Of course pandemonium reigned for a few minutes! Then the spectators calmed down, and the ball was brought out for the kick. Time was up, but the rules allowed the try for goal.
Captain Alden walked steadily toward the ball, which was held by the quarter-back, and just as it touched the ground his foot struck it fairly and drove it over the bar between the posts. A goal! Two points more.
Score: Blackwood, 6; Winston, 5.
It was Seton Harris who got the credit of saving the game, but Mark Alden did not care.
"Buck was really the only man who could make that run," he said to himself, "and it'll do him lots of good to have kept his nerve in one tight place."
Besides, Blackwood was not beaten, and the game was done!
