IN see IN the IanU1eI llOlA SiiiVNS
,be best eleven in the East this year
Tbev NAV be that, so far as scores
are concerned, but the memory which
the average spectator carried from
r-s,tlin Field this afternoon was Of a
Giant Of mountainous proportions al
most licked by a little band of per-
sstent gnomes.
Glenn Warmers students Of foot
ball philosophy were lucky TO get away
with it. In the first two periods,
barring the first several minutes, they
were outguessed, outplayed and out
gained BY the Red and Blue. The rak-
Ish short passes Of FolwelPs men and
tbe incesssnt hammering of the Pitt
,nds had a mosquitolike sting to them,
and il was q sore and angry Panther
that turned up for the third period.
A Lot of Luck
IN the third period il took lot of
,uck for Warmers machine to amass
the points which meant victory. Nc
carter. who is the Smoketown ace in
the matter Of throwing forward
masses, was having a highly interesting
afternoon Of il. Time and again he set
himself to toss with the Penn line
charging down on him, only TO find
there was no one TO fling the ball to.
Early in the third period he was
confronted by precisely this condition.
The ball was on PENIS 40-yard line,
having been taken there by the only
Championship brand of football the
Panther showed all day. This was
when McLaren ripped the Penn line
into shreds and practically alone car
ned the pigskin from Pitts 25-yard
line to the 40-yard line Of the enemy.
AT this important juncture McCarter
dropped back and took a long pass
from centre. He swung first to the
right, then to the left, and as a trio
Of Red and Blue sweaters plunged at
him he sailed the ball high into the
air and toward the side line.
Pennsy had been anticipating pre-
cisely that sort Of a play. She had
two men covering Carlson, left end;
yet be wriggled out Of the box they
should have made for him, caught the
ball and trotted over Pennsy's line for
a touchdown.
Il was one Of those plays so sudden
and unexpected that the student band
usually drops its music from sheer
smazement and fails to get started IN
concert in its musical celebration OF
the deed. You know the kind We mean.
Should Have Boxed Carlson
That was q lucky "break" for the
Panther To be sure, the ball went
direct from man TO man, and Carlson
perhaps was originally scheduled TO
receive McCarter's long pass, but there
is no gainsaying that McCarter was
lucky to get the ball away from him
and that Pennsy's defence should have
boxed Carlson.
In the general excitement, Sizes kicked
Of again, and the ball sailed over
PENIS goal line, where Berry downed
it, 1t was put in play at the 2O-yard
line and after Berry and Light had
twice tried TO pierce Pitts mountainous
line Berry dropped back for a kick.
Pennsy's line failed TO hold, a dele

by Maynard. Maynard is as tough as
Pittsburgh steel mill, and when the
ball hit him IL rebounded almost to
the Penn goal line, to which point
there was an exciting race for il. Her
rington, Of Pitt, won. He fell on the
ball two yards from PENIS uprights.
McLaren, who is as impervious to
ordinary obstacles as a British tank"
ploughed through the Liliputians of
PENIS line for the second touchdown.
The indications were that Penn
would crack wide open and by an out
iageous finish neutraliZe the beautiful
under,dog ball it had played earlier in
the game.
Penn Takes Brace
Nothing OF the kind happened. The
BED and Blue stiffened again, and when
the Psnthers, after few sallies at the
line and ends, found there was no
chance to make a runaway race OF IT.,
they seemed content TO rest on their
fourteen-point laurels. Not so Penn.
The sons Of William the Quaker began
plugging away in the fourth period
and as the game drew to a close they
presented a series of trick passing plays
mat were annoying to the Panther.
Pitt eventually attached the ball on
It's own 30-yard line and after the old
army game Of plunge and buck had
itiled, Gougler dropped back for for

Alex Wrsy, PENIS centre and indi-
Naual star Of the game, nabbed the
