intentionally, anyway," Dick smiled back at the "sore" one.
"But I hear that we young Davids are going to be pitted against
Goliaths this afternoon. It may be just my luck to go down in one
of the scrimmages and get a furlough in hospital."

"I hope so!" muttered Haynes, but he said it under his breath.

Out over on the side lines officers and their families, and hordes
of visitors, were filing toward the seats. Across at the east
side of the gridiron, Lehigh's few hundred sympathizers were already
bunched, and were making up with noise for their smallness of
numbers.

Among the Army "boosters" the uniforms of the officers brightened
the picture.

From time to time squads or detachments of cadets arrived and
passed along to the seats reserved for them in the center.

Below the cadets, the band was stationed, and was already playing
lively airs.

Out ahead of the band stood a megaphone on a tripod. This was
to be used, later on, by the cheer-master, one of the cadets,
who must call for the yells or the songs that were to be given.
A rousing cheer ascended from the Lehigh seats when the visiting
college team trotted out on the field. Hearty, courteous applause
from the Army seats also greeted the visitors. The band played as

"Team fall in!" shouted Brayton, at last "Substitutes to the rear.

Out of the gym. stepped these young champions of the Army. Across
the roadway they strode, then broke into a trot as they reached
the edge of the field.

And now a mighty cheer arose. Yesterday, the Army's friends had
feared a defeat, but now word had gone the rounds that Prescott
and Holmes had made the team strong in its weakest spot, and that
a cyclonic game might be looked for.

For the next few minutes the Army eleven indulged in practice
plays and kicks. During this period, the cheer-master cadets
and the corps of cadets were busied with the various Army yells
and songs that promised victory for the young soldiers.

Nor were the Lehigh "boosters" anything like idle. Every time
an Army cheer ceased, the Lehigh sympathizers cheered their own
team.

Then game was called, with kick-off for the Army.

The ball was passed to Lehigh's right end, who, full of steam,
dashed on with it.

Dick and Greg were foremost in the obstruction that met the Lehigh
runner. But the Lehigh man was well supported. Through Dick,
Greg and Ellerson dashed
