"What have you and Page been talking about tonight?" asked Dave.
"Why do you want to know?"
"So that I won't run the risk of boring you by talking oh the same subject."
"Well," confessed Midshipman Farley, "we've been talking about this season's football."
"Oh, dear!" sighed Darrin. "That's the only topic really worth talking about."
"Speaking of football," resumed Farley, "don't you believe that we have a stronger eleven than we had last year!"
"If we haven't we ought to walk the plank," retorted Dave. "You remember how the Army walloped us last year?"
"That was because the Army team had Prescott and Holmes on it," rejoined Farley quickly.
"Well, they'll have 'em this year, too, won't they?
"So Prescott and Holmes are to be out for the Army this year!"
