They started to bear down Holmes, but all of the Army team had been prepared for this move from the instant the last signal; had been called.
So it was the full force of the charging Army line that pushed Cadet Holmes through and over the goal line.
Over all the cheering that followed this manoeuvre came the call for time at the end of the game's playing time.

Yet, under the rules, the kick for goal was tried.
The kick failed---but who cared?
The finishing score was: Army, 11; Lehigh, 6.
Gone were all the doubts concerning Prescott and Holmes.

Now they were the most sensational players in the Army team.

Justly Brayton received his full share of credit both for taking on Prescott and Holmes at the eleventh hour, and also for carrying out so cleverly his own captain's part of the strategy that had won.
Lehigh's team went off the field dejected.

The visitors had counted on victory as theirs.
