"Wait!" Don kicked Tim's hands away from his ankles as, raised to a
sitting posture by Danny and Martin, his puzzled glance swept the field.
"Where's--where's everyone?" he gasped.

"If you mean the team," laughed Tim, "they're beating it for the gym."

"Oh!" said Don. "But--but what happened? They didn't"--his voice
sank--"they didn't do it, did they, Tim?"

"Of course they didn't, old man! We pushed them back three times and
we'd have done it again if the whistle hadn't saved them!"

"Then we won!" exclaimed Don.

"Surest thing you know, dearie! If you don't believe it listen to that
band of wild Indians over in front of the gym! Now are you ready to be
lugged along?"

"Yes, thanks," sighed Don.
