They Never Gave the University of Penn.
sylvania Boys a Show.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 7-Princeton,
"a; University of Pennsylvania, 0. The score
tells the tale. From the very start the Uni
versity team was outplayed by the men from
Jersey and never were given chance to
score. Princeton's score WAS made from
touchdown in. the first half from which
Homans failed to kick goal, three goals
from touch. downs in the second half and
safety touchdown that SIZE forced the Penn
sylvania boys to make.
The game was played OF the grounds of
the Germantown Cricket Club at Mannheim
and 1900 people cheered the battling teams
as they struggled for victory.
The game was scheduled to begin at 23O,
but it was quarter of an hour after that when
time was called. The two teams as thew

sypher; right-guard, Fowler; centre, Adams:
iett-guard, Thornton; left-tackle, Mackey;

Warren, rigkt-end; Flint and Poe, half backs:
Romans, full back; King, quarterback.
The referee was Mr. Graves, of Yale and
the umpire, Mr. Coffin, of West Ryan.
AS the two teams stood facing each other,
they seemed nearly evenly matched in weight
ana size, and the expectations OF the crowd
for closely-eontested game were materially
raised. Pennsylvania started the game with
~" Camp having the ball. Pennsylvania's
wedge was broken by the Princeton forwards
and Camp was downed after gain of ten
yards had been made. Pennsylvania soon
lost the ball and Flint advanced 1t five Yards
for Princeton.
1t soon developed that Princeton's rush-Iine
was lar superior TO that of PennsYlyania,s
and could break through almost at will
Again. in team work was Princeton far ahead
OF her opponent. Nevertheless in this half
pennsylvania made gallant struggle, and
although she could not get the ball far from
her goal posts she kept Princeton from scor-

down Tor the half to one touchdown Flint
Tor Princeton, and Branson, for the Uniyer-
sity, did most of the work for their respective
teams In the first half. Both teams tried
bucking through the centre, and occasionally
sending man around the ends.
Poe, after fine run of thirty wards. made
a touchdown, but the umpire had the bah
brought back and given to Pennsylvania ON
the ground that Princeton had fouled the
former by holding. Gradually Princeton
forced the ball down to within two yards of
Pennsylvania's goal line. The ball was
passed to Flint, who lowered his head and
charged straight through PennsylVania's rush
line and touched the ball down. Homans
failed to kick the goal. In the struggle that
took place over the line, Thayer, Pennsyl-
vania's full-back, was kicked in the head and
forced to retire, Martin taking his place.
Martin Immediately distinguished himself by
making run OF forty yalds, but 1t was Penn
sylYania's last effort.
When at the end Of forty-fYe minutes time
Was called, Princeton had again driven Penn
sylYania to within five yards of her line.
After an intermission Of fifteen minutes the
TWO teams again lined up, Princeton having
the ball and the opposite goal from the pre-
