Just in the nick of time Paunceboro made a safety, and thus sent the ball back up the field. But it cost Paunceboro two reluctantly-given points, and that was the score -two to nothing. Gridley was still victor in every game so far played in the season. November was now far along, and there remained only the great Thanksgiving Day game.
Then, by the time that Paunceboro had grown used to end dashes, Gridley would make a smashing charge at center. All these styles of attack, however, Paunceboro met smilingly. In the first half there was no score. Yet Paunceboro did not succeed any better in getting through or around Gridley's line of flexible human steel.
Until within ten minutes before the close of the second half, it looked like a tie between giants of the school gridiron. Then, by a series of feints in which Prescott, Darrin, Drayne and Hudson bore off the most brilliant honors, although all under Wadleigh's planning, Paunceboro was sorely pressed down against its own goal line.
The game with Paunceboro High School came off, one of the most stubbornly fought battles that Gridley had ever entered. It seemed impossible to score against this enemy. Again and again Dick broke around the left end in a spirited dash, or Dan Dalzell made one of his swift sorties at right end.
