Excerpt: ...is the--the appearance of satisfaction displayed by the ''varsity, Clint. Why is that? Carmine is patting Kendall on the back just as if he had done something fine! I suppose, though, that they''re so used to being defeated that they can pretend they''re pleased! Let me see, that makes the score 13 to 0 for the second, eh? Oh, dry up! laughed Clint. The ''varsity''s having one of its good days, that''s all, and we''re playing pretty rotten. We have to let them win once in a while. If we didn''t they might not play with us. There goes St. Clair in for Still. I hear that Still is fairly punk this Fall, said Amy. Too bad, too, for he was a dandy man last year. He had some sort of sickness in the Summer, Freer tells me. Still never said anything about it for fear he''d lose his place. That so? I''m sorry for Still, for he''s a nice chap, but that St. Clair is surely a wonder, Amy. He hasn''t any weight to speak of, but he''s the fastest backfield man they''ve got, with the exception of Marvin, maybe. Well, I don''t know much about the game, said Amy, but it seems to me that Carmine is a better quarter than Marvin. He seems to have more ginger, don''t you think? Perhaps, but Marvin''s a steadier fellow. More dependable. Handles punts a heap better. Knows a lot more football than Carmine. I like the way Carmine hustles his team, though. I reckon Marvin will have to get a hump on him or he''ll be losing his job. Which is the fellow who has your place, Clint? The tall fellow on this end; just pulling his head-guard down; see him? Yes. How is he doing? Mighty well, I''d say, responded Clint ruefully. He''s playing better than I''ve ever seen him play all Fall. There he goes now! Let''s see if he gets under the ball. Martin had punted, a long, high corkscrew that hung well and then came down with a rush toward the waiting arms of Kendall. Captain Turner had got away with Robbins at his heels, but Lee, the other end, had been sent sprawling by Edwards,...

A boy in a blue serge suit sat on the second tier of seats of an otherwise empty grand-stand and, with his straw hat pulled well over his eyes, watched the progress of a horse-drawn mower about a field. The horse was a big, well-fed chestnut, and as he walked slowly along he bobbed his head rhythmically. In the seat of the mower perched a thin little man in a pair of blue overalls and a shirt which had also been blue at one time, but which was now faded almost white. A broad-brimmed straw hat A boy in a blue serge suit sat on the second tier of seats of an otherwise empty grand-stand and, with his straw hat pulled well over his eyes, watched the progress of a horse-drawn mower about a field. The horse was a big, well-fed chestnut, and as he walked slowly along he bobbed his head rhythmically. In the seat of the mower perched a thin little man in a pair of blue overalls and a shirt which had also been blue at one time, but which was now faded almost white. A broad-brimmed straw hat of the sort affected by farmers, protected his head from the noonday sun.
