But morning always brings new courage, and Monday morning made no exception in Dick’s case. The sun shone radiantly, there was a pleasant crispness in the breeze which blew through his window and things looked a heap better to him, although, actually, conditions had not changed a bit since midnight! At breakfast he neglected his eggs while he searched anxiously through the Springdale paper for its account of the Clearfield and Lesterville game. And when he had read it he sighed his satisfaction. Not a word was said about Morris’s injury. That incident had gone unnoticed, or so it appeared. Lesterville, Nov. 4: [he read] Clearfield High School won an interesting and closely contested game from the home team here this afternoon, 3–0. The visitors showed more team-play and were better able to gain outside of tackles. Neither team had enough punch to put the ball over the line, Clearfield making the only score by a field-goal in the first period, Brent kicking from the twenty-yard line. Nothing new in plays was shown by either team. For Lesterville, Norris, fullback, played a fine game and Purdy, at quarter, ran the team well. Lesterville’s line was slow and the opponent owed many of her gains to the fact. For Clearfield, Captain White played his usually brilliant game and was well assisted by Hansard and N. Beaton, and, later, by Brent, who went in for Beaton. Many substitutes were used on both sides. The local paper, which gave nearly a half column to the event, mentioned the injury to Morris, but gave no hint of its seriousness. Dick was well satisfied and returned to his breakfast with a good appetite. Morris’s absence from school that day went unnoticed. On Tuesday he appeared, a little gloomy, but showing no sign of anything wrong save a slight limp when off his guard. All that week he reported at practice and no one outside of the field guessed that he spent the time sitting disconsolately on the bench, wrapped in a blanket, or in coaching Tupper and Nelson Beaton at kicking goals! On Friday the public was admitted to the enclosure, but there was no scrimmage by the Varsity and the fact that Morris didn’t even participate in signal work or give an exhibition of his booting ability caused no comment, since it had been understood all the Fall that Morris was being taken care of and given only enough work to keep him in condition. On Saturday, when Weston faced Clearfield, there was no good reason for kicking field-goals since the Purple found no trouble in doing pretty much as she pleased with her opponent, and so again Morris’s absence occasioned no surprise. He was much in evidence along the side lines, dressed for play, and if he wasn’t used it was plainly because Coach Lovering chose to score by rushing rather than by the aërial route.
