The sophomores recognized the timidity that some
of the freshmen had in revealing their bodies, and they made full
capital of it. The shyer the freshman, the more pointed their remarks,
the more ingeniously nasty their tricks.
"I don't mind the razzing myself," Hugh told Carl after one particularly
strenuous evening, "but I don't like the things they said to poor little
Wilkins. And when they stripped 'em and made Wilkins read that dirty
story to Culver, I wanted to fight"
"It was kinda rotten," Carl agreed, "but it was funny."
"It wasn't funny at all," Hugh said angrily.
Carl looked at him in surprise. It was the first time that he had seen
him aroused.
"It wasn't funny at all," Hugh repeated; "it was just filthy. I'd 'a'
just about died if I'd 'a' been in Wilkins's place. The poor kid!
They're too damn dirty, these sophomores. I didn't think that college
men could be so dirty. Why, not even the bums at home would think of
such things. And I'm telling you right now that there are three of those
guys that I'm layin' for. Just wait till the class rush. I'm going to
get Adams, and then I'm going to get Cooper--yes, I'm going to get him
even if he is bigger'n me--and I'm going to get Dodge.
