    PENN IS POWERFUL SMOTHERING BROWN Elverson and Murray Again Head Attack as Quakers Roll Up Score Of 48 to 6. Hy the Associated ETcbS. PHILADELPHIA. October 24-pre- L else in the air and ponderous on the ground the University of Pennsylvania foot ball team put aside Brown University with ease today, 48 to 6, before $1,000 at Franklin Field. Piling up q pair of touchdowns in each of the first three periods, Penn’s deceptive backfield functioned brilliantly behind the powerful line that dashed Princeton’s hopes q week ago and gave strong evidence today Of being one Of the best in the East. Again 1t was Lew Elverson and Franny Murray who set the pace for the Quakers against the hapless Bears. Elverson scored two Of the Penn touch downs, while Murray made q like num- Der and booted five extra points in Q row from placement.
