Now she knew that so long as Marian's spleen directed itself against her, and her alone, she could never do it. She would fight for her friends, but never for herself. At half-past four o'clock on the Wednesday following the sophomore class elections, the sophomore basket-ball try-out took place in the gymnasium.
We actually sloughed off the weariness we had felt after a steady twenty-four hours' spell at the try-out kettles. We lowered and spread out, fanwise, from the bark and made for the whales. No need of racing this morning. As Tom said, it looked as though a harpoon thrown into the air in almost any direction would hit a whale when it came down! I was eager to throw an iron myself.
Tom, however, had to prove to his own satisfaction the success of every detail of his invention before he was willing to tell Mr. Bartholomew that he was ready for a public test. Mr. Damon, nor even Ned, could scarcely see the reason for Tom's caution. Tom's favorite try-out grade was between Hammon and Cliff City.
The shot went wide. Natalie sank back in her corner, deathly pale; and with a hand over her lips, to keep from crying out. Her part was harder than his. He called down to her reassuringly. "All right! Only a try-out!" Further down, a second figure showed briefly, scrambling up the right-hand side of the trough. Garth fired a fraction of a second too late.
They had also learned a number of things about basket ball that they had not known before. Whether they could apply this knowledge to their own playing on such short notice was a question. When the fateful junior try-out was over, Professor Leonard was of the private opinion that he had made a mistake in attempting to carry basket ball beyond the sophomore year.
It seemed as though every plan that human ingenuity could devise had been already discussed, and shelved for the very excellent reason that there never was any capital with which to give the projects a try-out. While the members subscribed with glad and openhanded generosity, to collect the subscriptions was another matter.
Also, he can put his hand without hesitation on any one of these documents," he waved his hand about the room. "I can't." He stopped to light the stub of a long-extinct cigar. "I can't make it hard for that sort of man. So I guess we'll have to take you out of the office. Still, I promised Welton to give you a good try-out. Then, too, I'm not satisfied in my own mind. I can see you are trying.
"You forget basket ball," reminded Muriel. "I am going to try to forget it," retorted Ronny so wearily that her tone elicited a chorus of giggles. "I don't play the game, thank my stars!" "I shall, if I have a chance," Muriel asserted. "How about you, Marjorie?" "I am going to try for a place on the team this year," Marjorie announced in a purposeful manner. "I hope we get a fair try-out.
At this last try-out the team had shown more speed than ever, and a certain delight in their work that spoke well for the final selection that had been made; while Kid, as a leader, had been manifesting such extraordinary talent that even Allan had been loud in his praise. Which was rare, for his approval of his dogs was more often expressed in deeds than in words.
"It means that I am going to produce it on my own." She slid to the edge of the chair, her hand closing over the desk edge. "Oh! Oh!" "Isn't that what you want?" "Yes." "Well, that is my reason." "You mean you don't see it, either?" "But you do." "But " "No 'buts. She goes into rehearsal for a spring try-out in Baltimore, Stamford, or any of the dog towns.
