fence proved entirely too much for the
plucky Brown eleven to-day, and as a
result the Quakers obtained some slight
revenge for their Overwhelming defeat. at
Providence one year ago by winning by
IS TO 0.
The result was not unexpected, but t,fe
good play of the Quakers was more tan
satisfactory from their standpoint. The
Penn defence proved wellngh impreg-
nable. Brown making just one first down
during the game-a twenty-yard run by
Substitute Gardiner at the opening of the
last quarter. after his teammates had
held Pennsylvania for downs on their
5-yard line.
In fact it was in this last quarter that
the Providence boys displayed their best
football, as they twice held the Quakers
from scoring, the last stand proving
most aggressive one, in that they tossed
the oncoming Quakers from their 10 TO
their 80 yard line, forcing them to resort
10 a drop kick, which fell far short of
score
Pennsylvania came forth primed for re-
venge. on receiving the initial kickoff
Minds called for an attack that swept the
Brown eleven of its feet. Marshall ran
the kickoff back 10 his S9-yard line, and
on the next play Minds tore through
Browns left tackle for a forty-two yard
run TO Browns 2O-yard mark.
line play for two yards followed.
whereupon the Quakers electrified the
crowd by a deceiving play. Minds faxed
a forward pass TO his right end, and as
the Cnooming tacklers bore down on him
he tossed the ball backward to the fleet
, Marshall who rushed around McLaugh-
Inns end for the score. Marshall kicked
the goal
Pennsylvania next score followed some
pretty playing by Marshall when he took
Henry's punt at midheld, and, after
being thrown by a diving tackle by Nc
Iaughlin. jumped TO his feet and made
fifteen yards before he was smothersd by
the Brown forwards.
Minds again came TO the front with
run around Browns right end for thirty
yards to Browns 5-yard line. A hold
ing penalty here set the Quakers back
fifteen yards. but when Minds attempted
a forward pass to Koons an over-anxious
Brown back interfered with the latter,
and Penn thus regained its lost ground.

down on criss-cross around Browns left

The third score for the Quakers was
. result of just three plays from mdheld.
Minds opened the way by 22-yard for
ward pass to Rooms. Marshall proved
true to his remarkable open field form
of a year ago. when, o. the same fake
forward pass that had enabled him to
score the first touchC' wn, he circled
Browns left end. dodgirs his way through
a mass OF tacklers to the 2-yard line.
Minds hurled himself over the line for the
touchdown and Marshall kicked his third
goal.
Cap.ain Henry's poor punting opened
the way for the last Quaker score. In
4. an exchange OF punts Henry sent two
successive attempts out Of bounds the
last at his 45-yard line. Bolger and Mar

es, and Marshall carried the ball to the
l5-yard line on the next play.
Here a penalty for holding put the
Quakers in a bad position, but Bolger
proved more than equal to the emergency
by rushing through Browns right tackle
for a 2S-yard run to Browns 5-yard line.
Minds again used the criss-cross, this
time carrying the ball himself for the last
touchdown Marshall kicked the goal.
IN the last period Penn had the ball on
Browns S-yard line at the opening, but
the Providence boys put up a stubborn
article OF defence and took 1t upon downs.
Here Gardiner made his 2o-yard run
through Penn's left tackle. A punt fol-
lowed to Penn's 4o from which point the
Quakers tegan a thrilling march up the
field to Browns 1o-yard line. where the
defeated Brunonians arose in their might
and threw them back for 20-yard loss In
two plays. An attempted field goal ended
the game.
PENNSYLVANIA certainly surprised me TO-
6ay with its versatile and brilliant at
tack. While II is true that the Brown
eleven had a good defence for Mindss
driving forward passes, the latter getung
away with only two out OF twelve trials
It was unable TO solve the dazzling at
tack OF the Quakers.
The attack was a splendid Improvement
over the open play that l saw here two
weeks ago, and in addition l was es-
pecially pleased with the remarkable line
plunging Of Minds, Captain Young and
Bolger, and the top form that Marshall
struck in his open field running.
Penn used two plays most effectively
one the fake forward pass from scrim-
mage, which fell over Mindss back into
the arms OF the fleet. lodging quarter
back, Marshall. and the other a rather
bold departure In criss-cross running.
Minds and Young, who INDUCED In 1t.
never hesitated TO make wide backward
rushes in their endeavors TO circle the
oncoming tacklers.
To my mind II seems rather dan

groS1o especially against more expert
enced s,rSs than Brown used to-day.
There - too much elance for big loss.
When Marshall was returned, toward the
close of the play, 1t was just such wide,
backward rush that cost his team twenty
yards.
The Ouakers showed good ends in Koons
and Mccall both OF whom played strong
defensive games and took forward passes

slow, but to overcome this handicap
Minds controls his punting so well that
both OF them, as well as the centre rush,
Simpson, were on the Brown backs when

Minds used his effective running punt
