But there were cups for prizes, and there was always much rivalry between the two athletic clubs, the Corinthians and Pythians, as to which could show the most winners. So for that day the football players rested from their practice; many of them in fact were entered in the sports—though, like Collingwood, without any special preparation.
"I've been doing so ever since this foolish conversation started, and I haven't found the answer yet. All I recall, Jetson, is that, at the outset of my football practice, there was some little unpleasantness between us. You injured me, twice, in practice play, and I admit that I was somewhat angry about it at the time. But you gave your word that you hadn't intended any tricks against me.
His opinion of things had especial value even in his Junior year. After the football season, when he had been acknowledged the keenest manager the college had ever found, the under-classmen had a blind faith in his infallibility.
"Old friends, Prescott?" demanded Brayton as the two cadets ran back to their own forces. "We four learned football together, on the same team," confessed Dick. "Is that man Darrin as big a wonder as we've heard?" queried Brayton. "Bigger, I'm afraid," returned Prescott. "He opposes you today. Can he get away with you?" "He may be able to batter me down.
More than once he called at now one, now another fraternity house and hailed us: 'Where is that young freshman that is out for my team? I would like to have him take a little walk with me. And these walks, incidentally, had little or nothing to do with football. They were great opportunities for the little freshman who wanted to get closer to the character of the man himself.

As Garry Cochran used to say: "If I find any man on my football squad showing a white feather, I'll have him hounded out of college." Football is a game for the man who has nerve, and when put to the test, under severe handicap, proves his sterling worth. A man has to be game in spirit. A man has to give every inch there is in him. Optimism should surround him.
Not so bad, is it? Rosalind thinks she's no end of an artist, but I " "When did he die?" inquired Mr Ratman, still examining the picture. "Oh, ever so long ago before the old Squire married Auntie. I say, come and have a punt about with my new football, will you?" "Go and get it. I'll be down presently. I like pictures, and shall just take a look at these first!"
It was not alone her unabashed and open admiration of himself which amused while it flattered, just a little, for he was only human; but she had an unbounding enthusiasm for everything she saw and did which made it a real delight to be with her anywhere, at dance, or theater or football game or moving picture. There was nothing blasé or jaded of any of life's offerings about Arethusa.
But Smith, in spite of his deformity, was not one to submit to arrest without a struggle. He fought them off and broke away, running toward the baggage-room. As he rushed in, they followed. One of them was gaining on him and took a flying football tackle. The other almost fell over the twisted mass of arms and legs.
