The Half-Back

CHAPTER XVIII
3/18

On a first down he punted the ball a long and rather low kick into Amherst's territory.

Joel bowled over an Amherst end who was foolish enough to get in the way and started down the field like an Indian warrior on the war path.

The Harwell ends were a little in advance but off to the sides, and Joel sprinted hard and easily passed them both.

Kingdon, the right half, gave him a good run, but he too was passed, and Joel reached the Amherst full-back just as that gentleman turned for the ball, which had passed unexpectedly over his head.

The goal line was but thirty yards distant.
