Young men in the blue and gold striped stockings of the Navy were trotting on to the field.

The Navy band turned itself loose, followed in an instant by the Army band.
The din was something bewildering.

Those in the further seats could not hear the music of the bands at all.
Dick and Greg watched covertly as they saw the Navy team come on at the other end of the field.

Which was Dave, and which was Dan?
Hang it, how disguising these football suits were! Both teams went on with their practice.

There came a moment when the Army and Navy teams came closer to each other.
Then the eager spectators saw something that was not on the programme.
The chums of the old Gridley days had made each other out in the same moment.
