“Then you had better make a date,” grinned Don. “Of course, if you’re afraid——”
“You know better!” retorted Dick quickly. “Let me run over the schedule. Let’s see!”

“We might play you Wednesday,” said Merriwell.
“Next Wednesday?”
“Yes.”
“But we have a game for Wednesday. It is not very important, but we have it arranged. We play a country team from Charlesford.”
“I am afraid that’s the only time we can meet you. If you’re so very anxious to play us, isn’t it possible for you to cancel this engagement with Charlesford?”
“Of course, we can do that,” admitted Roberts. “It won’t be much of a game, anyhow, for those fellows are not in our class. We made a date with them simply to fill in.”
“Then it looks like an easy matter to cut it out. What do you say, Roberts?”
