PITTsBURG WORSTs HOMESTEAD II TO 0

| The p. A. G. football team, otherwise
known as the East End GYMS, met its first
defeat yesterday at the hands of the State
College team, but 1t managed to keep the
score down to 16 points 1t was a very
pretty game, the most active vet seen In
the city, and the P. A. G men are con-
gratulating themselves that NO more points
were made against them. Although the
game was called for o'clock, 1t was 4 be-
fore the men lined up, and then there were
between 1900 and 1900 people present
The State College boys had plenty of
friends on the grounds, and their colors,
blue and white, were conspicuously dis
played.
The State College team Is avery strong
organization and it plays a rapid game. No
time is lost in the study of the situation
and here the advantage of constant training
| at college is discernble. The men know
what they have to do and they do it we'll.
Their team work yesterday was excellent
and the work of individuals was brilliant.
They kept the P. A. C.'s moving
from the 'kick off, until time
vas called in each half Considering
the regulations of both teams, the game
was very clean. and comparatively free of
slugging or reprehensble work. There
4 was some slugging, and on one occasion .
regular scrap" appeared imminent, but
| the game was finished with the same teams
that went into the game at the start, tn ough
the umpire and referee kept q close watch
| on the men.
How the Teams Lined Up.
| Of the visitors Heppenstall was the only
one " no was not able to play, and his place
was taken by Hoskins Heppenstalls

grounds and watched the play. Prot.
Kirchner's place on the P. A. c. team was
taken by Gumbert, who showed a remark
able Improvement in his game since his first
appearance . few weeks ago. For the
visitors Taylor's work was perhaps the
most brilliant He went through cer-
ter in great shape, .and backed up by
the team, 1t was seldom that this kind of
| play failed to make q gain. Fay carried
the ball around the end and otherwise dis
tinguished himself Morrow, the LETT
tackle, managed to get through the rush
| line like flash, and Rothrock's work on
| the right end was of the best quality.
Harris on the other end could not have been
improved upon much, and at center Reed
| played even better than he did as slayer
| against the A. A. A.
Dibert's work for the P. A. G. 'swas away
ahead of anything else. He went through
the center, tumbled head over heels over
the teams and advanced the ball whenever
he took hold of 1t. Bert Aull made a couple
of brilliant runs and several good tackles,
and Martin, as usual, got In some great
work at stopping the runners Proctor and
Gumbert and Phelan and Captain Aull were
also credited with some good stops, and all
of the p. A. c. men worked with an energy
that was hardly expected of them. How
good their work was can be estimated from
the fact that the State College team was
beaten by the University of Pennsylvania
only by 20 to o, while the University of
Pennsylvania yesterday beat Princeton
to 4.
Hot Work From the Start.
The State College team took the ball, and |
the P. A. c. s the lower end of the field. |
The college boys gained ten yards on the |
wedge and then the P. A. C.'s captured the
ball on a tumble, but they were unable to |
make any headway and gave the ball TO the |
college boys on kick by Dibert by which |
they gained 20 yards. The P. A. C's took |
determined stand, and the college boys |
were forced to kick. Dibert caught the |
ball but was neatly tackled by Harris.a In |
the scrinmage that followedrGumbert, who |
had made brilliant tackle, was hurt, but !
he took his place in the line, and then the |
State College boys forced the P. A. C.'s |
back to within % yards of their goal. |
Dibert again kicked and put the ball at |
center and then by slow gains and contin- |
uous bucking the college boys took the ball !
down across the line, TAYLOR scoring the |
touchdown and Atherton kicking the goal.
The greatest gains on the part of the col
lege boys had been made by their superior |
work in crushing through the center Mar
tin, Dibert, Proctor and Captain Aull stop |
ped gains by attempted runs. No more |
points were made in this half, but the col |
lege boys had the ball inside the 25 yard
line. In this part of the first halt Bert Aull !
made great run to the right gaining Is
yards before he was stopped BY Taylor and
Rothrock. Gumbert was hurt second
time and Dibert made great stop. Reed
blocked a kick by Dibert in good shape and
through this the State College boys nearly |
made the second touchdown.
Fast Work In the Second.
In the second half the State College boys
got two touchdowns and one goal, and they |
had to work hard to get them. The P. A. |
on the wedge. Martin bucked through the |
line and rained five yards Then Proctor |
was tackled by Harris while running to the |
left, and the ball was sent to center by |
Dibert's kick. There was some fast and |
furious work on both sides. The college !
boys had vowed to score from 20 to 40 in |
the second hall, counting on having tired |
the Z. n. ". IN the ur6t nall, |
but they counted their chickens |
before they we're Matched. They, how
ever, after Is minutes hard work |
got the ball to the 15-yard line from the P. |
A. C.'s goal and here Fay got clear and |
carried the pigskin for a touchdown. Ath- |
erton again kicked the goal In the latter |
part of the second half, it looked very much |
at one time as II the p. A. G s would score. |
BY a series of kicks by Dibert and some |
good runs by Captain AulI and Gumbert
they managed to get the ball to within II |
yards of goal, but here the college boys got |
the ball and they carried it by sheer force
down to the line where Dowler. got the |
touchdown. by bucking. Atherton. how
ever, failed to kick goal and as it was dark |
and only three minutes more to play halt |
was called, the score being 16 to 0. The |
teams lined up as follows:
State College. Position. p. A. C.
Hoskins. Right tackle. .Gumbert
