  Penn State Runs Wild |0ver Fordham, $50; Rams Worst Rout NEW YORK, Oct. 1l.-Penn State strengthened its claim to one Of the top grid rankings in the East today by handing q subpar Ford ham team 75–⁠0 drubbing that went into the Rams record as the most lopsided rout in their history. Although Coach Bob Higgins of the unbeaten-untied Nittany Lions cleaned his bench Of his entire 3Sman squad, the invaders awed a small gathering of $4,000 <in the Polo Grounds with q display of raw power. Rushing over 40 points in second period attack, Penn State completely outclassed Fordham. which had been trying to cancel the game ever since its $50 rout in 1916. Jed Durkota, a husky senior wing back from Colver, Pa, who usually romps with the reserves behind starter Wallace Trtplett. smashed across the Fordham goal for four touchdowns on a 24-point scoring spree that boosted him among the Eastern leaders. Triplett added another pair and the rest were split among Joe Colone, Elwood Petchel, Bill Luther, Clarence Gorinski and Francis Rogel.
