The Half-Back

CHAPTER XIII
21/23

The line blocked long and hard.

One step forward, an easy, long swing of his right leg, and Joel sent the ball sailing a yard over the upstretched hands of the opposing line and far and high down the field.
There it was gathered into the arms of the St.Eustace full-back, but ere that player had put his foot twice to ground he was thrown, and the teams lined up on St.Eustace's forty-five-yard line.
