The High School Captain of the Team

CHAPTER XIII
6/10

Dick soon encountered Dave and told him the news he had gleaned from Mr.Macey.
"Been sending their second coach over to watch our play, have they ?" laughed Darrin softly.

"That seems to show how much they fear us in Fordham." "I believe we are going to have a stiff game," muttered Prescott.
"Hallam Heights and Fordham are the only two teams that think enough of the game to hire two coaches." "Well, we have Hallam's scalp dangling down at the gym.," laughed Dave Darrin.
"And we'll have Fordham's in the same way," predicted Dick confidently.
It barely occurred to the young captain of the team to wonder what it would mean for him if the game to Fordham should be lost.
Dick would be the first captain in years who had lost a football game for Gridley.
