It was suspected that the judge had been tampered with, but this was never proved. That several of the Olympic men knew all about the game was certain, but Jackson and one other were the only ones expelled from the club.
Before leaving Philadelphia Frank Merriwell and his party attended a banquet given in their honor by the Fairmount Club. It was a jolly affair, for young lady guests were present and everything pa.s.sed off finely.
There were speeches and toasts, and the mention of Merriwell's name always brought a tumultuous burst of applause.
A gay time was had for two days more in Philadelphia, their new-found friends doing everything possible to make the visit a pleasant one.
From the South came news that Harlow had escaped from jail by striking down a keeper. But he had been hit in the head with a club later on, and was now in the hospital.
"He won't come to trial just yet," said Frank. "And perhaps it is just as well."
"And now for Yale!" cried Jack. "Hurrah for old Eli!"
"So say we all of us!" shouted Harry.
And then a roar went up in which all of their new-found friends joined:
"Hurrah for old Eli! Hurrah for the brave boys of the Yale Combine!"
THE END.
