You didn't win but I'm proud of you all, said Coach Howard, slapping the jaded players on the back as they came through the door.

Here, Bostwick, he added a minute later to the captain, who, sunk in gloom and with hanging head, was pulling off his wet football clothes,

I'll get it before the rowing stops, and if not then, when it starts in the spring, he boasted to his roommates.

Watch me.

For the love of Mike, cried Frank from his room, where he had gone to nab an elusive French irregular or two,
human
Why so peevish? inquired the Codfish, keeping up his strumming and humming.
gpt
There are fourteen different keys, you know, Mr. Armstrong, and as you never know which one you're going to be caught in, I've got to be a Spanish student in every one of them. I only have ten more to fix in my retentive memory, so the agony will soon be through.
human
How many have you circumvented?
gpt
Six to date. I'm going to tackle the minors to-night; plaintive little things, those minors, they get the heart-throb stuff.
human
Heavens! said Frank.
gpt
Why don't you hire a hall somewhere out in Hampden? I'll go halves with you to get rid of you.

Music did you say?

I say, Frank, chuck it and come down to the harbor. We are going to have a bit of a brush with the First Freshmen crew, and you've never seen your old pal hold the tiller ropes. Maybe I can get you into the launch. We go out at three. Where's Turner and David?
gpt
David is probably grubbing on his Lit. stuff, and there's no use in trying to get him. Jimmy went over to Chapel street to get something, and ought to be back here in a minute. Here he comes now. I'll go if he does.
human
Gee whiz, but it's a great day! Why don't you fellows get out? Not many more days like this between now and next May.
gpt
The Codfish has just invited us down to the harbor to see how well he can't steer a boat, and I said I'd go if you would. I've some French here, but there's no hope of doing it when this musical bug is doing his stunts.
human
I'm your man, said Turner, jumping up at once.
gpt
I know the coach and maybe we can get on the launch.
human
I'll attend to that, said the Codfish, majestically.

I haven't been knocking around that old boathouse two months for my health. You are my guests to-day.

Go it, old skate. So long as we get aboard we don't mind who does the trick.

Lead on, Macduff,
