BUCKNELL WINS
NLAST QUARTER
Tears the Gettysburg Line to
Pieces: Placement Kick
Starts Score

The reason is the victory Saturday
over Gettysburg. score II to 0. 1t
was not all Bucknell even # the
Lewisburg boys did win out. Gettys-
burg was prominent for three quar-
ters. The battlefield contingent play
ed better ball than Bucknen. 1t was
in the last quarter that Bucknell
showed the form they should have
demonstrated earlier in the game
with the team they offered.
With three minutes of play gone
in the final period Bucknell began
to fight and in five minutes more or
play had torn the Gettysburg line
to pieces and scored a placement
kick and a touchdown. 1t was a
great finish. Gettysburg went down
with flying colors, fighting every
minute until the final whistle blew.
The crowd was the largest in the
history of this annual contest. There
was some kicking on the part OF
spectators who had paid the prices
advertised, and were asked to put
up an extra fee to get numbered
seat. Just who is to blame for the
change in prices is not known posi-
lively. A. Q. Worse, publicity man
for Bucknell, who with J. f. Snyder,
of Gettysburg, agreed to put two
prices did not know that numbered
seats were being sold until he reach
ed Harrisburg. He kicked loud and
long.
V. Grant Forrer, assistant super
intendent of parks, said he had no
hand in it and wanted the public to
understand that it was done without
his sanction. He added, next year
there will be an agreement in black
and white. Harrisburg people have
been good patrons to this game and
deserve fair treatment" The gen.
eral impression prevailed that the
public should have been advised OF
the change.
For three periods of the college
game on the Island Saturday, Get
tysburg upset all the dope on the
result of her battle with Bucknell
by outplaying the Lewisburg col
legians at every angle of the game.
With the beginning of the fourth
period Coach pete" Reynolds in
serted Fat" Lauster into the Buck
nell lineup for Rosenbloom, and
then the tide turned. Whether Fat"
did the trick or not, it is fact that
was apparent to more than one spec
tator, that with the entry of the
former Tech star, Gettysburg never
had a chance. 1t began to look as
if only a fluke would give either
team a score.
But just at this point Gil" Eb-
ner, last years Tech captain, pulled
off a 35-yard run and brought the
ball into n position from which
Captain Johnny" Hendren, the for
mer North East lad. kicked goal
from placement, and Bucknell look
ed a sure winner. But with the
tally, Bucknell took on new hopes
and Gettysburg began to fade. Two
touchdowns were added in quick
succession through brilliant running
by Elmer, Mangan, Hendren and
Dayhoff, of Steelton.
Interest in a Gettysburg -Bucknell
battle was never keener because of
the large number of Harrisburg lads
who were starring for the two teams.
Elmer. Lauster, Bihl and Dayhoff
played for Bucknell. while Midget"
McGann was a substitute. 1t was
the playing of the lads that brought
Bucknell its victory.
Gettysburg presented nothing
more spectacular than the line
plunging of Adam Houtz and Sam
Phillips. This pair in the Battlefield
backfield added more than one first
down in the opening of the game,
and really made the winners look as
though they were in for a defeat.
When this pair was not hitting the
line, "Vic" Emanuel was snatching
forward passes out of the air. Cap
tain Martz at center and Vic"
Emanuel opposing him had a bat
tie all of their own, that resulted in
draw 1t was a great game. The
better team won, and the work of
the Harrisburg lads did much to
eri1 local inf hof
brought 1000 people to Island Park.
