"That's what we've got to decide on," said Roy. "I suppose we couldn't get nearly that much by subscription?"
Several shook their heads, and,
"I don't believe we could," said Chub. "But we might get half of it. If every fellow gave a dollar—"
"Seems to me," said the boy who had raised the question, "that the fellows who make the team ought to do the subscribing."
"I don't think so," said Jack. "If we made the football and baseball teams pay all their expenses I guess we wouldn't have them very long. It ought to be worth a dollar to every fellow here to have a good hockey team."
"That's so," assented Chub.
"Well," went on Roy, "I wanted to hear what you'd say about it, but I didn't think we could get the money that way, not all of it, I mean. So I thought of another scheme. Why couldn't we get up an entertainment of some kind and charge admission. How would that do?"
"Great!"
"Swell!"
"Fine and dandy!"
