Blue Bonnet learned before dinner was over that Billy was the illustrious half-back on the Harvard team; had contributed much to the game she had seen in the autumn; that Hammie McVickar also shared honors. The meal passed all too quickly, and Annabel and Blue Bonnet left the dining-room reluctantly.
Then Tug would call out some eloquent gibberish like "Seventy-'leven-three-teen," and that meant that on the first down the full-back was to come in on the run, and take the ball through the enemy's left-guard and tackle; on the second down the right half-back was to crisscross with the left half-back; and on the third down the right-guard was to scoot round the left-end.
"I'm so glad you think so," she said enthusiastically; "I have watched her, too, and I think she could hold her own as half-back." "Oh, that reminds me," exclaimed Miss Phillips, "I think Daisy Gravers could play full-back." The team was complete. It became apparent that Marjorie was anxious to dismiss the subject, for she rose to go. "But we have only one substitute," remarked Miss Phillips.
If he could only have been sure of his half-back he would have been quite happy; and never a practice passed without his growling louder than ever at the disgraceful custom of sending useful behind-scrimmage men to Coventry.
Clint had chosen the opposing tackle as his prey, had swung him out and broken through somehow between him and guard. A half-back had thrown himself in his way, but Clint had staggered over or past him and leaped desperately into the path of the ascending ball.
Paul Courtland stepped to his door and threw it back. "Come on, Court, see the fun!" called the football half-back, who was slopping along with two dripping fire-buckets of water. "What's doing?" "Swearing-match! Going to make Little Stevie cuss! Better get in on it. Some fight!
In the early history of the game a half-back, and even back, did not consider it infra dig. to dribble a bit and bring up the ball to goal, provided the match was against a much weaker club, and while Ker was a grand back and beautiful kicker with his left foot, he was also an accomplished dribbler.
Still, what did she mean by an errand? It might be anything. "You see," she explained, "I happened to remember that you were going to begin studying law this year, and that you were just the person who wouldn't mind doing what I want." "Divorce!" thought the half-back with a shudder.
But the Chambers left wing had been neatly drawn in and Steve Edwards had nearly a clear field in front of him when, ten yards from the side line, he saw his chance and dodging behind St. Clair and eluding the Chambers right half-back, he fairly romped across the line! "That," shouted Amy, whacking Chase on the back, "is what is called strategy! Get me? Strategy!"
Eustace right half, and the two were left behind on the turf. Beside Fletcher, a little in advance, ran the Hillton captain and right half-back, Paul Gale. Between them and the goal, now forty yards away, only the St. Eustace quarter remained, but behind them came pounding footsteps that sounded dangerous.
