Dlsnsier to Pennsylvania.

There has been a number of upsets
among the big college teams of the coun-
try this year. but none so decisive and
unexpected as that OF Pennsylvania at
the hands of the Pennsylvania State Col
lege last week The score of % to which
State ran up against the Quakers was
about the worst disaster which ever came
upon any PENNSYLVANIA team during the
preliminary season. Another fact which
should not be overlooked II that State
College scored 10 of her points In the first
quarter and possibly could have done
even more had the visitors maintained
the pace which they set at the beginning.
Foot ball history does not record two
quicker touchdowns than State scored In
the game. The first was the result OF
95-yard run from the initial kickoff by
Quarterback Miller of the State team. 1t
was the second time in Pennsylvania
history that any opposing player ever &C
did 1t was Capt. Brady of the Lafayette
team in 1899. Two minutes after Miller
had scored this sensational touchdown he
got away for second long run or nearly
half the length of the field for a second
score. The third touchdown was quite as
spectacular as the first and almost as
quick. Standing on his own goal line

sprinting down the field and. picking up
the ball as it bounded, ran 60 yards for
the third touchdown. The Pennsylvania
backfield was dazed by the rapidity OF
States scoring, and had not the coaches
rushed in a substitute backfield the
slaughter would have been worse 1t is
very rarely that big team loses posses

the Quaker varsity. When the suDsti-

the game.
In view of the fact that Pennsylvania
started the season under suspicious cir
cumstances and with material which was
considered quite as good as that OF last
year. there is much surprise at the con-
dition of affairs. A variety of opinions
have been expressed to explain the situa-
ton, varying from poor material to IN
competent coaching Whatever the cor
rect cause, Pennsylvania foot ball au-
thorities have taHen hold with vigor-
Gus hand. determined to bring order out
OF chaos. There has been wholesale
shake-up in the line. and at least two
new coaches including DR.. Carl Williams
and George Brooke. the brains OF the
Pennsylvania foot ball system. have raj
lied to the aid of the team. Only the
most heroic measures can save the team
from defeat at the hands Of Michigan,
Lafayette and Cornell. the three remain
ing games of the schedule.
There was less dropkicking In the big
games of last Saturday than on any pre-
vious Saturday of the year. Only one goal
was kicked in the Harvard-Brown game.

burgh, and Baker scored In similar
manner for Princeton against Holy Cross.
Among the smaller institutions George
town brought out a good dropkicker In
her game with ST. Johns. Halfback Cos
tello kicked three such field goals against
this team, and thereby established a
record for the year. In the urOpkicking

field, and in the Harvard game the Grim
