Dad, dad!" cried Philip, as he arrived home one evening. "I think I've been
selected for the school football team."
"That's good," said his father. "But why do you only think you've been
selected? Aren't you sure? What position are you playing?"
"Well," replied Philip, "it's not been announced officially, but I overheard
the football coach tell my teacher that if I was in the team I'd be a great
draw-back."
