Hasbrouck took up the questioning with a critical appreciation.
"What position?"
"Guard and tackle."
"You know Bill Stevens?"
"Yes, sir."
"He spoke about you; said you played on the Military Academy. You'll try for the 'varsity?"
"I guess so."
Hasbrouck turned to Fire Crackers in solemn conclave.
"He ought to stand up against Turkey if he knows anything about the game. If we get a good end we ought to give that Dickinson crowd the fight of their lives."
"There's a fellow came from Montclair they say is pretty good," Fire Crackers said, with solicitous gravity. "The line'll be all right if we can get some good halves. That's where the Dickinson has it on us."
