Again Hester deftly returned it.—Page [92].
"Foul on the freshmen," she cried. "Right guard used two hands to cover."
"I think you are mistaken," cried Berenice. "I wasn't playing. Hester Alden's arm was raised, but it did not touch her opponent."
"Yes; I did!" cried Hester. "I touched her and then remembered."
"I didn't know. It must have been a very slight touch," said Louise.
"We've scored," cried Berenice.
"I am refereeing the game. Foul on the freshmen." Determination shone in Helen's eyes as she gave Berenice a look that would have subdued a sensitive person. Turning about, Hester tossed the ball to Louise who made a goal from the foul of the freshmen team. The ball went back to center and the game again was on.
At the end of the first half, the score stood six to eight in favor of the sophomores.
