“Where’s the Boy Friend?” asked Hazel curiously, turning to look at Frances.
“On the outs,” was the quick reply.
“How come?” inquired Lucile.
“Well, Joe said he wished Tut Miller would get a chance to play in the Greystone game—”
“Oh—oh!” protested her companions in chorus.
“Yes, that’s just the way I felt,” asserted Frances; “so we promptly had a row.”
“But why,” protested Jane, “should he want Jack Dunn to be taken out of the lineup. He’s a far better player than Tut.”
“I know, but I figured it out this way: Joe and Tut were at Huron Prep together, and Joe’s got an awful case on Tut. When football practice started, Tut went over big until Jack began to show what he was made of.”
“And naturally Joe sizzled when Jack got on the regulars and Tut was his sub,” finished Jane.
“Jack’s the better of the two, of course,” agreed Anne; “but I don’t fall for him the way the rest of you do. He seems to me to be rather too sure of himself.”
