Left Tackle Thayer

CHAPTER XIV
20/28

Why don't they make Brimfield open out ?" But evidently Chambers thought she could conquer by massing her attack, for once more she hurled her backs at the centre, and once more the Maroon-and-Grey yielded.

But the gain was less than two yards and only one down remained.
"Fourth down and about four to go!" cried the referee.
Chambers changed her plans then, strung her backs out along her line and shifted to the left.
"Here comes a trick," muttered Clint.
"I doubt it," responded Chase.

"It looks like it, and it's meant to, but I guess when it comes it'll be a straight line-buck with that careless-looking full-back carrying the ball.

I hope Innes sizes it up the way I do, for--" "Watch this!" Innes shouted.

"Watch the ball! Look out for a forward! Come in here, Kendall! Throw 'em back, fellows!" The Chambers quarter shouted his signals, the ball went to him, the two half-backs shot away to the left, the full-back plunged ahead, took the ball and struck hard, head down, at the left of centre.
