State College, Pa, Nov. 17.-Penn-
sylvania State routed Maryl a n d
States football eleven here today 81
to 0. 1t was the first meeting-of the
two colleges on the gridiron. The
visiting team proved easy prey for the
Blue and White, which was smarting
under its recent defeat by Lehigh.
Capt. Conover and his men romped
through Maryland's line and around
her ends for eight touchdowns. Bob
Clarke booted one easy field goal from
the twelve-yard mark and Conover
tailed six goals from touchdowns.
Charlie Way, the Penn State quar-

downs and Maryland was unable to
register a first down.
Pennsylvania States line was the
solid wall that held the opponents in
check. Kraft and Hills stopped all
thrusts of the Maryland backs di-
rected at their side. Rauch and Capt.
Conover protected the ends so well
that KnObe and Fletcher were turned
back for big losses. Maryland gained
only twenty-four yards by rushing
tactics during the four periods. The
ball was in the Maryland teams pos
session only six times, and Knobe was

McGraw and Miller of the 3l9th regi-
mental team from Camp Lee, which
plays the United states Marines from
League Island, Philadelphia, Pa, in
the big benefit game for the soldiers,
sailors and marines athletic fund at
the American League Park here next
Saturday. are giving special atten-
ton to the football drills nowadays
instead of the manual of arms.
The men We're yesterday given the
first real taste of running interfer-
enCe, while turn about was taken in
carrying the ball. Jehovics and Mar
shall were booting the ball down the
field in great style. About % men
are out for baCkfield positions and
separate teams will be formed to give
each n chance to show his ability be-
fore the final selection will be made.
Waddell. the former Pittsburgh
High School star and product of
Andy Kerr. is showing up well at
Charter. His play with the Company
NJ team, which is in line for the regi-
mental championship to be decided
tomorrow, has been an outstanding
feature. He is showing the same
grade of high class playing with the
candidates and is plotting the squad
with good generalship.
Harry Jones. who played with
Franklin and Marshall for three years
is rounding out in old-time form.
His drop kicks have the same power
to them as when he played with his
college team. He is undoubtedly the
best boOter in camp today and wilt
have little opposition in gaining a po-
sition on the team. Deacon" as he
is known in camp. Is plugging away
for all that is in him to be in the best
possible condition for the game beside
lending his assistance to the other
men who are out for backfield posi-
tiOns.
McKenna, the former W. and ].
lineman, is nursing a bad knee since
last Wednesdays regimental game.
He had been out to watch the prac.
tice and a rest will be a material
help to him as he has been playing
football ever since he has been in
camp. Another man that is showing
up to advantage is G. B. Williams
who played at Culver Military SchooI
and later at Columbia besides assist
ing at the latter institution in a
coaching capacity. He is a plunSing
fullbaCk and has a powerful drive
through the line.
There is an air of expectancy at the
camp as to who will be the lucky
ones to get the trip to the National
Capital. The boys are doing their bit
toward boosting the game and an
unwritten order has been passed
around that each member of the resi-
ment write postals and letters to his
friends and urge them to turn out
and help swell the regimental fund.
The entire proceeds of the game go
to the fund.

Gopher squad wsliopod the MarOOns
here today &c to O.
The Chicagosns never had a chance
from the start and made no first
down throughout the contest Mime
sota's most effective work was done
through the line, generally over
tackles and around the ends.
Always the terrihcally powerful
Hauser was the pivot of the attack.
The holes he bored through the line
were gigantic and the interference he
lent TO end runs was splendid. The
Maroons had good defensive moments
but failed on offense.

TO blows and were put out of the
game. The loss Of Weston weakened
the Wolverines.

were not very successful in bucking
the Michigan line. After beinug pen-
allied for holding Pennsylvania had
the ball on Michigsn's 2O-yard line.
From there Berry dropped back to
the 3-yard line and kicked goal from
the field, the first score OF the game.
Just before the third period closed
the Quakers got possession of the ball
on the S2-yard line. Berry dropped
back to the 57-yard line and kicked
7 another field goal from a difficult
angle. The ball remained continually
in the Quaker's possession during the
remainder Of the period.
