Have you boys any paper to show that you represent your school ?" "Yes," admitted Hi, producing an envelope.

"Our principal gives us the proper authority." Len read the note, nodding.

"The Central Grammar boys have also produced their authority to act, so now we can get down to the details of the contest.

The North Grammar boys are the challengers, are they not ?" "Yes," claimed Hi.
"Then what sort of a swimming contest do you propose ?" Len asked.
"Each school to appoint its best swimmer, and arrange a half-mile race between the champions of the two schools," Hi answered promptly.
"The school whose champion wins is to be declared the champion in swimming." "We expected that," nodded Dick, "and we won't agree to it.

If this match is to be held for the school championship, then there should be several boys entered from each school----say five, six or seven from each school.
