Penn II; missouri Norman v.
Penn College opened the football
season on the home grounds yester-
day with complete victory over the
Missouri Normal team by score
: of 81 to 0. Missouri was completely
|, outclassed by the Penn team and at
no stage of the game was the Penn
goal in danger The spectators were
given a run for their money, as the
game was on the sensational order
in which long runs were the feature.
The Penn backs made good gains
through the Missouri line, but most
of the ground was made with for
ward passes and end runs. A. Smith
C. Smith and Williams We're the ones
who tore off the long runs. Both
/ Smiths making touchdowns on their
plays. A. Smith went through the
line for fifty.five yard run and
! touchdown. The Penn ends. VIII
Jams and Pierrel, made some nice
tackles and we're down on punts so
fast that the Missouri men could not
return the ball any distance.
| Madison kicked the best that he
has this season, his kicks going
high and averaging about 45 yards.
Missouri could not go through the
Penn line nor run the ends. What
little ground they gained was on the
forward pass, and this was very lit
tie, as they had no one who was able
to pass the ball with any degree OF
accuracy. The best asset of the Wis
itors was their tackling, which was
good.
Hopkins and Craig showed up the
best for Missouri. Members Of both
teams were somewhat bruised upI
after the game owing to the hard
hacking.
