Y. M. |. CADETS
TROUNCE PENN
Leech's Brilliant Playing
Features 27-to-7 Victory
Over Heisman S Eleven.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-Virginia
Military Institute dropped a bomb
in Penn's camp here this afternoon
when she decisively defeated Heis-
mans eleven by a score of 81 to Z.
1t was Penn's first defeat of the,
season and the first time she was
scored upon.
The Flying Cadets" scored early
Farrell. Penn's halfback. used poor
judgment when he caught Leech's
punt on his own one-yard line, and
Penn was forced to kick from be-
hind it's own goal line. The ball
was then put, into play on Penn's
thirty-yard line, where Leech ran
thirty yards for the first touchdown
on trick formation. Leech kicked
goal.
The Cadets pulled a surprise play
when Leech caught the ball on his
ten-yard line and while apparently
making a bee-line down the field,
suddenly wheeled and made a criss-
cross to Bunting who dashed to
Penn's thirty-yard line. On wide
open formation Bunting forward
passed to Leech who made a gain
of fifteen yards. On straight line
play Wilson then carried the ball
for Virginia's second touchdown.
In the second quarter the Cadets
again scored on wide-open forward
pass formation. Leech threw the
ball to Bunting, who carried it
over for the third touchdown.
Leech kicked goal.
Penn made her only score at the
beginning of the second half, when
she recovered her own kickoff on
an onside. A forward pass from
Wrex Wray to Pos Miller resulted
in a touchdown. Strauss kicked
goal.
Virginia scored in this period
with the same forward pass for
nation that had been used effec-
lively in the first and second quar-
ters. Stewart took the ball over
on an open forward pass. Leech
kicked goal.
The playing OF Leech was the
best offensive work that had been
seen on Franklin Field in years.
From any position he would either
run, forward pass or kick the goal.
His strategy was remarkable, and
responsible for the big score the
Southerners piled up against Penn
Leech's work kept Heisman's men
on the defensive most of the time
Strauss, Penn star. until forced out
of the game in the last period,

There never was a moment out
side of the early part of the first
period when the Mountaineers were
at all dangerous. Never once did
they get a chance to score and the
nearest they came to the Yale goal
line was the thirty-five-yard mark.
The attack of the Ellis, led by
Kempton and Kelly, could not be
stopped, this pair making runs Of
25 and 80 yards frequently. The
much Yaunted strength of the
Mountaineers failed to show after
Carl Beck, their brilliant half back,
was knocked out. With his going
went the hopes of West Virginia
The morale of the team was liter
ally shot to pieces after he was
taken out just before close of the
first quarter. Lay, the Yale substi-
tute half back, jumped heavily on
Beck as he Law on the ground fol-
lowing a buck through tackle and
the act finished the West Virginian.
From then on the Mountaineers
played like an overgrown high
school team. They tried the forward
pass sixteen times with practically
no results and efforts to puncture
the line by straight football meth
DDS were absolutely futile. Yale, on
the other hand, was brilliant in
every department.
Murphy kicked an easy goal from
the field in the first quarter. In the
second quarter Frank Kelly raced
through the right side of the West
Virginia line for a touchdown, COW
ering IS yards. 1t was brilliant
run
Yale scored two more touchdowns
in the third quarter. Frank Kelly
caught the West Virginia kickoff on
his ten-yard line and lodged his
way up the field to West Virginia s
35-yard line. Kempton shot a long
forward pass to Kelly and he was
forced out of bounds two yards from
the goal line. After two plunges
Peterson took it over. A few mo-
ments later Kempton scored another
touchdown on a plunge through
center. The lineup:
