Rooster Long stopped drawing pictures in the dust with the toe of his shoe and looked up at his companion inquiringly. Garry Grayson, former captain and quarterback of the Hill Street eleven, shook his head doubtfully. "I don't think we have a Chinaman's chance of making the team our first year in high," he replied. "Lenox will have plenty of material, good seasoned material, to draw on from the three upper classes. No reason why they should turn to the freshmen for recruits."
