Dodging with marvellous agility and craft three Army men who sought to bar his way, Dave went pantingly over the Army goal line---scoring a touchdown! What a fearful tumult ascended from the seats of the Navy's sympathizers over on the stands! The Navy had proved itself, by scoring the only touchdown.
Lieutenant Carney groaned inwardly.

Two to five now---and the Army coach saw no more hope of scoring for this day.
Flushed, happy, the midshipmen ran back to form their line for the try for goal.
That kick missed fire.

No matter! Five to two for the Navy, anyhow! At the signal the Army and Navy lined up to fight out what was left of time to play the game.
Naval Academy band and the whole navel crowd were having the jubilation all their own way.
The midshipmen, having proved slight superiority over the Army, could doubtless prevent more scoring in this game.
In fact, the Navy captain had just passed this wood to the members of his team: "Score, of course, if we can.

But, above all, keep the Army from scoring!" It was the Navy's turn to make the kick-off.

This gave the Army at least the chance of starting the running with the ball.
Prescott and Holmes had shown as yet no signs of cave in.
Every player on the Navy team looked to see this swift, tricky army pair make the first effort of the new series.
He carried it ten yards, too, ere he was obliged to go to the ground with the pigskin under him.
