NAVY BEATS PENN. STATE
Turns Tumble Into T0uChdO7Cn Near
End of Game.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

ANNAPOLIS Nov 16--After having victory In
its grasp this afternoon Pennsylvania State
fumbled in the last two minutes of play and the
Midshipmen grasped the opportunity and won
by a score of 6 TO 4.
Worries kicked a difficult field goal in the first
half and throughout the game the visitors made
more consistent gains. Except for the brilliant
work of Douglas, the Navy captain, Pennsy-
vania State would have had easy victory.
Under the circumstances ii was a hard game 10
lose but Vorhs let one Of Douglass long punts
get away from him and Dague carried the ball
over when the game about to end.
The victory has done much to inspire the
Navy for the Army game, but great defects
manifested themselves in the local team. The
Navy relied almost entirely upon Douglas to
advance the ball this afternoon and his one
gaining play was that in which he went on a
long run around either end from a kick forma-
ton. Neither Burg nor Boynton, the new men
on the backfeld, showed any ability ground
gamers, while LANCE, who started the season
with promise. gave a most disappointing eXhi
bition Of fumbIlng and lack Of headwork. once
Douglas was hurt, and despairing groan went
up from the Navy stand. With Douglas out Of
the game the Navy team would be in bad shape.
Not for years has it depended so absolutely on
one man.
Once during the first half Pennsylvania State
had the ball on Nays 5-yard line. but could not
carry it over and lost the chance for field
goal by trying to make the final two yards on
the last down BY of thirty-fivc yards by
Douglas. followed by two gains on the forward
pass play, the Navy carried the ball TO Pennsy
vania States .20-yard line in the same half but
a penalty of fifteen yards for Illegal Interior
ence was followed by a blocked kick, when
LANCE attempted a field goal. Vorhis got in posi-
ton for his drop kick by recovering the ball
when Smith fumbled it and running for thirty
yards.
PENNSYLVANIA State gained more consistently
in the second haf than did the Navy. McCleary
being good for from five to fifteen yards every
time he was called The Nays right tackle
was the weak spot, and three men were tried
liberalization, Shafroth and Magruder-but
McCeary continued to tear through and first
down was made time after time. Douglas got off
some splendid long and well placed punts and
the last one of these got away from Worries,
Dague Selling il and getting over the line at the
extreme edge of the field just he tackled.
The ball was punted out nicely and LANCE kicked
the goal. The lineup and summary follow:

Attention has again been called to the Panhard

announcement of these great French makers that

Panhard Levassor began building motor

countries.
The American branch is under the direct control

motors which have been built for pleasure boats

In 1903 A. Massenat, manager of the American
branch, sent by the factory to this country 10

too small. and in 1905 the firm compelled to
