THE Quakers Lad an element OF luck in he first half which saved them from be- ng scored on. Brown secured the ball on her own 40-ysrd line, and by a series OF trick plays, line plunges and end runs arried IL to within six Yards OF the Penn Eylvania goal. Realizing their danger the Red and Blue braced in vain attempt 10 heck the fierce rushes or tho visitors. IL was a moment OF keen excitement for the spectators. The student body rose I’m the stands and wit cheers and yells implornd the Quakers 10 stand firm” The Philadelphia Inquirer says: The first half ended with neither side with afly, but i’m the second half Penn got go ing and scored touchdown after touch ! |iown sending her plays against the Brown line with force. ne first half was p great struggle and the honors belong 10 Brown. who rather outplayed the red land blue team.

J Hatch and Abbott also took the ball | gradually IT was carried TO Penn’s 7-yard |ne. where “A first down was made by six Inches. The play became terrific Penn struggled manfully, but her tacklng could not stop the Brown backs, who | bloughed through her tackles. Penn was | lacking too high to stop the rushes. The ball was advanced about two yards | at time until the l-yard line was reach | ed. A touchdown looked 10 be imminent. | as Brown there had a first down.
