[The High School Captain of the Team by H. Irving Hancock]@TWC D-Link bookThe High School Captain of the Team CHAPTER XVII 8/9
Barnes and two other fellows on the Fordham eleven have been suspended from school until the School Board can take up their cases and decide whether they ought to be expelled. The Fordham principal has also made it plain that next year's team will have to be scanned by him, and that he'll keep out of the eleven any fellows who don't come up to the tests.
There's a jolly big row on in Fordham, and Barnes isn't having any sympathy wasted on him you can just bet." "It serves him and that whole football crew just right," blazed Darrin. Hazelton's injury kept him out of school only a fortnight.
The supposed break in his leg turned out to be only a sprain. While school teams like that commanded by Barnes are rare, they are found, now and then.
Yet the fate of rowdy athletes in the school world is usually swift and satisfying.
Other schools refuse to compete with schools that are known to put out "rough-house men." Dick & Co.
