The opposing line was quickly formed, and again the signal was given.

The rush line heaved, Joel sprang into the air, settling with a crash against the shoulders of Chesney and Murdoch, who went forward, carrying the defense before them.

But the ball was passed, and even as the Yates line broke the thud of leather against leather was heard.

Joel scrambled to his feet, assisted by Chesney, and streaked up the field.
The ball was overhead, describing a high, short arch.

Blair was awaiting it, and Kingdon was behind and to the right of him.
