"That very friendship will make all four of us fight harder than
ever we did in our lives before," spoke Prescott seriously.
At almost the very same moment Dave Darrin was saying about the
same thing to the captain of the Navy team.
"Humph! Do those fellows think they're posing before a moving-picture
machine?"
The one who uttered that remark was turnback Haynes. He had come
on to the field with a scowling face, and the scowl was likely
to deepen steadily.
Anstey, from his seat, had been "all eyes" for the pair whom he
now knew to be the heard-about Darrin and Dalzell.
All Anstey's further speculation was cut short.
The Army and Navy elevens were lining up to start play.
CHAPTER XV
HEROES AND A SNEAK
Turnback Haynes watched the game closely, darkly.
He wanted to note and to remember every play near the Army's left
end today. Should the Navy win the day's battle, then Cadets
Haynes felt sure he could make a large number of men in the second
class at the Military Academy believe that Prescott had allowed
his ancient friendship to stand in the way of an Army victory.
"Great Caesar, I might even succeed in getting to be president
of the class yet!" muttered the turnback.
