At another time Don Scott might have realized that he had entertained similar convictions regarding Leon, but just now he exclaimed:
“And you never did a thing? Why, I’d walked out to him and showed him if I lacked nerve!”
“And got chucked off the team for your pains. But I’ll show him! I’m going to stay on the team, and I’ll bet ten dollars Mr. Dolph Renwood will get kicked off.”
Don looked at his companion with new interest.
“How do you propose to bring that about?” he asked.
“Well, I don’t know just now, but I’ll do it. I have an idea that Renwood doesn’t care a snap whether Rockspur beats Highland or not.”
“Then, why is he coaching the team?”
“Just to show off what he knows. I tell you, Don, if you and I stand together, we can floor that fellow.”
“But I’m out of it; I’m no longer on the team.”
“I am, and I’ll report to you anything that may be of interest. I’m going to lay some snares to trip Mr. Renwood, and I may need your help. If I do, can I count on you?”
