Show STUDENT LTFE But the cheers and praise that greeted each cf his star plays caused him to shudder and he sadly thought that he would rather hear one word of good cheer from Mary than all the praise of the all students combined “Say cut it out!” Feeling a slap on his shoulder Fred turned and there stood Harr’ — his roommate and the forward of the team — “Can’t you see” continued Harr’ “that the possibilities of this game depend on you? What will those students in there think if they see you out here moping around alone? Come back in and forget it” Together they went back and listened to the cheers The first half of the hotly contested game was over and the score stood S to 5 in favor of the visitors During the time between halves the coach had talked pretty strongly to the Blues particularly Fred And when the game started Fred determined to do his best For a time it looked as though neither team would score again But near the close Fred threw a beautiful basket from near the center The The crowd went wild cheers were deafening Fred instinctively looked up into the cheering crowd and there sat — or rather stood Mary cheering as lustily as any of the students He stood as one stupified “Center up” yelled the Referee As Fred ran over to his position he thought “now we must win” He jumped up knocked the ball back and sprinted over under the basket As the ball was passed to him he threw it at the basket and the other center fouled him But he scored When Harry was throwing the foul the whistle blew and the game was over : : !: As Fred opened the door of the dressing room to go out there stood Mary with her back to him talking with her brother “You better walk up with some of the girls” he was saying “coach wants me to go over to the house for some papers” “Why not walk up with me?” Fred asked “Glad to” she replied Together they went up town and needless to say Fred Wendell F ’00 won another game — |
