But not yet did the full effect of the move come.

For Cobber was off-side and Trent burst through the line on a spurt that was good for thirty-three yards.
Two snappy line plays followed that made the Cobber boys feel the cold sweat ooze.

It would have been Gridley's first down, but a little slip penalized the home players for fifteen yards.
Most of the people of Gridley back in the seats wore now standing up in their excitement.

They had dreaded much from the bigger college boys, but now the spectators saw that Gridley could hold its own for strategy, ruse and speed.
Cobber lost its temper just a bit, now, before the smiling faces of these High School boys.

Some rough playing followed, but the home boys kept their tempers.
Soon Ben Badger signaled another fake kick formation.
