in which the desperate playing has
seldom been equaled. The final score
was tie, both sides scoring touch

game was free from rough playing.
Through poor generalship on the part
of Captain Kennedy of Chicago in at
tempting to send Stacker through PENN
sylvania's left guard, he lost the ball
within two yards of the goal line in
the second half, and when, finally,
few moments later, Wellington was
pushed over for the tieing touchdown,
the Chicago captain missed an easy
goal. 1t was his attempt at fake
kick, too, that ultimately resulted in
