So it was that, by the time the pair reached Tottenville, housed the car at a garage, and reached Tottenville's High School athletic field, the game was well on. As the two young men reached the grand stand the Gridley contingent were on their feet, breathless. Gridley had the ball down to the ten-yard line from Tottenville's goal. Captain Wadleigh's signals were ringing out, crisp and clear.
Tottenville's quarter got after fleeting Dick too late, for the whole movement had been one of startling trickery. One Tottenville halfback was too far away to make an obstructing dash in time. In dodging the other halfback Dick dashed on as though not seeing the fellow. This, however, was all trick.
"Brace up, you lobsters," growled Captain Grant of the home team, after the whistle had sounded on Tottenville's "down" with the ball. "Buck the simple Gridley youths. Wade through their line as if you fellows were going to dinner half an hour late. Don't let them wind you, or stop you!" Tottenville threw all its force into the following plays.
Just in the nick of time Prescott, still holding the ball, ducked and dodged far to the left, getting around his man. Tottenville's fullback was now the sole hope of the home team. Prescott, however, dodged that heavy fellow, also. From the Gridley boosters on the grand stand went up a medley of yells that dinned in the young left end's ears.
Dick seemed bent on beating down some of the formation surging against the visitors. Just as the bunch "clumped" Dave Darrin went down. There was a surge over him, and then Dick Prescott was seen racing as though for life. There was no opposition left -only Tottenville's quarter-back and the fullback.
