"Some catch, that!" broke in Spud. And all the others on the nine, and many of Sam's friends, said the same. Of course, Roxley was tremendously disappointed at the outcome of the struggle. Nevertheless, as was usual, she cheered her opponent, and was cheered in return. Then the two teams broke and ran for the dressing rooms, and the great crowd of spectators began to slowly disappear.
Dick was asked as he came down, breathing heavily. "No, not unless I'm put out," was the gritty answer. "You'll not be put out. That was the finest run ever made on this field." What had been said about Roxley going to pieces was, in part, true. Several shifts were made in the players, but this did not aid the eleven.
Following that, came a wild throw by the Roxley pitcher, and Frank dusted as fast as he could for third. "Now, Carson, hold him!" yelled a number of the Roxley followers to their pitcher. "Don't let him get in!"
Brill did nothing, so that the score now stood 4 to 1 in favor of Roxley. The fifth inning was a stand-off, neither side scoring. Then came the sixth, in which Frank Holden, the first baseman, distinguished himself by rapping out a three-bagger, coming in a few seconds later on a hit by the man following him.
With twelve minutes more to play, Brill kept up its winning streak, and secured another touchdown and goal and then a safety. When the whistle finally blew the ball was well in Roxley's territory. "Brill wins!" "Say, wasn't that a great game? All Roxley the first half and all Brill the second." "Talk about a team pulling itself together!
"There were," Sir Moses observes, "many persons waiting." He saw there Lord Roxley, Sir Robert Inglis, Sir Robert Adair, and many noblemen and clergymen. They were soon admitted to the King's presence, and were very graciously received. Mr Attwood read the address, and the King spoke a few words to each of them.
Brill had played against the scrub only, which was hardly a test of what it could do. The day for the contest dawned clear and bright, and early in the afternoon the visitors from Roxley, Hope, and other institutions of learning, as well as from Ashton and other towns, commenced to pour in.
By a toss-up, it had been decided that the game should take place on the Roxley grounds. As a consequence, the boys of Brill and their friends would have to go to the other college either by train from Ashton, or in automobiles or some other kinds of conveyances. "Of course, we'll take the girls, Tom," said Sam, in talking the matter over.
It isn't fair. Well, I don't care." And Dick whistled to himself, just to keep up his courage. He did care a great deal. At last he was ready, and he followed Tom out on the field. The Roxley team had just come out, and their friends were giving them a royal welcome. "Roxley! Roxley!" they shouted. "They are the boys to win!"
"We'll eat them fast enough don't worry," cried Sam, and then, with a toot of the horn, the automobile proceeded on its way to Roxley. "Some crowd, this!" "Well, I should say so! Say, this is the biggest crowd we ever had at any game." "And look at the new grandstand, all decked out in flags and banners!" "And look at the automobiles! We'll have to hurry up, or all the parking space will be gone."
