[Dick Prescott’s Third Year at West Point by H. Irving Hancock]@TWC D-Link bookDick Prescott’s Third Year at West Point CHAPTER XI 4/14
Lieutenant Carney is so blue that I believe he'd like to compromise by giving Lehigh the game at a score of twelve to nothing! And the Navy! Think of the fun of having Annapolis strutting around with the Army scalp tied to an anchor!" "If you really mean what you've been saying," said Dick slowly, "then we're going tomorrow afternoon.
I'm taking the liberty of speaking for Greg." "That's straight and correct," affirmed Holmes hastily. "But I'm not sure, Brayton, that you'll find us such bang-up material as you appear to think." "Oh, bother that!" cried the Football captain jubilantly.
"I know what Lieutenant Carney can do with you.
So, for the glory the Army, then, you'll come out, after this, and stand by us for the rest of the season ?" "For the glory of the Army, if we have anything to do with it," cried Dick heartily, "we'll 'fess' cold in every confounded study on the third-year list.
For the glory of the Army we'll consent to being 'found' and kicked out of the service!" "Hear, hear!" came rousingly from Cadet Holmes. "Fellows---thank you!" gasped Brayton, grasping both their hands and shaking them hard.
