It was novv about three weeks beforre Thanksgiving. Ells­worth's goa1l was yet uneros.s:ed. · The hwr:d playing of the: tean1 in general had inea~pa:ciaJted 'several of the men.

the gan1e. This wo,uld he .ample time fo-r hhn to h~rn the sigmals and get a, little practice. "VVill Gibson g1et into the g:amte: '!" w:a1s the q UJestion on the t,ongues o.f all.

That evening! Gibson c:alled at the infirmary ta see Fred '\vho '\vas soo!n to begin -vvtalking on crutches. l1 'rank felt that he mrust unbostormJ hl.ms,e1f, yet was loathe to start. Fred saw that ther'e was: som,ething: on hi:s friendvs Inind a,nd by a series' of delicat~e~ quesrtions he soon lea~rned the whole story of the coa:ch'·st visit alll.d his friend'·sl firn1 reftHSiaJ to don the uni­form~ He ·S!avv thait F1~ank was! taking .ru dalngei~ous' step, one thart would in aH pr01ba1bilit~ br:rng On hiiSI headl the distplelasure of aill his :school fellows. He pointed this out to hin1 and gent,Iy remindedJ him thart he owed: 3.1 ce1rta~in amorunrt of loyalty to: his! college. \F·rattlk began to 1s1ee his friend taking a wi8er view of the sd.tua:tion than he and he h:allf decid~ed to go out again for the hontor andt g1lory of the stchool. He left his friend as­suring~ him thalt he wowldJ weig1h the martter well before he Inad~e hist deeis'1on.

On the way home, thre:e forees a1re moving in his; mind: sho,uld he refuse to enter the eont,elst a:ndJ sacrifice t;he. respect aJlJd friendsthip of aill his school fellows,; ~shou-ld he go into the bruttle and! hand the gallJJJe to the opponentS~ or shoruld he go in and fight, f01r the honor and glory of the s1choo:l. The last was quicklJ1 elimin:arteidJ fron1 the. eon:test for thought he, why should I do anythingi good! for Mlidgley and his team 'vhen he so eoolly threw me over. By the time F 1rank reruched his hall he had firn1ly dee1decl! thart he woruld either throw the game or not: play it. . In other V\T10~dJs he wonld' "even things." up.

;Fred's fa1c:e wa1s wrewthedJ in ,s11niles when Frank entered the infirmary a1 few houLrsl lart.er.

"I knew you ·would do the right thing, Prank old pal, .and I'n1. pr'oudi of yoru" he said with no sn1all am.ount of e·n­th UBiaS:m'.

"vVhat do you think the! oruteon11e ·will be1?" queried Fred. "Oerrtadn victory," was' Gibs.on'.s! ha1st.y a.nd s-mnewhRt

Fred did1 not :pm·ceive this, however, a.s: he thought tha.t his friendi wa:s gert.tin:g into the proper spirit and n1e:at11t that the vict·O['y '\vmvld be for the college.

Gibson soon left, pleading fatigue aft,er the practice. Be­fore he left Fred infoi·1n:e1C1 -h.jnT tha~t the doctors had1 given him pennission to attend! the garrne1 on Sa~tul"(l :a ~y provided the weUJtherr was d e:nteri-t.
