end darted along, almost parallel with the ten-yard line, then made a dashing cut around and past Tottenville. Two of the home team tackled that left end, but he shook them off. In another instant "Touchdown!" yelled the frantic Gridley boosters. "Touchdown! Oh, you Darrin! Oh, you Prescott!" Bert Dodge rubbed his eyes.
Remember that the law against false swearing applies to boys as much as it does to men. And now, good day, Mr. Dodge. I trust you will be able to convince your son of his wrongdoing." However, the elder Dodge, despite his momentary sternness, was not a parent who exercised much influence over his son. Half an hour later Bert had out the family runabout, making fast time toward Tottenville.
Then I fell to studying this document." "You must have thought it a hoax," smiled Dick wearily. "I did, at first, yes," continued the Tottenville football captain. "In fact, I was half of that mind when I left Tottenville to come here. But I was determined to find out the truth of the matter. Mr.
Wadleigh, who had shown fine generalship in this stiff game was cheered until the boosters went hoarse. "Gentlemen," cried Coach Morton, raising his voice to its fullest carrying power as the dressing quarters filled, "it's probably too early to brag, but I feel that we've got an old-fashioned Gridley eleven this year." "Ask Grant!" "Ask anybody in Tottenville!"
In this disguise Drayne sat where he could see what would happen. At the outset it was Gridley's kick off, and for the next ten minutes Tottenville had the ball, fighting stubbornly with it. But at last, when forced half way down the field between center and its own goal line, Gridley blocked so well in the three following plays that the pigskin came to the home eleven.
At that moment the door opened again, and Mr. Morton entered briskly. "Now, Captain, what is your news?" called coach, as he came forward. "Why, this is one of the Tottenville team, isn't it?" "Mr. Morton, Captain Jarvis, of the Tottenville High School team," replied Dick, and the two shook hands. Then Dick drew the typewritten document from his pocket. They could talk here, for Mr.
