  Husky Penn Boys Hammer Delaware For Record Score PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.-Pennsylvania rolled up a score of SO to on Delaware College to-day on Franklin Field, setting a new high total mark for the famous old gridiron field. Penn simply crushed Delaware by it’s plays. Point after point was rolled up. apparemily without effort and when SO was reached it set record in the history Of the Red and Blue, while some 10000 spectators waxed enthusiastic. The game was the most one-sided affair to be staged on the Quaker grid iron in many years. Delaware was fortunate to get one first down agains. Penn, getting that one from the line Of scrmmage in the third period. through a splendid right end run which netted the visitors fully 80 yards. This was the only gain Of more than five yards which the Delawareans made throughout the game. The Quakers, on the other hand. went right through the lighter and less experienced line Of the Newark eleven. Time and again the Red and Blue backfield just toyed with their rivals and carried the pigskin down the field at will. 1t was all the same no matter who played for Penn. Dur ing the second half there was not a single first line player in the battle for Penn, but during the two quarters the score was rolled up more quickly than early in the game. Penn counted thirteen touchdowns, which were distributed almost evenly during the four periods No single player crossed the line more than twice, but nine different men each had a touchdown to his credit Lineup and summary:
