"And this is the first I have heard of it!"
"They didn't talk so much at first," explained Ben. "It wasn't known then but your place could be filled easily."
"You were put in my place."
"Yes, but I should have been placed elsewhere if you had come on."
"And they think that would have strengthened the team?"
"Of course it would! I tell you the fellows have a reason to growl when they see Yale putting out a weak eleven while the best man in college refuses to get into gear and give a lift."
"What sort of man is this Marline?"
"A good runner and a pretty punter."
"Sand?"
"Guess so."
