Dick and Dave Darrin were called into play as soon as the visitors had the ball in their own hands once more.
The "trick" signal sounded from quarter-back's lips.
"One—-three—-seven—-eleven!"
There was instant, seemingly sly activity on the part of Gridley's right wing. Those from Gridley who stood on the grand stand thought that the coming play looked bad in advance.
"Why don't they use Prescott again?" asked some one anxiously.
"He has been having a vacation."
Then followed the snap-back. Quarter-back started with the ball, and it looked as though he would dash for the right.
The quarter took one step, then wheeled like lightning, and rushed after Darrin, who already was in swift motion.
Gridley's whole line switched for the left.
Tottenville found out the trick after the heaviest fellows in its line had started for Gridley's right.
"Oh, Darrin—-sprint! Oh, you Prescott!"
