46- Red Talks with Sergeant Alden

Jerry, that's Pharaoh. He did. Did you see him take that ball away from Bruce Red? Yeah, but he was pretty lucky. Lucky. I don't know how you figure that.

But Bruce has been playing solo in India for years. No, not for years, Philip. He just said he had practiced with his father there a few times, and then he played just a little in England.

Well, that's more than Jerry's done. What happened then? I didn't see it. Juggen was lucky again. And what I mean this time he was really lucky. Come on, Bruce, go get him. Hey, come on. Tell me, Red. What did you say?

You wouldn't be out for Jerry of course. Why should I? And why shouldn't I root for Doc Campbell? He's my roommate isn't he? He's still with our east end of the field. Gee I think Jerry's the best rider of all the cadets out there. No he isn't bad.

Very

well. Oh, doubt Campbell. Yes sir? That was a good piece of checking you did against Dugan. Oh, thank you sir. Very good. Showed smart thinking. Dugan, you're going to have to watch that. Sort of foresee what your opponent's going to do and avoid him checking you. Yes, Alright, that's all. Take the ponies back to the stable.
