Franklin Field.

PHILADELPHIA, October 26-The
University Of Pennsylvania foot ball elev-
en-, on Franklin Field, this afternoon,
tried to avenge the "a to defeat at the
hands Of the Carlisle Indians last year,
and the result was, Indians 20, Pennsyl-
vania 8. Pennsylvan1ans knew the In
dians were strong, but believing that they
were possessed Of no mean ability them
selves, they were confident Of victory and
never dreamed of another Waterloo. It
was not SO much Carltsle's great strength
that made the game 30 one-sided. as It
was PENIS weakness. The latter played
head!ess, nervous game; IN fact, the
poorest exhibition Of foot ball. The Red
and Blue was outclassed in every depart
ment Of the game.
On the other hand. the Red Men played
with the precision of we!l-adtusted ma
chine. making no mistakes OF Judgment
and very few In the handling of the bali.
Their exhibition OF forward passing.
which play they used for ground ga ming
more than any other, was perfect. They
seldom punted. depending largely on the
forward pass. Houser threw the ball any
where from twenty to forty Yards. and.
with few exceptions. an Indian was al
ways on the spot to receive 1t. They
ran the PENIS off their feet with their
trick. Formation for a punt. forward
pass, run around either end or plunge
through q line was a rule, and many
yards were made through PENIS inabi-
ity to detect quickly the plays being
made.
Hendricks Long Run.
The feature OF the game was Hen
bricks run Of 100 yards for touch
down. Pennsylvania, in one Of her few
flashes Of activity. had the ball on the
Indians 10-yard line, in the first half.
Hollenbach was given the bail for cen
ter play, -ut fUmbled. Quick as flash
the Indian halfback seized the ball and
was away with a clear field in front of
him. Another Indian followed him close
ly. The Penn men started after him,
but the heet-footed Hendricks was just
crossing the goal line for the touchdown
when the Pennsylvanians tried to tackle
him.
PENNSYLVANIA had but two chances to
score, one before Hollenbach fumbled the
ball and the other late in the first half,
when Regain failed at a field goal.
Mt. Pleasant, Hendricks. Houser, Little
boy and Payne put up a brilliant game,
while Afraid of Bear at left guard did
not appear to be afraid Of anybody on the
field. While Penn as a team played a list
less game, there was good individual
work done by Folwell, Green and Hollen-
bach. FolweN was the only one who
seemed to be able to fathom the Indians
forward pass plays.
Although the Indians played agrees
sively t-cannot be said that they. played
a clean game. They lost a hundred yards
by penalty and their play in the line was
not strictly clean.
The Indians made 16 points in their first
half Houser got the first score by a
kick from placement from the 23-yard
line.
Hendricks long run added the second
score to which Mt. Pleasant attached an
easy goal from touchdown, and the next
score was made by Payne, who Went
around PENIS weak line side after the
Indians had rushed the ball from midfieid
TO PENIS 4-yard line.
In the second half the Redskins scored a
touchdown on a blocked kick Penn got
the ball on her own 5-yard line on a
forward pass. Hollenbach attempted to
punt and the bali was blocked, Little Boy
falling on the ball behind the goal posts
for touchdown. The Indians last score
was made field goal by Houser from
the 3O-yard line
