CHAPTER XXIV
TREACHERY
Mr. Hamilton arrived at Kentfield the day before the game with Mooretown. Dick welcomed his parent enthusiastically, and introduced him to all his chums, with whom the millionaire was soon on friendly terms.
"You'll have a chance to see us play, dad!" cried the captain. "You'll go Mooretown with us; won't you?"
"To see you beaten?" asked Mr. Hamilton quizzically.
"Not much! We'll wipe up the gridiron with them!" cried Ray Dutton. "We've got to, if we want that loving cup," he added with a laugh, "and Blue Hill, too."
"Well, I guess I'll come," assented Dick's father. "But I have some business to transact first."
"I'm afraid you won't transact much of it," spoke Dick in a low voice. "Mr. Duncaster is very obstinate."
"How are you going to Mooretown?" inquired Mr. Hamilton.
