The only difference between Irmschler’s run and Knox’s was the fact that the former came late in the game. while the ~latter’s occurred almost at the very start. The Tigers had the ball on Lehigh’s fo~rty-yard line when Pendleton called for a forward pass. The ball had scarcely left Bluethenthal $ hands Wien Vela, with Knox at his heels, came crashing through at Benfield, who was taking his time about getting the ball away.
