The second received the kick-off and Marvin ran the ball back forty yards through a broken field before he was nailed.

Encouraged by that excellent beginning, the scrub team went at it hammer and tongs.

There was a fine old hole that day between Sawyer and Williams, and the second's backs ploughed through for gain after gain before the opposing line was cemented together again there.

By that time the ball was down near the 'varsity's ten yards and Captain Miller was frothing at the mouth, while the opposing coaches were hurling encouragement at their charges and the pandemonium even extended to the side-lines, where the school at large, in a frenzy of excitement, shouted and goaded on the teams.
Twice the first held, once forcing Harris back for a loss, and then Marvin called for kick formation and himself held the ball for Brownell.
What happened then was one of those unforeseen incidents that make football the hair-raising game it is.

There was a weak spot in the second's line and, with the passing of the ball to Marvin, the 'varsity forwards came rampaging through.
