    N IEw HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 13.- nj A gallant band of Pennsylva- / MIA sophomores surprised 26,- 900 half-frozen spectators here today by holding Yale’s heavier eleven to a 14–⁠6 margin in a game the Bulldog was figured to take pretty much in its stride. With couple of hardy backs, War wick and Kurlish, leading the proeessions, Penn escaped a shut-out by storming 80 yards down the field to the Yale 2-yard line late in the third period and then scoring on the first play of the last quarter. Previously, Yale had registered two touchdowns, the first on a thrilling 62-yard gallop by Stratford Morton five minutes after hostilities began, and another in the third when the Blue took the cover of the aerial attack that was responsible for their lone score against Columbia last week.
