“I’m a member of the Athletic Committee,” went on Sandy. “I called this meeting.”
“It takes a majority of the committee to call a session,” interrupted Ned.
“Well, a majority did,” responded Sandy. “Fred Jenkins, Peter Rand, and John Andrews, with myself, constitute a majority. There are only seven members. Now we’ve decided to have an election for a new captain,” Sandy went on. “There’s some objection to the present one,” and he looked at Bart.

“Plenty; ain’t there fellows?” asked Sandy, turning to a group of his friends.
“Yes,” came the rather feeble answers.
“I move that Lem Gordon be made captain,” called Fred Jenkins, evidently in furtherance of the plot Sandy had laid to oust Bart.
“Second it,” came from Peter Rand.
