When the third period opened Trafford kicked off and St. James again started her smashing at tackle and guard on the left, but the gains grew shorter there and she switched to the other wing and finally got her left half around Tray for a twenty-yard sprint that laid the pigskin in dangerous proximity to the Scarlet-and-Gray goal. Some hard fighting followed, with St. James digging her cleats valiantly and smashing at everything in sight. Hugh got very excited at this period of the contest and squirmed about on his seat in a most un-English manner. Grafton took the ball away on her twelve yards and the stands cheered with joy and relief. But the joy was short-lived, for Keyes punted miserably from behind his goal line and the ball was St. James’ again near the twenty-yards. She got five on the very first play between Kinley and Franklin and followed it with three more off Franklin. The latter was hurt in the play and Parker took his place. St. James lost slightly on a run around end, but gained her distance on the next down when a fake kick developed into a line-plunge through center. Grafton, flocking along the edge of the field, implored her warriors to “Hold ’em!” But with less than ten yards to go and four downs at her command the prospect looked extremely good for the visitor. A plunge at Kinley was stopped for no gain. Then a complicated crisscross play sent a half-back past Captain Trafford for three yards, Tray being boxed to the king’s taste. Grafton began to breathe easier then, but the third down added two yards more when the St. James full-back tore through Kinley. That brought the ball to the five-yard line, and the Brown team arranged itself for a try at goal. Ted Trafford diagnosed the play as a fake and Nick hustled his back-field close in. When the ball went back it was caught by a half who faked an end run and then, when the left wing of the Grafton line had been drawn in, threw across to his right end. That youth had only to drop across the line to score the touchdown. In fact drop was all he could do, for Bert tackled him the moment the ball settled into his hands. The punt-out landed the pigskin directly in front of the crossbar and St. James added another point, bringing her total to 10. The whistle sounded a moment later.
