Left Tackle Thayer

CHAPTER XI
24/27

The Orange-and-Blue was now in possession of the ball on Brimfield's twenty-six yards, and it was first down.

Coach Robey rushed Hall and Churchill back to the line-up, evidently well weighted down with instructions, and, after a conference with clustered heads, Brimfield faced the enemy again.
Morgan's adopted old-style football with a vengeance and hurled her backs at the line between tackles.

Twice she was stopped, but on a third attempt Brimfield broke squarely in two where Thursby was substituting Captain Innes and half the visiting team piled through.

First down was secured on another attack at the same place and the ball was on the defender's sixteen yards.

Two yards more came past right tackle and two through centre--Morgan's had discovered the weakness of Thursby's defence--and the ten-yard line was almost underfoot.
