Penn Beats Parsons.


Penn won her third straight game
yesterday by defeating Parsons Col
Iege, OF Fairfield, 300. The day was
a little warm for ideal football wealth
er, but served to bring out a good
crowd of spectators. The game was
diverse, ali kinds of foot ball being
used, from spectacular open field
playing to straight line bucking;
Penn outweighed Parsons, especially
in the line, but the Presbyterians
were fast and made up for their light
ness by speed. Not a player was in
jured on either team; the officials
were prompt and just in their 1ecis-
ions and both teams showed good
craftsmanship making the game inter
esting and satisfying to the crowd.
Penn's defensive playing was strength
ened by the return of Williams and
PeFrel to the end positions and few
gains were made by Parsons on end
plays. s. Watson at tackle, played
star game, stopping always behind
the line and making a number OF good
open field tackles. Smith made some
good end runs and Ruby showed up
we'll hitting the line. Zeigler played
a star game at left half for Parsons
when l.. Stephenson's quick work at
end and Sherwood's good toe gave
Parsons her 8 points. PENIS points
came on straight foot ball. Penn car
ried the ball 42O yards while coach
Pickens men made nearly 200 yards.
Parsons out kicked Penn, and also
blocked several OF Penns kicks
