ians after outplaying the University of
Pennsylvania football team almost every
minute Of their annual game this after
noon had 70 submit to a tie score of to
T. In spite Of the fact that the red men
carried the ball total OF o49 yards from
scrimmage to so yards for the Quakers
and made g first downs to their oppo-
nents' ., they could not claim the victory.
though every one admitted their ire
mendous superiority.
There was a combination Of fluke and
brilliant football! in Pennsylvania's only
score. When the second half opened the
Indians were leading by : to o. Quarter
back Marshall caught the Indians kick
of on his 30-yard line. He fumbled the
ball and chased II back to his 2O-yard line
Here he scooped II up and started for the
Indian goal With rare speed he picked
his way back to midfeld, where Captain
Young bowled over two Indian taCklers
and gave Marshall a clear field for A
touchdown. From here his progress was
unimpeded, and then he tied the score by
kicking his own goal
The Indians outplayed PENNSYLVANIA in
every particular. a Neutrality-suspicious. rain
had left the field in a swampy condition
and the players were saturated after the
first scrimmage. IT was the belief Of
every one that ii was an ideal day for the
heavier Quaker team. but the Indians
went into the battle with lots of spirit and
fought the big Quaker forwards back with
every scrimmage. From first to last they
outcharged the Quakers. while their backs
-Guyon in particular-were seldom
stopped without substantial gains. For
the most part the Indians played straight
football and directed IT ost of their attacks
into the line. Only twice during the game
were they held for downs, though several
times they had to kick AS the game
progressed the Quakers seemed to lose
confidence IN each other, and Minds and
Young had TO take up the brunt of ad-
vanclng the ball. but they made little
Roadway against the Indian defence.
The Indians won the toss and elected TO
receive the ball. Guyon made first down
in three plays and after an exchange Of
kicks, when the Quakers had shown they
could not gain on straight rushing. the
Indians started back from the Quakers'
42-yard line and in six plays were inside
the 25-yard mark. With four yards to go
on fourth down. they tried a forward
pass and lost the ball on downs. They
followed this few moments later with
So yards Of consistent rushing before
being obliged to kick
. They opened the second period by rush
ing the ball twenty-eight yards, and then
after an exchange OF kicks started from
midfeld for the Quakers' goal This time
they scored their touchdown, carrying the
ball fifty yards in ten plays. Guyon, who
seemed TO have no limit TO his strength.
did most of the work in advancing the
ball. With the ball on the l5-yard line
his signal was called. II was split
play, and he cut cleany through the
Quaker left tackle ard end, and made the
touchdown easily Carlow kicked the
goal.
II was on the first play of the second
hsif that Marshall made his sensational
run for touchdown. After he had kicked
the goal and the score was tied the team
seemed to brace, and it looked as though
the Quakers had an even chance TO win.
But the Indians also redoubled their en-
ergy, and soon had the Red and Blue as
badly on the defensive as before. In the
third period the Indians made only two
first downs, but on every exchange OF
kicks they gained ground chiefly because
OF Marshalrs poor handling Of kicks. In
this period they carried the ball from
scrimmage total Of forty-five yards, to
SIX Yards for the Quakers.
The Quakers made brace in the final
period, and although they gained more
ground in this quarter than during the
other three periods combined they were
not dangerous. The Indians carried the
ball total OF forty-two yards in this
period, to twenty-nine for the Quakers.
Each team made two first downs in this
quarter. The Quakers got their first down
on a twelve-yard plunge by Captain
Young and a forward pass by Marshall
which melted fourteen yards. AS the
game drew to close both sides opened
w the game with long forward passes,
but for the most part they were unsuc-
cessful. There was also good deal OF
kicking in this period. each side hoping
that there would be tumble OF punt.
