CHAPTER XXXI
ANOTHER VICTORY—CONCLUSION
"That's the way to do it!"
"What did I tell you? Oak Hall won't be in this game!"
"This will wipe out that football defeat!"
So the cries rang out. The great ice-hockey contest was but six minutes old, and amid a wild yelling and cheering Rockville had carried the puck down into the Oak Hall territory, and Mallory, their star player, had made a swift and safe goal.
"Wasn't that going some!"
"Three cheers for Mallory!" And the cheers were given with a will.
"Oak Hall! Oak Hall!" came the answering cry, and then the supporters of that school burst out into a new slogan:
"Ice hockey!
Nice jockey!
Oak Hall
Has the call!
Wa! wa! wa! wa! Whoop!"
"Oh, what a shame that Rockville scored!" sighed Vera Rockwell.
