[Left Tackle Thayer by Ralph Henry Barbour]@TWC D-Link bookLeft Tackle Thayer CHAPTER XIV 18/28
Instead, suddenly displaying a ferocity of attack never once hinted at in the first half of the contest, she hurled her fast backs at the Brimfield wings and bored through twice for two-yard gains. Then a fake forward-pass deceived the defenders and the Chambers full-back broke through past Innes and Blaisdell for a full six yards and another first down.
There seemed no stopping her then.
Carmine was scolding shrilly and Captain Innes was hoarsely imploring the line to "get low and slam 'em back!" With only fourteen yards between her and the last white line, Chambers played like wildcats.
A half fumbled behind the line, but the quarter recovered the ball and actually squirmed ahead for a yard before he could be stopped.
Another attack on Tyler netted three yards more. "Hold 'em, Brimfield! Hold 'em! Hold 'em! Hold 'em!" chanted the grand-stand.
