Rhoda screamed and lunged at Dennis' legs. "No! No! Stop it! Please!" Dennis teetered under her weight and the knife slanted downward across Frank's chest. It ripped a red gash as the door shuddered a third time. Dennis turned in that direction and crouched. The door splintered and flew open. Dennis lunged, like a line-bucking football player.
The score was made in the last eight minutes of the second half by fierce line-bucking, but not before half of the purple line had given place to substitutes, and one of the back-field had been carried bodily off the gridiron.
Back to her line-bucking returned Yates, and slowly, but very surely, the contest moved over the lost ground, back toward the Harwell goal. The fifty-five-yard line was passed again, the fifty, the forty-five, and here or there holes were being torn in the Harwell line, and the crimson was going down before the blue.
A long run might bring a touch-down if Erskine could again get a back around an end, but two minutes was too short a time for line-bucking; and, besides, Reardon had his orders. On the side-line the timekeeper was keeping a careful eye upon his stop-watch. A try by Neil outside of right tackle netted but a yard and left him half fainting on the ground.
"Good work, old man!" the captain shouted in his ear. "Great line-bucking!" "But almost a fumble!" came the sharp voice of Coach Jackson. "What was the matter, Fairfield? You nearly dropped the ball." "It wasn't passed accurately," asserted Tom. "Aw, go on! It was so!" snapped Sam. "Well, don't let it happen again," advised the coach. "Fumbles are costly they mean the loss of a game many a time.
Three yards, and the Sunrise team turned to a rock ledge as invincible as the limestone foundation of their beloved college halls. The center from which all strength radiated was Victor Burleigh. Against him the weight of the line-bucking plunged. If he wavered the line must crumble. The crowd hardly breathed, so tense was the strain. But he did not waver.
