For the rest of the half the home team was satisfied to keep Woodby away from its goal, and made no effort to score.

Woodby left the field after the fashion of victors, which, practically, they were, while the Erskine players trotted subduedly back to the locker-house with unpleasant anticipations of what was before them--anticipations fully justified by subsequent events.

Neil walked back to college beside Sydney Burr, insisting that that youth should take his hands from the levers and be pushed.

Paul had got into the habit of always accompanying Cowan on his return from the field, and as Neil liked the big sophomore less and less the more he saw of him, he usually fell back on either Ted Foster or Sydney Burr for company.

To-day it was Sydney.
