“Somebody did it.”
“Somebody has carried the report that I said the men are being overtrained. All right. It will not do any harm. Somebody had to say so, for it is true. It may serve to open Lorrimer’s eyes, so he’ll not push the fellows so hard. If it does that, I’ll have performed the greatest possible service for the eleven, even though I am dropped.”
“It can’t stand!”
“Lorrimer can’t drop you that way!”
“Why don’t you appeal?”
“His word’s not law!”
“Yes, you can appeal,” said Stubbs eagerly. “You must do that, Merriwell. Lorrimer has done this thing without authority. He’ll get called down for it if you make a fuss.”
“I shall not make a fuss,” said Frank. “I’m not going to raise a row just now. It might be the ruin of the eleven. It is a bad time to have anything of the kind occur.”
“But it’s better to raise a row than to be unjustly kicked out.”
“Not better for Yale.”
