open field tackling, and Rex wray. who
took Haryey's play, stopped Lafayette
player who had cleared the secondary
defense.
Mike Whitehill is getting better each
week at the punting game. and his boot :
ing against Lafayette was excellent. He
outpunted Brennan more than five wards
on the average. His forward passing,
too. was good, and, by the way, It was
while making one of these that he was
roughed up so badly that he had to
leave the game. DIR. Light stated nfter
making an examination that Mike was
not seriously hurt.
Carl Thomas Out
Pennsylvania was lucky to win from
Lafayette, but this good fortune was
offset by the injury to Carl Thomas,
who Will be out Of the game for .sev-
eral weeks. He had one Of his shoulders
dislocated. This accident was rather
unique because Thomas was acting cap
tain, Bud Hopper, the regular leader,
having received the same kind of an
injury in the first game of the season.
Fortunately, Hopper is nearly ready
to get back in the game. He may get
in for few minutes against the Vir-
ginia Military Institute next Saturday,
but 1t isn't likely that he will play long
because the coaches don't want to take
any chances Of losing his services in the
big games to come. Hopper will be
badly needed in all Of the large con-
tests. Erstrevaag is to be congratulated
on the fine game he played at right end.
1t was the first varsity game in which
he had ever participated and he showed
lot of stuff, but at that he is still a
good deal from being a Bud Hopper.
Erstrevaag was taken out late in the
game and Gruenawalt took his place.
This rangy athlete made several good
tackles, mailing the punt receiver in his
tracks. But he, too, lacks experience.
On the other wing, Bill Grave Is able to
handle the job in good style, and he did
1t Saturday.
Lafayette's Offense Good
Lafayette's followers came down
based their belief and hope on theMaroon
lieving that the team would win. They
based their belief and hope on the Ma
offense, and they weren't far wrong.
They were not sure Of winning, how
ever, and they did not demand odds
in the betting. As 1t turned out, II there
were any odds to be given, it should
have been the other way, because there
is no denying the fact that the visitors
did outplay Pennsylvania. 1t cannot
be truthfully said that the Eastonians
should have won, because they had their
fensive blow that would have meant
victory; but it cannot be said that
Pennsylvania really deserved TO win.
They didn't, because Lafayette was
much the superior team on the often
sive and showed it throughout the game.
If Pennsylvania had not had good luck
the game would have been a scoreless
tie.
In Brennan, Lafayette has real
quarterback. He weighs $50 pounds, In
fast, runs the ends we'll, punts fairly
we'll, can forward pass and handles the
backfeld defensive position in excel
lent style. He is the biggest quarter
back that has appeared on Franklin
Field in years. 1t wasn't Brennan's
fault that the forward passes were not
completed. He made the tosses all
light, but the Red and Blue backs were
100 clever for the Lafayette receivers.
The other backs ON the Lafayette
team, Seasholtz, Gazella and Lehccka,
showed that they had lot Of ability.
Before the game there was some uncer-
tainty as to whether Achroyd or Sea-
sHoi'N Wouiu START Ut IullDdCk 1Or the
Maroon and White team. Seasholtzs 8
work proved that in selecting him no
mistake was made, although Achroyd
played very well when he got in near
the close Of the contest. Kearney, the
back, who replaced Gazella, played
brilliant football while he was in. OF
course. he was able to make better
showing than he otherwise would have
made because he went In fresh among
twenty one very weary athletes.
