smaller colleges before. but she has never before
put the onus for the defeat official. The men
state that they played poor game. but almost 10
a man they blame the umpire for his decisions
which. they say, practically cost them the game.
The Annapolis game was disappointing as
II might have BEEN the element OF luck entering
greatly the contest. This is shown BY the fact
that throughout the game Annapolis made only
nine first downs. while Pennsylvania made more
than thirty.
The game with Gettysburg should be hard one
and a repetition of the fumbling that marked the
Annapolis game may be fatal Coach Woodruff
