PHILADELPHIA Nov. 1.-The University OF
! Pennsylvania football team secured re-
venge for two straight defeats at the
hands Of State College by winning we'll
played game this afternoon by II to D.
Ii was ideal weather, and a crowd OF
eighteen thousand persons saw the
Quakers triumph. Pennsylvania scored
two touchdowns and kicked one goal
from the field. One touchdown was made
In each of the first two periods, and the
field goal, which was made in the third
period, was the only score Of the second
half. Captain Young and March made
the two touchdowns and Marshall scored
with the field goal.
In spite Of the overwhelming nature OF
Pennsylvania victory the visitors came
very near making serious trouble. In the
last period they started series OF
brilliant forward passes which carried
the ball from their own 20-yard line to
Pennsylvania 5-yard line. With five
yards TO go on a fourth down State tried
forward pass, the ball being caught
over the goal line by Quaker back. On
one other occasion State had the ball
within striking distance, only to lose II
on a tumble, and just before the game
ended the State team was again threat
ening PENIS goal
The one weakness in the Pennsylvania
attack was its lacking sustained rushing
power and poor interference for the backs.
This was due in a measure to the fact
that several Of the Quaker regulars were
kept out OF the game by injuries, and
Bolger, the star halfback, had to leave
the game early in the second period on
account of a blow in the face.
There was one disqualification, and 1t
weakened States attack. Early in the
first period Bergman. halfback of State.
was put out of the game for unnecessary
roughness, and Pennsylvania received
half the distance TO the goal line. This
put the ball on States 35-yard line, but
no touchdown resulted. The individual
star Of the game was Miller, quarterback
of the State team. He was particularly
brilliant on running back kicks, and, in
spite OF the fact that he was closely
watched, got away for several good runs.
Marshall did brilliant work for Pennsyl-
vania, with the exception Of poor hand
ling OF kicks. He made three attempts to
score with drop kicks. In the second
period he tried for the 35-yard line and at
a bad angle. The ball struck the cross
bar and bounded back into the field. lie
followed this in the third period with
successful kick from the G-yard line. In
the fourth period he tried another from
the 35-yard mark against the WIND, the
ball Just passing under the bar.
The Quakers made their first touch
down Just few minutes from the END Of
