But Steve didn't realise the kind of a game he had been putting up.
If he had he would have credited "Boots" with more sense.
Tom, with two brand-new facial contusions to his credit, was relegated to the bench for the last round.
Perhaps "Boots" thought it only fair to allow Gafferty some of the decorations that Fowler and others were handing out! The first tried a kicking game in order to reach striking distance and, since she always had the better of the argument there, forced the second slowly and very surely back past the middle of the field.
Then Marvin, realising the futility of pitting Freer and himself against Norton and Williams and Milton, either one of whom could outpunt the second from five to ten yards, started a rushing game on his thirty-five yards, swinging Harris and Freer around the ends for small gains and himself taking the pigskin for a delayed plunge through centre that put the scrubs on their forty-five-yard line and gave them their first down of the period. But the next three tries pulled in only six yards, and Freer punted.
