FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILADELPHIA,
Pa, November 7.-Pennsylvania display
ing wonderful attack and perfect de-
fense humbled the strong Lafayette team
that tied Princeton. by winning on Frank
lin Field this afternoon by a score of
81 to 4. Lafayette scored first, when the
opening half was almost over on a per-
feet goal from placement by its fullback
McCaa
The Quakers sprang to the attack at
this, and in seven minutes remaining to
the half scored three touchdowns on the
most vicious and varied attack that has
been seen on Franklin Field in several
years. In the second half Pennsylvania
doubled its score. though the greatest part
of the time the team was filled with
cripples.
Bill Hollenback, Pennsylvania great
est captain, gave an exhibition of full
back play that has never been equaIed
here. He scored the first three touch
downs, two of them on runs half the
length of the field. He never failed to
gain ground, and several times ripped OF
at least thirty yards. He also held his
own in the kicking with McCaa, LaFay-
cites star punter.
Pennsylvania entire line was impreg-
nable, while the ends and backs played
superbly. CoZzens, a young recruit at
center, played phenomenal ball, being all
over the field.
McCaa and Edwards were the stars for
Lafayette. but they were SO badly beaten
that they did not last out.

either team broke into scoring Then the
change came with the suddenness OF
lightning. Pennsylvania had worked the
ball to Lafayette 5-yard line only 10

midfield, where it dropped between iol-
lenback and Miller. Gross, LaEayette's
end. came down the field like flash, and
snatching the ball started for the goal.
Hollenback nailed him on the 5-yard
line. Pennsylvania obtained the ball on
a forward pass and kicked out to the
:J-yard line. Edwards made fine catch
and McCaa kicked a boal from placement
This stirred Penn. and within seven
minutes the Quakers had smashed
through Lafayette for three touchdowns,
owing almost entirely to Hollenback' S
wonderful work. McCaa fumbled, PENIS
