ELEVEN TRIMS
WESLEYAN $50
Orange and Black Team Plays
a Very Poor Game against
Speedy Opponents.


STATE COLLEGE. Pa, Oct. H.
Wesleyan received her worst beating
I in years here today when Penn state,
through superior playing not un-
coupled however. with some good
luck, ran its ends. plunged its line
/ and forward passed itself to 80
/ TO 0 victory. The feature of the
game was Robb's sensational run for
! ninety-fve yards for u touchdown
from the kick off in the third quar-
ter. Today's was States fourth sue
cessive victory by large scores this
/ season.
Wesleyan Plays Poorly,
| The game today was very poor
exhibition on the part of Wesleyan.
Immediately after the first kick of.
which Captain Miller failed to get
more than ten yards down the field,
state punted, Miller fumbIed the ball
and Beck recovered behind Wes-
leyan'a goal for q touchback. Wes-
| leyan could not gain and CalaC punt
ed, State coming back with a series
of line plunges that netted the first
touchdown by Ewing's brilliant
plunge after ten minutes of play. The
next score was, the result of freak
play on an attempted forward pass
by State which Miller for Wesleyan
broke down but which bounded into
| the hands OF Eye, who ran for a
touchdown for net gain of fifty
yards.
Penalties Hurt Wesleyan.
Two more forward passes. good for
twenty and fifteen yards respectively,
and effective line plunging by State
added the third and last scores OF the
first half. The third quarter was
scoreloss, States offense slowing up
and Wesleyan playing better ball on
the defensive. Twice during this
period after good gains by Fisher.
Galac and Blake penalties for hold
ing and OFF side play checked Wes-
leyan's rally. The fourth quarter
produced more poor football on tho
part of the orange and black
Straight line plunges good for sixty
yards after an exchange OF kicks net
ted the first touchdown and on the
next kick off Robb, for State, received
the ball and ran the full length of the
field for another touchdown. 1t was
brilliant piece OF work for the State
/ ithllbuthF OllOh lllE tlll5t w tSItIhu
staged another rally with Ross,
Calac and Beck making good gains,
but Beck fumbled and State recov-
cred. State failed to get in, how
ever, and the ball went to Wesleyan
on downs. A forward pass here,
Morrison TO Bradley netted Wes-
leyan's single big gain. the advantage
being no less than forty yards. An
other attempt at forward pass by
Fisher. however. was intercepted by
Conover, of State. who ran sixty yards
for the final touchdown.
Minister'S Lacked Punch.
Wesleyan's defense except for for
warding passing was good Several
times State was held for downs and
oftener 1t was forced to kick. There
was absolutely no punch" in its Of
tense, however, and it appeared that
on every occasion when IT. was about
to stage a rally a penalty, bad
pass. tumble or some other mis-
fortune would intervene and State
would gain the advantage Dutch"
Neal played IA good game at center, |
while Taylor. Vance, Clark and Tus-
chappet played we'll in the line The
work of Morrison and Blake at ends,
especially in covering kicks, was ex-
ceptionally good and Calac's punting
was steady and had good distance.
The backfield lacked decision on It's
formations and the offensive work
generally was very poor. The lineup
