"And yet the best captain in the world can't make up for an only moderately good team.

I feel my own deficiencies!" Practically the whole of the High School assembled as spectators on the great day of the match.

Things were very different now from the old times when a mere handful collected to cheer the Seaton team.

Mistresses and girls were alike keen, and most desirous of witnessing the combat.
They followed the game breathlesly.
"Oatlands isn't worth a toss!" commented Garnet exultantly.
"Don't make too sure!" replied Linda, looking with apprehension as the red jerseys of their rivals massed round the ball.
A familiar figure dashed forward, a hockey stick struck, and the ball swept out to safety.

Linda heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Winona is just A1," she murmured.
