Breathlessly the larger part of the spectators watched to see Dick redeem himself.
But again he failed to make much of an advance with the ball.
After the second "down," with barely anything gained, Brayton ordered Boyle to throw the ball over to the right of the Army line.
So, in the next dash, Prescott and Holmes had but little to do.
The Army lost the ball.
Immediately it looked as though Ennis, captain of Lehigh, had heard all about the new Army left end and left tackle, for Lehigh's own sturdy right end came forward with the ball.

Dick and Greg both dashed furiously at him, but Greg was hurled aside by Lehigh's interference.

Dick, however, held Lehigh's right end dragged the Army man for a yard; then others joined in the melee, and the ball was down.
Lehigh advanced some twenty yards before being compelled to give up the ball.

It became more and more plain that the visitors intended forcing the fighting around the Army's left end.

At last, however, the Army balked the game, and returned to the attack, trying to regain some of the lost Army territory.
"They're going to pound us, Greg," whispered Dick in one of the pauses of the game.
