OuakerS Get 23-O Verdict
Ouer Lafayette, but Drop
Arguments to Officials;
40 Yards OF Penalties
DERR IN 1916 FORM
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

DEM won one decision on Saturday
and lost lot of them. The Red
and Blue fighters earned go yer.
dictVwhen they shattered the hopes and
ambitions of Lafayette. and they came
out on the short end of a number of
arguments with Referee Merritt and
Umpire Price.
The Quakers scored three touch
downs; they should have had at least
five. The final figures show that Fol
wells fighters had comfortable mar
gin, but that margin was not fcathered
half as softly as one would imagine
Victory came after n sizzling battle
with the determined sons of Easton; il
| should have been twice as easy.
| But the Quakers had to go out and
| fight the Maroon with all they had.
and although they gained more ground
than the Prussian Guard ever lost, they
were kept from the Easton goal line
until the third period was more than
few minutes old.
Seventeen FIRST Downs
During the entire game Penn gained
seventeen first downs as against three
| for the Maroon. Touchdowns should
have come much easier, but some one
was blundering.
1t was the inhiction of penalties that
kept Penn's score down, more so than
the Lafayette eleven, although the Eas-
tOpians put up a splendid fight. The
Quakers lost 14O yards through viola
tiOn of the rules. One hundred and
forty yards means at least two touch :
downs. It's almost one and half times
the length of the field.
Penn must learn to play the game
according to HOylp. A hundred and
forty yards probably would mean the
game against team just mite stronger
than Lafayette. Penalties have a de =
moralizing effect on a team. It's dis 9,
couraging to fight and struggle for a
few yards and then get set back fifteen.
The backs keep hustling for gains on
every play and the ball continues to
slide toward the wrong goal.
Tardy Drive
Most of the offenscs were committed
by Penn in the first half The result
was that the Quakers failed to cross
the Lafayette goal line, and the only
margin held by the Red and Blue al
the intermission, despite the numerou;
yards gained, was three points made
from the toe of Bert Bell. The Penr
captain drop kicked a beautiful goa
from the 3S- yard line.
One penalty was directly responsible,
for the loss of a touchdown in the frs
period Ileine Miller caught Bel
aerial heave on the Maroon 20 yart
line and fought his way over the goa
line, but the play was recalled and tn,
Red and Blue set back three chalklinet
for holding.
Mainly because of these penalties tn
Quakers failed to get going in the frs
half. The Lafayette line nut up a grea
battle against the far famed Quake
forwards and the Maroon backs pile,
through for three first downs. Their
was a different story to tell in the las
two periods.

land goal again. the Quakers growing
in strength. while the Maroon OffenSG
became feeble.
Two things particularly pleasing
about the playing of the Penn eleven
was the defensive work of the linemen
and the rewakening of Bots Bruner and
Ben Derr. These two backs proved
that they have reached their real form.
Derr splintcred the Lafayette line as he
used to crack the opposition three years
ago and scored the first two Penn
tOuchdowns Bruner's tackling was

The biggest game in independent foot
ball circles to date resulted in ~ to Z
victory for Conshohocken over Holmes
burg on Saturday. the contest being
played on the grounds of Norristown
High School. The gridiron classic drew
the largest throng that ever witnessed
IA game in NOrristown, conservatively
estimated at 10000.
Conshohocken won we'll deserved
victory. but two of their goals resulted
from fumbles. while their third one
came from steady gains through the
Holmesburg line. In the third and
fourth quarters it looked as if Holmes
burg would score, but they were unable
again to cross the goal line.
The showing of the Holmesburg
players disappointed the large throne
that Travelled with them in special
train, accompanied by band. Every
play they tried failed, while the reverse
was the case with Conshohocken. How
ard Berry, who is coaching Conshy, had
been booked to play. but his services
were not necessary and he viewed the
/ conflict from the side lines.
| Vincome and Ewing met at the
Strawbridge & Clothier grounds and
the former emerged a winner, 16 to o.
The work of Redding was one of the
outstanding features of the West Phila :
delphians' victory. He repeatedly
smashed the Ewing line for long gains.
Frankford maintained it's fine record
by swamping Hobart, 81 to 0. The
game signalized the return of Captain
Bob Remmey, who showed his usual
brilliant form. Duthie, formerly OF
Colgate. was forced to retire with a
fractured shoulder blade.

mean slaughter of the Irish and our

The Herald, Britain's labor paper,
calls upon British in these words:
Britain has 10000 men, equipped
with machine guns, tanks and poison
gas, ready to use against the Irish
people in their struggle for freedom.
"The call from Ireland is, What
will British labor do about it?' 1t talks

The Manchester Guardian thinks
that "if use had not dulled the sense

apropos of the outrages committed in
