"Gosh, that does me out of a room-mate," said Judd, suddenly, with a mischievous glance at his brother.
"Not necessarily," spoke up Benz, "What do you say, Rube, to … er … bunking with me?"
Benz and Judd—room-mates! This would astound the college.
"I've been known to talk in my sleep," Judd warned, grinning.
"Yell and see if I care!" accepted Benz.
And so, feuds ended, there came to one Judd Billings the tingling realization of what real college spirit meant. It had taken him all this while to get back in step after starting in college on the wrong foot. He had developed so very much in the past few years from a timid, awkward youth at Trumbull High who had fought so hard to live up to his brother Bob's contract—and later, as a Freshman at Bartlett, unused to the ways of the fellows but with his old-time fear conquered. But now Judd knew, happily, that he was one with all the fellows for a cheer was being proposed in honor of "Bartlett's Big Four"—Bob and Cateye and Benz and—Rube! And the ones who were responding to this cheer the loudest were his own team-mates!
