Only one of them is a member of a university team: Rogers, hockey star, was elected treasurer. Orr, the president, is track manager, but has no other connection with the sports field.

This very nearly had occurred on a previous occasion and worried trainmen roped and chained the train securely to the track. The ferry left the pier, King Christian sighed with relief, inserted himself in the royal berth, went to sleep...
