by Pennsylvania eleven against Gettys-
burg College. In halves of twenty minutes
each the Quakers were able to score only
twenty-one points. The light and speedy

famous battlefield put up a fair game The
red and blue was handicapped very much,

slow in starting. interference was not

lose his footing before he reached the line
of scrimmage. Fumbling was also notice
able, but the wet sphere was also RESPONSE
