[The Mystery at Putnam Hall by Arthur M. Winfield]@TWC D-Link bookThe Mystery at Putnam Hall CHAPTER IX 8/12
Hogan and Jack were pounding on behind, and they stopped Cressy from blocking the Putnam Hall captain.
Over the line came Dale, to drop flat an instant later, out of breath. "Hurrah! a touchdown for Putnam Hall." "Now for a goal!" The wind was blowing strongly, yet Andy measured the distance well and kicked the goal, amid a cheering that could be heard half a mile. "Oh, wasn't that grand!" murmured Flossie Ford. "Perfectly lovely!" added Laura. "It's what we wanted," answered Pepper.
"Keep it up!" he yelled, and blew his horn with all his might. With nine minutes more to play, both elevens went at the game with great vigor.
The Dauntless team wanted at least to make a field goal--to tie the score.
But Putnam Hall held them back, and two minutes before the whistle blew made another touchdown and kicked the goal.
