The Half-Back

CHAPTER XXIII
5/21

Back to her line-bucking returned Yates, and slowly, but very surely, the contest moved over the lost ground, back toward the Harwell goal.

The fifty-five-yard line was passed again, the fifty, the forty-five, and here or there holes were being torn in the Harwell line, and the crimson was going down before the blue.

At her forty-yard line Harwell stayed again for a while the onslaught of the enemy, and tried thrice to make ground through the Yates line.

Then back to the hands of Wilkes went the oval and again the heart-breaking rout began.
YATES.

Harwell made her last desperate rally on her twenty-five yards.

The ball was thrown to Blair, who kicked, but not soon enough to get it out of the way of the opposing forwards, who broke through as the ball rose.
