"In the second half our opportunity came. QBy one of the shifting chances of the game we got the ball on about their 25-yard line ; one yard, three yards, two yards, four yards, we went through them; there was no stopping us, and at last — over, well over, for a touchdown. "Through some technicality in the last rush the ofiicials, instead of allowing the touchdown, took the ball away from us and gave it to Yale. They were right, probably quite right, but how could we think so? Yale at once kick...ed the ball to the middle of the field well out of danger. The teams lined up. "On the very next play, with every man of that splendidly trained Eleven doing his allotted work, Harold Weekes swept around the end, aided by the magnificent interference of Jack Wright, which gave bim his start. He ran half the length of the field, through the entire Yale team, and planted the ball squarely behind the goal posts for the touchdown which won the game. If we had ever had any doubt that cruel wrong is righted, that truth and justice must prevail, it BRINGING HOME THE BACON 253 was swept away that moment in a great wave of thanksgiving.
