set in and the fourth quarter had
Just begun, officials called tho con-
| test.
1t was a contest filled with thrills,
every moment being chuck full of
some spectacular playing. Penalties
were numerous on both sides. The
only feature to mar the contest was
the assault on Coach Ryan By Cap
tain Dayhoff. In the second quar-
ter Captain Lloyd was forced out
of bounds on the east side of the
teld and thrown heavily against
the wire fence. Stunned by the
ploW, and being off the field of play,
! Coach Ryan who was sitting nearby,

Spectators Get Busy
Dayhoff, who was in hot pursuit
OF the Tech captain came upon the
scene, and struck the Tech coach.
according to on-lookers, q nasty blow
on the upper lip. The incident al
most caused a riot and it was some
time before play was resumed. Be-
tween halves Dayhoff apologized to
the Tech coach. and confessed to
losing his head. While the Steelton
captain was the big star for the Wis
itors, his actions lost him friends
among the spectators.
The first half was a long drawn
out affair. To play the thirty min
utes of actual scrimmage required
an hour and three-quarters. The
first half did not end until n quar-
ter OF five. The contest was started
late purposely to give the second
teams an opportunity to play their
contest. At the last moment Steel
ton Cancelled, but as the time had
been set for the big contest to start
at S.l5 no change was made in the
arrangements.
Tech Had 'Pep"
Techs aggregation showed more
vim, dash and pep" than any team
Tech has put on the field for MANY
day. They were out to win, and
Coach Ryan deserves plenty of
credit for the dashing game played
by his proteges. 1t is predicted that
had the last quarter been played
Tech would have added a good many
more points as Steelton was losing
men in every play, and her strength
was FAST ebbing. Coach CockilIs
team deserves lots of credit for the
capable game put up by them. They
were game loosers. The score in de-
