SCRLBES OUTTALK PENN
MANAGERS IN WEIRD GAME
Shades OF Former Red and Blue Stars Shiuer Experts
Sho,U How Football Should Not Be Played

Spick Halls battling Scribes took
over the Penn managers ON Franklin
Field this morning by the score of 10.
The list of injured follows:
s. Hall. J. Labrum, Il. Kaufman.
Young, Pollard, Bates, Mace, Nc
Carthy. Paul. Stevenson, and some fif-
teen unidentified.
The game was the greatest played
on Franklin Field-this morning. 1t
was fiercely argued from the first
whistle to the last.
Old fashioned football, most of IL
from before the Civil War. featured the
play, although this was varied. BY the
introduction of the most modern plays.
Jack keough, who refereed the contest,
cut out most of the futuristic football,
but he couldn't stop the boys from run
mining zigzar. 1t seemed like a habit
to many of them.
The Gentleman From Vanderbilt
Spick Hall, former Vanderbilt Col
ege (three J. star, was the luminary Of
the contest. He admitted it loudly and
frequently. He got an immense hand
from the crowd when he trotted out on
the field in pair Of shoulder guards
that would have been just bit loose
on Tiny" Maxwell. Every time
Spick breathed it looked as though he
was flying and this system of aerial
attack is thought to have confused the
opposition considerably.
The Scribes had little trouble get
ting enough men to start. but this
trouble was soon remedied and by the
beginning Of the second half they had
thirteen men on the field. About every
third play Jack Keough would stop the
action and count both teams carefully
In this way he was able to limit the
contestants at any one time to about 81.
The game and Spick Hall started
with a bang. The lank and dashing
fuliback received the kickoff and car
ried it back 20 yards before he crashed
to earth. He fooled everybody and got
up again in few minutes. and on the
next play. a fake forward pass, he
reeled off twenty more yards around
left end. but toward his own goal. This
he explained, was to fool the opposition
1t did. After that he quit reeling. and
didn't carry the ball again throughout
the game. Whether this was done tC
save his splendid wind or to give the
other team chance. caused great
deal of comment among the crowd.
