Then he was holding Roberts off as best he could, neck and hip, and Kendall, the 'varsity right half, was cutting in.

With a lunge, Clint pivoted around Roberts and tackled hard and firm as the half-back came through.

He was dragged a foot or two before his secondary defence hurled itself against the runner, but the gain was less than a yard and Turner thumped him ecstatically as he pulled himself out of the pile.
"That's the ticket, feller! Run him out and get him! Third down, second! Stop 'em now!" The second didn't stop them, but it made them resort to a fake-kick to get their distance on fourth down.

From the fifteen yards Kendall tried a field-goal and missed narrowly and the second put the ball in play on the twenty yards.
The first play went through for two yards on the other side of the line.
Then came a criss-cross, with the runner plunging at right guard.

Clint started with the ball and had his man out instantly.
