“Even if we do win,” said Bob, “it does not excuse the athletic committee for their blunder in arranging this game. How in the world they came to do it is what I cannot understand.”
“I ’eard as ’ow they were divided hon the matter,” said Bradley. “John Warwick was against hit.”
“And he isn’t sore a bit!” grinned Smart, as usual meaning exactly opposite what he said. “He’s delighted over it.”
“It may be a mistake,” said big Bob; “but the report has leaked out that the committee was divided on the matter, and that Warne, the chairman, was compelled to vote to decide it.”
There came a knock on the door,
“Come in,” called Dick.
Earl Gardner entered.
“Have you heard the latest, boys?” he asked.
“The latest joke?”
“No; the latest news. Warwick has resigned from the athletic committee.”
