  POOR HEADWORK. FAULTY DEFENSE, COST PENN GAME Absence of Berry Helped Give Penn State Her Victory DROP-KICKS OVERLOOKED ~ LII w <NASb DODIlINC Pennsylvania joins Yale at the foot of the big Six” football class. The same elements that contributed to Yale’s defeat a week ago by Notwithstanding inability to tackle and poor Judgment in the selection of plays at critical moments also helped to give the Penn State eleven a well-merited 1s-to-S victory on saturday. It would not be fair to State to at tribute her triumph to these causes alone, for, especially in the second half, State played splendid football, better than Pennsylvania did in the first half. But a careful analysis Of the game will convince any impartial observer that the failure of certain Pennsylvania players to execute ordinary rudimentary football contributed more to their downfall than did the superior strength of State. States strength increased in direct proportion to the frequency of Pennsylva- MAS errors. In analyzing Pennsylvania’s game with State College the reader must not confuse the emphasis placed upon the glaring err rors of tho Pennsylvania backs with a desire to withhold the least credit from State for its great victory or to belittle the power of the visitors running attack in the third period. The ground-gaining OF the State backs in this quarter was the finest offense of this sort that has been seen on Franklin Field In a long time. 1t was almost as good as that Dartmouth attack last year. In fact, It was a duplicate OF the plays with which Dartmouth overwhelmed Pennsylvania in 1914. for II was taught them by Larry Whitney. Dartmouth’s s great halfback, who is now States field coach.
