perfect. Penn was absolutely unable
to cope with the ferocious and speedy
charges of the visiting team. Pitts
burgh moved along like one man, with
a speed that was at times dazzling.

and concealed its attack so we'll Penn
never knew from which direction the
play was coming. Of course, Warner is
blessed with wonderful material this
fall, but he did the molding and is re-
sponslble for the development of that
same material.
