Not only did Dave receive a flattering amount of praise in print.

Dan came in for a lot of pleasant notice also.
Dave received a marked copy of that issue of the "Blade." He fairly shivered as he read through that column and a half.
"Danny boy," shuddered Darrin, passing the "Blade" over to his roommate, "read this awful stuff.

Then help me to destroy this paper!" Dan Dalzell read the column and a half, and reddened, grinning in a sickly sort of way.
"Just awful, isn't it ?" demanded Midshipman Dalzell.
"Awful ?" muttered Darrin uneasily.

"Why that doesn't begin to describe it.

If any upper class man should see that paper--" "He won't see this copy," proclaimed Dan, beginning to tear the offending issue of the "Blade" into small bits.
In the parlance of Annapolis the newspaper from a midshipman's home town is known as the "Bazoo." Now, the "Bazoo" has an average inclination to print very flattering remarks about the local representative at Annapolis.
