CHAPTER XI
20/27

Whatever may have been said to the Brimfield warriors during that fifteen minutes' breathing space, it brought results.

Marvin speeded the team up and the men no longer allowed their opponents to get the jump on them each time.
In the first five minutes Brimfield was twice penalised for off-side play.

Marvin got away for a thrilling run along the side line soon after Morgan's kicked off, and placed the pigskin on the enemy's thirty-four yards after a gain of over forty.

Then Rollins, who was a heavily-built, hard-plugging chap, smashed the line on the right and, keeping his feet cleverly, bored through for six.
