Mama shook her head too. “I certainly hope all this can get worked out before the big Bear Country–Beartown game. But I’ve been wondering. How would you feel if Bertha Broom did wind up on the team?”

“That’s just it,” Brother said. “I don’t think I’d mind—not if she was really good enough to play. The more I think about the whole thing, the more I remember that awful look on Bertha’s face when the coach bawled her out and sent her packing. It might take a little while, but I’ll bet the guys could get used to her being on the team.”

“As the starting quarterback, your opinion should carry some weight in the locker room,” said Mama. “What would happen if you told the team how you felt?”

Brother rolled his eyes. “They’d just make fun of me. They’d call me a ‘girl-lover’ and stuff like that. Except for the ones who’d call me a ‘traitor,’ that is. Most of them are real stubborn about this, like Papa. If there were just some other way to get them to let Bertha try out …”

Mama looked down at Brother with a twinkle in her eye. “But you just said it yourself a minute ago!”

“What?” asked Brother.

“That the Bertha Broom problem is wrecking the whole season. If you pointed that out to your teammates and the coach …” Mama let her voice trail off to give Brother a chance to finish the thought.

Suddenly Brother’s eyes grew wide. “… then maybe they would let her try out just to get it all over with!” he exclaimed. “None of them think she can make the team, anyway. So they might go for it!”

“Good idea,” said Mama.

“Yeah! Glad I thought of it!” Brother cried. And he raced to the phone to call Cousin Freddy.
