iured and went 20 the side lines in the
fourth period. He too, protested when
taken out but the cut under his chin was
80 serious that several stitches had TO be
put In to hold Il together. Peck played n
great game and proved that he is an ALL
american center. He had his hands full
Win Lud wray however, and had to ex-
tend himself
Penn got OF to bad start and virtually
lost the game in the FIRST minute OF play.
Mathews kicked on and ne Hart carried
the ball 20 mldheld before he was downed,
This was not at AL encouraging TO Fol-
wells players, but they soon got together
and forced the home team 20 punt How
ever this one play gave the Pitt players
the confidence they needed-gave them the
Jump, as II were-while Penn was put on
the defensive at the very start.
Another thing that was fatal to the Red
and Blue was the poor defense on kicks.
Time and again tho Pitt linemen came
within n hairsbroadth OF blocking the punt
and when that punt was blocked In the
first period q touchdown quickly followed.
But the defense cannot bo blamed on Fol-
we'll Hoby Light was TO blame, and II did
not seem that he followed his instructions.
Instead OF taking the inside man, who was
the tackle, he went after the end, thus Civ
ing the tackle clean shot at the punter.
II also might be added that Light had an
acute attack OF stage fright and was In no
condition 10 play. Bert Bell did much bet
ter and Bryant. who succeeded Bell, did
the best work Of all
Hastings Some Kicker
Warner. on the other hand, had his men
blocking beautifully on kicks, and Red Has
tlngs had all the time in the world TO boot
his pair of goals from the neld. Hastings
also missed three other goals from place
ment by narrow margins. ono by inches, an
.NN oh nd bounding hack
into the field Of play, and the third, which
was from the 50-yard line, went wide by n
couple of yards. The Pitt halfback looks
like one OF the best kickers In the country,
and his all-round play makes him better
man even than Tibbott, Of Princeton.
Charley Henning went into the game and
forgot all about the operation which was
performed on him a month ago after the
first minute Of play His work In the
game, while not brilliant or noticed from
the sidelines was the real feature, He
stopped everything that was sent at him
and tackled the runner out at the end or
several occasions. He was backed up by
Little, who is the best tackle in the East
Captain Mathews also played well while he
was in the game and kept two men-the
opposing tackle and the great Herron--oui
OF the plays. Heinie Miller also did well
as did Bill ouigley, Williams and Derr.
Berry Needs Rest
Howard Berry's knee could not stand vi
under the strain and he was unable to dC
himself justice. outside Of his punting In
the first period, he was Of little use to th'
team. Berry should be given a chance tC
rest and allowed TO recover before playinl
in any OF the other games
In all. the Penn line played great game
but the team work OF the backheld wa
ragged. There are possibilities, however
and although defeated by twenty points
Bob Folwell should not feel discouraged
| To my mind. the team is just starting ol
the up grade, and when they get going un
der Folwell's system the other teams oi
the schedule will face hard proposition
Two weeks more Is all Folwell needs an'
he will get results.
