Dick Prescotts’s Fourth Year at West Point

CHAPTER XVII
6/12

But I'll send Laura a letter once a week now, anyway.

She may guess from that, as graduation approaches, that I am sending my thoughts more and more in her direction." With the bravery of which he was so capable, Dick ceased his worry about his sweetheart as much as he could, and threw his leisure hours heartily into his work in the ball squad.
It will not be possible to describe the games of the season in detail.

There were twenty scheduled games in all, though three were called off on account of rain.

The Army won twelve out of sixteen games played with college teams.

Dick and Greg were the battery in the heaviest nine of the winning games, and in one of the games lost.
Prescott and Holmes had no difficulty in putting up a game that has sent them down in history as being the best Army battery to that date.
But the Navy, that year, had an exceptionally fine team, too, with Dave Darrin and Dalzell for its star battery.
"This is the game we've got to win, fellows," called out Durville earnestly, two days before the Annapolis nine was due at West Point in the latter part of May.
