When they face off against Camp Mohawk, their only points come when Fink gets startled by an opposing player, tosses the ball in the air, and accidentally scores. Seeing that the guys are completely incapable of winning the game, Tripper decides that North Star is going to "lose with some self-respect" (which means pantsing the players on the Mohawk team and then running away).
