"Sure," answered Roy. "And we're going to lick the stuffing out of you!"
The rival captain laughed good-naturedly.
"That's right. We've had a dandy time playing you chaps and we'll be ready again next year. Good-bye."
"Good-bye," answered Roy as graciously as he could. "Glad you fellows came over."
He turned and found Jack beside him.
"Say, Jack," he asked, "what's the longest period of time you can think of?"
"I don't know," answered Jack soberly. "What's the answer?"
"One year," was the glum reply.
