Ebbett, who followed, hit at the third offer, driving the ball almost under the feet of Lehigh's right-fielder. As that man seized it he saw that Greg was within kicking distance of second bag, so he threw to first and Ebbett was out. Dick now stepped confidently forward. He looked at Lehigh's tired pitcher with a challenging smile. At the first offer, Prescott struck the leather sphere -crack!
Immediately it looked as though Ennis, captain of Lehigh, had heard all about the new Army left end and left tackle, for Lehigh's own sturdy right end came forward with the ball. Dick and Greg both dashed furiously at him, but Greg was hurled aside by Lehigh's interference.
And these stalwart college boys before him seemed to him to be the old, old Tottenville High School youngsters. One strike Greg essayed and lost. At the second offer, he hit the ball a sharp crack and started. He reached first, but as he turned, the ball fell into the hands of Lehigh's second baseman, and Greg fell back to safety at first.
But Dick was seen to come out of it, while Greg rolled on the grass with the fullback. "Touchdown!" The air trembled with the vibration of that surging yell as Cadet Prescott raced across Lehigh's goal line. "Humph!" ejaculated Haynes. But he, too, was on his feet, watching the lively performance. Then the pigskin was carried back for the kick for goal, and the goal was made. Lehigh was tied!
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.
