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.

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."
