Lafayette make any sort of impression on
the Pennsylvania line. Lafayette's attack
did not measure up to what was expected
of it. and Pennsylvania's defence, which IL
was feared would be weak, easily proved
strong enough TO repulse any Lafayette at
tack.
In spite of the slippery condition of the
held. the game abounded in spectacular
football. Two of Pennsylvania's touch
towns were due indirectly to the forward
pass in the execution of which Scott and
RamSdell starred. Lafayette had little sue
cess with the new football and had pract1-
callv no offence but the line plunging game
The score itself does not show the extent
to which Pennsylvania outplayed the vtsi-
tors. The Quakers carried the ball from

field to the other for his kicks and did not

A peculiar feature of the game was the
number of men who were injured, though
not one of the injuries was serious They
were accounted for in a measure by the
wet condition of the field. Lafayette used

The individual stars of the PENNSYLVANIA
team were Ramsdell, Mercer Scott and
Sommer. Ramsdell got away for one run
of sixty wards and only flying tackle by
Spiegel prevented touchdown. Rodgers,

probably won a line position. He frequently
beat the ends down the field. recovered one
fumbled punt and blocked all attacks on
his side of the line.
