called upon to punt from his l3-yard line
but the forwards failed to protect him anr
State College blocked the kick, Hansen
recovering it for the visitors on the
Quakers' 1S-yard line. State College at
tempted to rush the ball across by line
plunging, but four yards were aa the
heavy State College backs could get IN
two plunges, so quarterback Miller tried
an end run He was forced TO sprlnv
diagonally across the field, but he cow
cred thirteen yards before he was forced,
out Of bounds, yard from the goal line.
Here Pennsylvania braced splendidly.i
state College failed 10 gain an Inch on
the first plunge and lost four yards on 81
tumble on the next play but recoyeredl
the ball From this point Mauthe went'
over the line in two plunges and them
kicked the goal
A few minutes before this tally Penn
sylvanla had a chance TO score. Get

rushed it IN irresistible style 10 inside,
States lO-yard line State braced and,
Marshall came in from the side lines and
took MERGERS place, ostensibly to try a.
field goal. He made a forward pass In
stead but the ball hit the ground and
State took II on downs. once more, IN
the second period and before State had
scored, Pennsylvania rushed the pail 10

could not reach. AS the ball bounded the
Quaker leader juggled II, and before ne
could recover ii Wilson scooped it up for
State and carried II 10 the l3-yard line
before he was downed. Line plunglnS
was slow work, and Miller tried for
ward pass over the goal line. Very took
the ball right under MERGERS nose, the
Quaker leader tackling the State man
! rather than going for the ball, the result
| being a touchdown for State.
| Shortly after this score state got away
| with a sensational forward pass from
Miller to Very. The latter outsprinted
| two quaker tacklers and travelled sixty

1 whistle before Miller made the pass.
J state richly deserved the victory DuL
