  KEYSTONE VICTORY. Pennsylvania Scored 80 Points and Lafayette Nothing. and Lafayette Nothing. o PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2S.-Pennsylvania today defeated Lafayette in one of the heaviest scoring games of the season. The winners securing so points to none for their opponents. Although Lafayette played a lucky game they were completely outclassed, and this, too, in the face of the fact that Mackey and Vail did not play on the Pennsylvania team. AS Lafayette made such good stands against Pennsylvania last year they were expected to again hold them in check, and in consequence nearly 1000 people were IN attendance when the game was started. 1t is conceded that the local collegians put up by far the best game that they nave played this year. They showed a remarkably strong defense, and at no time did their opponents have the ball near their goal. The line and ends also were strong, and Knipes’ playing was of the phenomenal order. Williams playing at quarter back was surprise, and he IS worthy successor of Vail. Lafayette, in face of the big score that was being piled up against them, never weakened, and kept up a strong fight until the close. Sigman, Edwards and Voight played fine games for the visitors. Lafeyette’s fumbling in the first half was costly, at least four tOuch-dOWnS being made by Pennsylvania through their errors. Score, Pennsylvania 49, Lafayette 0.
