The Half-Back

CHAPTER XIII
16/23

It was the third down and four and a half yards to gain.

Back went the ball to Post and he kicked.

But it was a poor performance, that kick, and only drove the pigskin down the side-line to the forty-yard line, where it bounded in touch.

But it delayed the evil moment of another score for St.Eustace, and the seats cheered.
"Twelve minutes left," announced Remsen.
Relentless as fate the St.Eustace forwards surged on toward the opposing goal.

Two yards, three yards, one yard, five yards, half a yard, always a gain, never a check, until once more the leather reposed just in front of the Hillton goal and midway between the ten and fifteen-yard line.
