Behind the Line

CHAPTER X
3/11

Fumbles were many on both sides, but Erskine's were the most costly.

Stone's fumble of a free kick soon after the second half began gave Woodby her second touch-down, from which, luckily, she failed to kick goal.

The veterans on the team, Tucker at left tackle, Graham at center, Cowan at right-guard, Foster at quarter, and Devoe at right end, played well with the glaring exception of Cowan, whose work in the second half especially was so slipshod that Mills, with wrath in his eye, took him out and put in Bell, a second eleven man.
With the score 11 to 6 against her, Erskine braced up and fought doggedly to score.

Neil proved the best ground-gainer, and made several five-and ten-yard runs around right end.

Once, with the ball on Woodby's twelve yards and the audience shouting vehemently for a touch-down, Foster called on Paul for a plunge through right tackle.
