He now threw one leg over the corner of the study table, though he inquired: "Am I interrupting anything private ?" "Not in the least," Dave assured him.
"Am I intruding in any way ?" "Not a bit of it," Darrin answered heartily "We're glad to have you here with us." "Surely," nodded Farley.
"Now, then, as to my well known unfitness to command the Navy football team," continued First Classman Wolgast, "do either of you see any faults in me that can be remedied ?" "I can't," Dave answered.

"I believe, Wolly, that you can lead the team as well as any other man in the squad.

On the whole, I believe you can lead a little better than any other man could do." "No help from your quarter, then, Darry," sighed Midshipman Wolgast.
"Farl, help me out.

Tell me some way in which I can improve my fitness for the post of honor that has been thrust upon me.
I assure you I didn't seek it." "Wolgast, my objection to you has nothing personal in it," Farley went on.

"With me it is a case simply of believing that Darry could lead us on the gridiron much better than you're likely to." "That I know," retorted Wolgast, with emphasis.
