Dick Merriwell's Glory Burt L Standish

In more ways than one Dick Merriwell had become the wonder of the Fardale Military School. His astonishing work in the football-game against White Academy was the talk of Fardale. By running with the ball the length of the field, he had made both of Fardale's touch-downs in the game, and, to crown these thrilling plays, he had kicked two clean goals. Naturally, at the conclusion of the game, the delighted cadets had rushed onto the field, raised the hero of the day aloft, and carried him about on their shoulders, cheering until they were hoarse. But there were some who took no part in these demonstrations, and they were the jealous enemies of the remarkable young plebe who had created such a sensation. Singularly enough, not a few of these enemies were in Dick's own class, being such envious chaps as Uric Scudder, Zeb Fletcher, and Jim Watson.
