Losing Streak

Anderson, who has been making a small killing at poker amonst his friends, sees a lovely 3L (3rd year law student), Chris Carlyle (Christine Belford), and wants to get to know her better. She lives in the Hamilton Society House, known for it pokerplaying, less than academically gifted upper classmen. She is bright, but because of her limited cash flow she exchanges room and board for her class ""notes"". Kingsfield tells her that he regrets the fact that the others get by ""on her coattails"". Anderson, who visits her at the Hamilton House, get sucked into their nightly poker game and loses to the tune of $800 and signs a countercheck for the amount (for which he know he doesn't have the funds). His gambling gets him behind in Kingsfield's class who gives more work to make up for his lack of preparation in class. The rest of the study group feels he is not fufilling his contract to the group, but they help him to get his extra work done and Ford through Logan gives him the money to pay
