Intermission was over and the second half was on.

The teams changed baskets and stood in readiness for work.

Once more Grace and Julia Crosby faced each other.

There was a malicious gleam in Julia's eye and a look of determination in Grace's.
With a spring, Grace caught the ball as it descended and threw it to Nora, who, eluding her guard, tossed it to Miriam.

With unerring aim Miriam sent the ball into the basket and the sophomores scored for the first time.
Their friends in the gallery applauded vigorously and began to take heart, but their joy was short-lived, for as the play proceeded the sophomores steadily lost what little ground they had gained.
