Harvey was injured later in Tie game
and Rex Wray came in. Wray and
Pos Miller are small, but they played
fine football. On the defense they didn't
miss tackle. and several times Var
nall had clear field but for one or the
other of these hard -tackling little
backs.
Another feature of Pennsylvania s
play was the fine work of her ends.
Bill Grave. who played left end for the
Red and Blue, played superb football.
He was down under the punts like
flash, and his deadly tacking reminded
one of the fierce defensive work Of

at the other end. but was replaced
early by Crawford. The latter played

of inches only. Quarterback Lowe
showed the Blue some of the best punts

was not altogether as good as Coach
Roper wished. The backs. particularly
Sheercr and Louric played well, but the
line at times showed signs of weak

to Princeton goal to actually threaten
touchdown. but they were able to
break through the Tiger forwards on
several occasions.
Valparaiso, the eleven from Indiana
