SAWYER VOWS VENGEANCE Miter Hill School followed Canterbury the next Saturday and was an unexpectedly weak opponent.
The contest was slow and lifeless and dragged its weary length along until almost twilight.
Miter Hill's players were in poor physical condition and, since the afternoon was warm and close, made a poor showing.
The weather affected Brimfield, too, although she was not as susceptible to injury as the other team. Miter Hill was forever getting hurt, it seemed, and the audience which had braved a remorseless sun and a horde of blood-thirsty midges soon began to grumble. The game was further slowed down in the last two periods by the substitution of half the members of the second and third squads for the Maroon-and-Grey.
Even Tom had a three or four-minute experience on the 'varsity, something which he had long ceased hoping for, while Steve played nearly all of the fourth period at right end.
