One chief reason, indeed, why the sympathy of Europe did not immediately go with us was that a disgust toward us had been created by the football passivity, as it seemed abroad, with which we had submitted to be kicked to and fro. The rebellion was deemed to be on our side, not on theirs.
Frances jerked Molly around, but she could not drive the pony against the man in time to topple him over before his wicked fingers closed on the barrel of the gun. It was Pratt who made the attack in this emergency. He had played on the Amarillo High football eleven and he knew how to "tackle." Before Pete could rise up with the recovered weapon in his grasp Pratt had him around the legs.
Instead of being a speculative football and a hopelessly bankrupt road, as it was for nearly forty years, it is now in the forefront of the great trunk lines of the eastern section of the United States. It is no longer, what it was called for many years, the "scarlet woman of Wall Street," but is a respectable member of the American railroad family.
"There are more important things than doing a hundred in eleven seconds or even time, either, for that matter." "You won't chuck football, anyway? You'll be fast enough for outside right for year's yet if you watch yourself." "Damned easy to say 'watch yourself. Yes, I shall play footer a bit longer if they want me, I suppose." Arthur Waldron dropped in a few minutes later.
"It's meant to be Rome, isn't it?" she asked. "What? That? I guess so." He got up and came over to her. "Sure," he said. "I'm not very strong on history, but I read a book once, a novel, which told how those old fellows used to like to see Christians thrown to the lions just as we like to see football games. I'll get the book again we'll read it together."
"Remember what Baxter did that's enough to nerve anybody on," finished Larry Colby. "By the way, where is Baxter?" "Sneaked out of the ranks," answered another player. "Nobody wanted to march with him." "Well, I don't blame them," concluded Sam. "Doctor Pornell now put in an appearance and desired to know if the football team did not wish to march around the oval escorted by his own players.
Ralph, however, kept on at his customary pace, still whistling one of the songs he had so lately sung with Frank and Helen Allen. Just as he was half-way past the shadowy spot, he heard a sudden shrill sound, not unlike a referee's whistle on the football gridiron.
Don't forget that you have promised to go around with me. They say Whipple is practicing every morning over in Turner's meadow. What with that and football he's a pretty busy lad, I dare say. Don't forget, nine o'clock day after to-morrow."
In spite of the great difficulty of finding grounds to play on in the neighbourhood of great towns, cricket and football are encouraged by any possible means among the working lads of our industrial centres. Games are more and more being regarded as a desirable element in the education of the British boy, and are provided for him and organised for him by those responsible for his environment.
Many of them have not lived to see the results of their service to the sport which they deemed to be manly and worth while. It is, however, because they stood there during days, often full of stress and severe criticism of the game, staunch and resistless, that football occupies its present high plane in the athletic world. It may be that some of their names are not now associated with football.
