STATE COLLEGIANS
: TRAIL PENN COLORS


went wild and clambered their request
for touchdown.
But State was still there with that
stubborn defence, and the heaviest as
saults at Penn's command availed moth
ing. Derr got few feet on a line plunge
and a short pass netted three yards.
Bell took another chance on an aerial
attack, and Light launched heave
toward Wray Miller. But Haines loped
through and snagged II and was downed
on his 10 yard line. Way, famed for his
speed and agility. ripped past Penn's
right flank for eighteen yards.
He lodged and danced like water
bug. but the wet ground was too much
for him. This assault against the Penn
defence proved spasmodic and Canoyer
was forced to punt. II was the same
story for Penn. and Drummer shot long
spiral to Way. who was toppled on his
25 yard line. Robb dashed through
tackle for four yards, but Beck failed
and Way could get but two. Higgins
took up the burden with his toe, and
from his effo~t resulted the turning point
in the game.
Brunner was waiting for the punt
about his own 10 yard line, but the
slippery ball eluded him. There was an
avalanche Of blue clad players on top Of
him and a mad scramble for the ball en-
sued. Conover, who had hustled along
down the field after the punt, came up
in time to seize and possess himself Of
the oval. He was a scant two yards
from the line free from the grasp Of the
opposition, but when he wriggled across
the line the ball was brought back.
Battle Near Goal Line.
Then ensued a terrific battle with the
goal but two yards away. Way tried to
squirm through tackle, but failed. Robb
got yard into the line and Way again
failed to get over. On the fourth down
with less than a yard to go Robb
jammed himself between Penns left
flank for the remaining distance to a
touchdown. Higgins kicked out to Way
and Conover booted goal. e
State had been negotiating Ray Mil
ler's flank too well to suit Penn coaches
starting the second half. Pearce, who
had substituted in PENIS backheld ear
lier, made a nice sprint in returning
the kickoff, and line attacks gave the
Red and Blue frst down Rut the
muddy condition of the field and the
slippery ball was beginning to tell by
now and play was slowed down. The
game resulted in a puntlng duel
Bells punting was bad at this stage.
He lifted one out OF bounds on his
20 yard line. Way slipped through for
nine yards and Robb made It first down
on the third try. A pass from Robb
to Higgins got yards. After another
futile attempt to rush, Cubbage missed
a try for goal from the. 25 yard line.
An exchange of kicks left the ball in
Penns hands on her 3S yard line as
the period ended.
A bad pass lost 3 yards for Penn
81. ~I.., =
having trouble in handling the ball.
Robb chased back to his As yard line
with Brunner's punt. He heaved nice
pass to Higgins bit later and the
Captain was hauled down on his 20 yard
line. Efforts to rush failed and Conover
stepped back for try at placement.
Fem charged savagely to break up the
play but failed, the ball sailing squarely
between the posts for an additional 8
points.
Penn Higgins to Rush.
Folwell began rushing in his reserves
shortly after the ensuing kickoff. Ray
came In evidently with instructions to
open things up and take every chance
possible. But State was too wary.
Bezdek's charges covered the opposition
rellgiously and passes availed nothing
Light tore through for fifteen yards on
one sprint and State drew two penalties
during the period for unnecessarily de-
laying things.
But Penn's march was interrupted by
Rauch breaking through and mailing
Ray for a seven yard loss. Penn punted
to States IL yard line and on the next
kplay State fumbled. but recovered on the
g yard line. Pearce ran States punt
back to the 22 yard line, but Haines
stalled of the charge when he inter-
cepted a pass and ran to midfeld. He
fumbled and Penn recovered. but the
Red and Blues last charge had been
made.
Penn was forced to kick and State de-
cided to hold the bail as long as possi-
BILE. Robb ripped through for eighteen
yards, driving over Penn's left wing.
Short gains carried the ball we'll into
Penn's territory, when Higgins made a
short punt. 1t was almost dark at this
period and Penn Guy loose with her final
desperate aerial attacks. but none sue
ceeded. The lineup:
