Grafton had now to score at least five points to win. A field goal and a safety would do it, or two field goals or a touchdown, but with only ten minutes left none of those seemed very likely. When, however, Nick had sent Vail around the enemy’s right flank for some eighteen yards and followed it by breaking through the Brown’s center himself for six more, putting the ball on the St. James’ thirty-two yards just three minutes after the last period had begun, the Grafton supporters became more hopeful. Keyes smashed into the line twice for a total of five, and it was first down on the enemy’s twenty-seven yards. Then, when the Scarlet-and-Gray scented a touchdown or, at the least, a field-goal, Vail fumbled a pass and a St. James forward squirmed through and snuggled the pigskin beneath him. St. James kicked on second down and Bert caught on his own forty-three yards and ran back five. Grafton opened her line wide and passed obliquely to Vail and the right half dodged past two white marks before he was stopped. Delayed passes brought short gains and the pigskin was on the Brown’s forty. Keyes got two off left tackle, Bert failed to gain at the center and Keyes punted to St. James’ five-yard line. Tray stopped the quarter for little gain and St. James kicked from behind her goal after one weak attempt at rushing. Nick caught near the sideline at about the thirty-two yards and started a run that wrought Grafton to a condition of frenzied excitement. He passed four of the enemy, running straight along the white boundary, dodged a half-back near the fifteen yards and was only stopped when the St. James quarter forced him out at the eight yards. Grafton cheered exultantly and shouted “Touchdown! Touchdown!” and Coach Bonner, thus far chary of substitutes, sped four into the line-up. Yetter went in for Kinley, Weston for Nick Blake, Milford for Tray, and Zanetti for Vail. It was Zanetti who made the first try and gained two yards on a wide end run. That brought the ball directly in front of goal. From a kick formation Bert plunged at left guard and when the resulting confusion of bodies had been untangled the pigskin lay almost on the three yards. With the crowd yelling like mad, Keyes again went back and held out his hands, Nick called his signals and Roy Dresser, on an end-around play, carried the ball across the line almost unmolested, the fake attack on the center fooling the defenders completely! Just to prove that he could kick a goal, even if he had failed in his previous attempt, Keyes put it over from a wide angle, and Grafton’s score was 13. The period came to an end a minute or so later, the final score, 13 to 10, and St. James cheered a bit disgruntledly and Grafton quite contentedly.
