“What then?” inquired Dan.
“Why, you’ll retire in favor of your successor, that’s all.”
“You must see what my work is first,” said Dan firmly.
“Just what I intend to do. It’ll be clear to-morrow and we will get up a scrub game on the campus at two-thirty. We’ll have the diamond all to ourselves, for most of the fellows will want to see what the prospects for the eleven are. They’ll be down watching the football practice and we’ll have the field to ourselves.”
“How about Gus Kiggins? Will he come out?” inquired Walter.
“No. He’s out for half-back on the eleven this fall. I guess he’ll make it too,” replied Ned. “All the better if he doesn’t show up.”
“He’ll pitch for the first form, won’t he?”
“You can rest easy about that,” laughed Ned. “Gus will be on deck then. He loves the spotlight.”
“He is all right too,” said Walter.
