Ridgway rose, and said he considered the motion dealt far too leniently with the mutineers.

He would say, drum them out of the club, and reorganise without them.
Denton asked if it would not be more honest and straightforward to summon them to the next match, and if they didn't turn up give them the thrashing they deserved?
Fisher major said he supported the captain's proposal.

It was nonsense their playing with scratch teams, and letting it be supposed that was the best the School could do.

Some of the fellows on strike were no doubt good players, and that made it all the more discreditable of them to try to damage the School record by crippling the team.

They no doubt hoped that they would be begged to rejoin on their--own terms.
