Penn MEETS DEFEAT
But Considering Odds Against
Her Makes Good Showing.

Penn college football team went
down to defeat Saturday before the
fierce onslaught of the Ames eleven on
the athletic field at Ames. The final
score was Al to 0 in favor of Ames.
Penn was clearly outcIassed and play
ed against fearful odds. The first half
the "aggies" had everything their own
way, but in the second half Penn took
brace and made them fight for every
foot. During the first fifteen minutes
play in he second half Penn kept the
ball in Ames' territory all the time
and showed the fellows a merry time.
There was some star playing done by
anumbero of the team Lindley and Kent
showedup fine and Wood played an ex-
cellent game at left end when it is con-
sidered that he has been out for prac-
tice but two nights and barely knew
the signals. Boyle was unable to get
in the game on account of bad car
buncle on his hand. Pemberton play
ed well as usual and far out punted
the Ames man. He has made an ex-
cellent record this season; none of
his punts have been blocked. Lewis
made the longest runs made by either
team. Three times he circled Ames'
ends of so yards and won the admir-
alton of all the Ames players by his
excellent work. When it is considered
that the Ames team outweighed Penn
about twenty pounds to the man and
that they have about one thousand
more men to pick from than at our
home school the score is not bad. 1t
was far less than that run up by Ames
on either State Normal or Coe.
Penn's work was somewhat of a sur
prise to the Ames team who expected
much easier time and who had made
all kinds of wild predictions concern
ing the result of the game. In the
first half Penn kicked off to Ames, who
instead of trying to carry it down the
field booted it back close to PENIS
goal. This was entirely unexpected
and took the Quakers completely by
surprise. Penn Immediately was fore.
ed to punt and Ames returned it with
such speed that within the first three
and one-half minutes they had pushed
the oval over the .oal line. Ames
failed to kick goal. From this on
things looked blue for Penn. Ames
went down the field like a whirl wind
and piled up a score during the first
half of 33 to 0. Their gains we're made
almost entirely through the line by U.S.
ing a tackle back tandem formation.
Only few times did they go round the
end for a good gain, Toward the last of
the half Penn braced and Lewis sec
ond end run of so yards made things
look like touchdown but time was
called with the ball over Ames' fifteen
yard line in PENIS possession.
The second half was different
story. Penn got into the game in
good shape and for while there was
lull in the jubilant outbursts of the
Ames rooters Twice during this half
Penn almost-but once a bad tumble
cost them the well-earned touchdown
and the other time they were held for
downs Ames succeeded finally in
making two more touchdowns which
brought up the score to A to 0. An
derson was a good ground gamer for
Penn during this half and many times
bucked the line successfully.
Byle, Ebersole, Daniels, Tener, Knox
and Worden played the game for
Ames and are certainly stars. All
but one of the six touchdowns in the
first half were made by Tener.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows:
