PROFESSOR CALLUM SCORES
There was now some practicable object on the part of the crew of the Riverview Hall four, as Frank and his chums had come to be called. The date for the race had not been definitely fixed, but it could not take place inside of two weeks, as Waterside was to row Milton for the closing race of the season.
"And if Waterside wins, which means that they will be the champions of the river, and if we beat Waterside," said Andy, "it means that we'll be the champions! Think of that!"
"Wake up, you're dreaming!" said Jack.
"Yes, turn over, you're on your back," added Ward.
"Well, it's possible," declared Frank, "though I don't hope for any such luck."
"Don't you want to beat 'em?" asked Andy quickly.
"Sure, but I'm afraid we can't."
