PENN WINS POOR
GAME At FOOTBALL

The University OF Pennsyivanla football
team st Philadelphia yesterday rolled VI
q score OF 81 To against the heavy
Medico-Chirurgical eleven OF this city.
This game took the place OF the Ursinus
contest. which was cancelled by the lat
ter.
Although the Quakers won as they
pleased. the coaches were far from sat
isfied with the form exhibited. Lee start
ed the game at quarterback in place OF
Sheble, but his work was little, IL any,
Improvement over that Of the latter. Sew
eral times the Pennsylvania eleven was
held for downs because OF poor general
ship on the part OF Lee.
In the first half Pennsylvania scored
nve touchdOwns, but only one goal was
kicked. More substitutes were sent IN
in the second half, and as q result only
OF the team did not give the coaches
much hope for the Brown game on SAT-
