This trick of wall scaling was really not difficult for football men in daily practice.
Dan's head was quickly above the gutter of the next roof.

He pulled himself over the edge.
"Stand by to catch the rope, Dan," shouted Dave.

"Throw it to him, Tom." Whizz-zz! whirr-rr! That rope was over the edge and in Dan's hands.

Dalzell raced to a chimney, taking two or three turns around and making fast.
"Come on!" he called down.
Harry Hazelton ascended the rope hand over hand, Reade following.
Then Greg Holmes went up.
Dave, in the meantime, was preparing the apparently lifeless Grace Dodge for the ascent.

As he gave the signal those on the roof above hauled away.
Grace was soon in a position of safety.
Then Dick, who had not, as yet, revived, was hoisted.
"Now, we'll haul you up," called down Reade.
"Forget it," mocked Darrin.
