Suddenly the man flashed a bright beam of light on the ground, and made a quick motion. "Now!" whispered Ned. "Jump boys!" for it looked as if the intruder was about to open a window, and spring inside. The chums leaped together, and fairly bore the man to the earth. Down they came upon him, as if they were stopping a halfback, with a football, running around right end on the second down.
The last numeral called for a fake kick. So well was the strategy carried out that Lehigh was even trapped into spreading out a trifle. It was a left-end play again, however, and Dick and Greg, backed by all the rest, fought to put it through. Lehigh's halfback caught Prescott this time -caught him fair and full, and Prescott went down. Yet this had been intended.
He was none other than the famous Princeton halfback, Douglas Ward, whose record as an honored man in the classroom as well as on the football field was well known to all of us, and had stood out among college athletes as a wonderful example. He was very modest. I recall that some one once asked him how he made the only touchdown against Yale in the '93 game.
"Of course, Walter Camp has for many years, and deservedly so, been regarded as the father of football at Yale, but in my day, and at least until Baker left college, he was only an ordinary mortal and a good halfback.
Brown's particular pet phrase in urging his men was, 'Run low. So that he, whenever the halfback received the ball, would immediately start to holler, 'Run low, and would keep this up until the ball was dead.
Luther Price, who played halfback on the Princeton teams of '86 and '87 and who was acting captain the larger part of the latter season, tells the following story of the game: "Princeton's contest with Harvard in the autumn of '87 was the bloodiest game that I ever experienced or saw.
The next year the last year's crop of big farmer boys would stay at home to husk corn, and the coach would begin all over on a new crop. The result was, we were a dub school at football. Any school that could scare up a good rangy halfback and a line that could hold sheep could get up an adding festival at our expense any time. We lived in a perpetual state of fear.

But Dave, in drawing back as he had done, had stepped aside like lightning, and now he had gone so far that he had no opposing end to dodge. Instead, he darted straight ahead, leaving all of the forward line of the Rustlers behind. But there was the back field to meet! As Dave shot forward, Jetson, too, smashed over the line, blocking the halfback who got in his way.
Lane, the Fifth Form halfback, tried to go round the end on the next play, but made no gain. Then Westby was driven again at left tackle, but he got only two yards. Collingwood gave the signal for a criss-cross; Lane took the ball, and passed it to Westby, who was already on the run. Westby got clear of the St.
