The Army players and substitutes got into their togs, then waited.
"All ready ?" called Brayton at last.

"Then fall in and out on to the field in double time!" Another wild outburst of cheering was let loose when the Army eleven trotted in into view.

The Military Academy Band began playing.

An instant later the Naval Academy Band fell in, playing the same air by ear.
The ball was turned loose, and after it went the players.

The practice work was brisk and warm.
Hardly had the combined bands stopped playing when another great yell broke loose.
