Pownall. who made the run. took the pass right in the midst of the Pennsylvanians and ran through half the team for the score. After the game, DR..

He advised that the distance to be gained in three downs be reduced from ten to five yards, or that a runner be allowed to receive assistance from at least one Of his interference. The game was surprisingly clean. Only four penalties were inflicted for assisting the runner, three times against Ursnus and once against Pennsylvania Penn Sylvania made eight substitutions. two men taking part twice.
