We grabbed our fellows as they started for the gym and put them on our shoulders. We were so tickled we even, gathered up those four subs. When we grabbed Harry the coach grabbed us. “Never mind, boys, lie's perfectly capable of walking.” We were taken back, somewhat, but didn't let it worry us any. At the gym the coach gathered those eleven huskies together and told them about Harry. He had discovered that Harry had mailed Dansville a copy of our signals and plays the day before. How did you find it out?” Who told you?” “The big piker!” Let’s expel him! Gee! that makes me mad!” were all heard from the team. I’liat night, we had a big lxmfire celebration at the schoolhousc and everyone was there but Harry. He quit school, gave his sweater to the coach and left town. We never heard of him again.

Everyone looked at the others to see who was guilty and then they got mad. “Let me tell you what.” cried our captain, “if they win this game by any sneaking deal like- that, they ought to be killed. I propose you give those signals backwards. Laurie, and muddle up these most honorable opponents of ours. Let's try it. up: “Three cheers for Ray!” “You had a bright idea, boys!” “Let’s go out on the held and try it!” And away they “Let’s try it! “Get a move on. Laurie! “Step went. They lined up. and Laurie gave the signals backwards. He sometimes had to figure, but he did it and everything moved off fine. Our subs went over and laid down bv the Dansville fellows. Our coach watched them until lie saw Harry single out their captain. They walked aside and seemed in earnest conversation. The coach walked up to them and slapping 1 larry on the back. said. “Come on, old fellow. I want to see you subs a minute.” Just a minute. exclaimed Harry. Oh. come on! So Harry went. Just then the whistle blew and the teams lined up. Our fellows had the kick-off and stopped Dansville on the thirty yard line. We held them and got the ball. Laurie gave his signal backwards. The Dansville captain looked at him blankly a moment, then cried. Everybody on the job! That captain was a halfback and when Jim got that ball Toogie started right toward him. Jim sidestepped and had a clear field. He kicked goal and the score was 13 to 7. We nearly went frantic; our boys were waking up. If they could just keep on. Before the quarter was up our boys had made another touchdown and the score was 13 to 13. Then Laurie made a mistake in his signals and Dansville gained twenty yards. Laurie gave the signal for a punt and Gene surely punted. Dansville was stopped thirty yards from their goal. Score 13 to 13 and three minutes to play. Laurie's signal called for an end run and over the line went Mike. After he had kicked goal, there were only thirty seconds left to play and the game was won by Hartford 20-13.
