That was Gridley's specialty for this game, one long planned and worked for.
Quarter-back Winters again got the ball.
With a handsome forward pass he made it Thompson's, and it went to the enemy's seven-yard line. "Question---four!" appealed Cheer-Master Prescott, through the megaphone. Back from twenty boys on the home stand came the heavy query: _"Where's Cobber? Where's Cobber ?"_ From all the rest of the H.S.fans came the roaring answer: "Lost! Suitable reward and no questions asked!" Then the Cobber fans hurled back this hint: _"Brag's a great dog, Brag's a smart dog, Brag's a good dog, but----- Look out for the cat!"_ Cobber now developed their own famous bulldog tactics.
From the seven-yard line Gridley moved the ball less than two yards in three plays.
Cobber got the ball, and then other things began to happen.
