The Pennsylvania team grouped 10 meet IT, and the two teams crashed on the 55-yard line Miller nimbly extricated himself and spr.nted for the side line. Captain Mercer dashed across the field 20 intercept him, but slipped. and Miller raced by with only Harrington. the halfback. after him. States quarterback was too fleet OF foot however. and beat his pursuer TO the goal line by three yards II was the first time IN twelve years that a touchdown had been made on Pennsylvania from the initial kick-of.

From this point State carried the ball over in three plays. King Jumped along the side line for twenty-five yards before he was forced out OF bounds. Barry could not gain an inch, and Miller decided on an end run, carrying the oall himself With marvellous skill ne lodged, backed up and side-stepped half a dozen tacklers until he had a clear field Tor a thirty-fve-yard run and a touchdown. The third touchdown was even more spec tacular than the first. Because OF a FUN BILE which Barry recovered state was forced back 10 the 5-yard line This made II necessary for Mauthe to kick from behind the goal line. He sent a high twist ing punt 70 Marshall. which the latter al , lowed to get away from him. Barry was down almost with the ball. As il bounded he scooped il up and before Pennsylvania = backs realized what had happened he was spriuting down the field with a ten-yard lead lie completed his siXty-yard run for the third score without opposition. Pennsylvania a few minutes later tried 70 rush the ball out from the 3O-yard line bur was obliged 10 kick. Thayer. who had replaced Mercer. made a poor Kick and it was blocked by Barry. Harrington chased the ball as it rolled back over Pennsylvania’s goal line and fell on il for safety. With the advent of Pennsylvania sec ond string Of hacks the play Of the Quaksrs improved and throughout the second period the Quakers not only held State IN check. but outplayed the visitors I’m decisive fashion. lust before the close OF the first half the Juakers got their only score. \ poor Kick bv Afauthe gave Pennsylvania the ball on States S5-yard line. on the next play Minds. who had replaced Barr, took the ball for an end run.

  West Point Might Hold Top Rating Penn’s Defeat and Trouncing Brown Received Boost Cadets Stock With Harvard, Trinity and Pennsyl- vania State scored upon Saturday for the first time this season, and Brown suffering her initial defeat, the West Point Cadets, in the opinion of the football experts, hold the top rating today in the struggle among the east ern colleges. As the West Point schedule for the next three weeks is light one, foot- ball followers believe that the cadets will maintain their place, at least un- til the culminatipg game with the Middies. Harvard had an unexpectedly easy time defeating Brown. 20 to 6, on Sat- urday, and the same could be said of the Pennsylvania State College, which won from the University of Pennsyl- vania, 22 to 6. “A week ago Brown de- feated the Quakers. 6 to 0. Princeton defeated Holy Cross, 20 to o, at Princeton. Brilliant individ- ual running and the successful use of the forward pass and onside kick were the contributing factors in the Princeton victory, but when it came to straight football the Holy Cross eleven more than held their own and gained more ground by rushing than any team which has faced Princeton so far this season has been able to do. .f
