THE LAST TOUCHDOWN
"Line up! Line up!"
"Come on now, fellows, and don't forget that wing shift signal."
"Pass the ball over here."
"Say, Cap, give me a chance at some end runs."
"Work me through center all you want. I think there's a weak spot in their line."
"Come on, now, everybody line up!"
It was the Riverview football team at warm-up practice on the grounds of their rivals, just prior to the big game. I say big game, for the Racer boys and their chums so regarded it from their standpoint, though, it must be confessed that Waterside expected to win easily, and only gave their opponents a game in order to prove how badly they could beat them.
But Frank and his chums were full of confidence. They knew they could play well, and they were in the pink of condition. Of course there might be a slump, and a fumble is likely to occur in any game, to make or break it.
On the other side of the fine big gridiron the Waterside lads were at practice.
