Siegfried Breaks First Tie
The thYd score came a few minutes
after the start of the last period, when
Siegfried, who had just relieved Hall
at fuliback, intercepted one. Of Wray's
passes at the 35-yard line and raced
away for touchdown.

Dartmouth lett half, battering his way
over the Penn goal line on cneSof his
famous hurdle smashes" after the bal!
had been pushed down to the 2yard
line. The goal was kicked and Dart
mouth led at 10. This was just after
the start Of the second period.
Penn's score came ike a bolt from
the blue for Oar mouths rooters, for
after Burke and Robertson had carried
the pigskin to penn's 35-yard line the
Quakers stifened their deferne and
Dartmouth was forced 10 try for goal
from the field, standing on her 46-yard
line. The pass as peOr, and Robert
sons attempt failed by fifteen yards.
Captain Rex Wray then hurled a brill
liant pass to Miller, the Pennss full
back.
Wards Of Eight Tacklers
The Quaker back grabbed the bali
cleanly and was eff like a streak of red
and blue lightning. There were a half
dozen Dartmouth men waiting to block
his path, but Wray, skirting danger
ously close to the boundary line at the
had planted the leather over the goal
line for a touchdown. Then the Quaker
leader kicked goal, and the battle was
an even one. Dartmouth, = Penn, T.
The interference given Wray on this
brilliant dash was remarkably good, the
Penn men picking off the Dartmouth
tackIers in succession.
Wray was playing a magnificent
game every minute he was on the field-
Not only was his running the feature
in that department of play, but his
passing was invariably beautifully ex-
ecuted. and might have added TO Penn's
total had the receivers been on par
with their leader.
Robertson and Burke were the chief
ground gamers for the Green, both
boring through the Quaker line for
frequent gains of from ten to twenty
yards. On bucking at old-fashloned
football. Dartmouth was superior. It
was only when Penn brought the pass
into play that the Quaker team seemed
to have the advantage.
Penn's Chances Dim
Penn's chances looked black indeed
e.. L. l. |.
when big Nennah Siegfried, thezregular
back, replaced Hoag. the Dartmouth
left half, and a minute later brought
gloom to thousands of Quaker hearts
by intercepting a forward pass from
Wray on Penn's 35-yard line and
lodging his way through broken field
to Dartmouth's second touchdown.
Captain Robertson kicked the goal, and
Dartmouth hearts beat high as the
score board read, Dartmouth IA, Penn
7. Then it was that little Rex Wray,
among those Of the Red and Blue foot
ball heroes past and present.
The minutes had slipred by until it
did not seem possible that another
score could be gained by the trailers-
But the Quakers were fighting des-
perately and grimlv now, mixing up
the aerial attack with the good old
smashing style of play. Steadily the
ball was borne down the field until it
rested on Dartmouth's 3S-yard line.
Then Wray called for double pass
formation Can ancient football tricky
and swept his way around left end to
the i8-yard mark The Penn and
Dartmouth stands were heaving,
surging mass of frenzied rooters.
Hold that Tne." was the Dartmouth
plea from the stands. while a steady
roar cf Score! Score! Scores" came
from the Penn mouth of the field.
Hamer tore his way through left guard
to the 7yard line, added two more on
the next slam, and little Wray
smashed off another, bringing the pig
skin TO the 4-yard mark. AT this criti-
cal stage Dartmouth was penalized for
off.'side play and the ball was placed
only two yards from Dartmouth's goal
line.
One smash at the line yielded only
scant half yard, but on the next impact
it was Wray who was catapuited over
for the touchdown To the accom- npani-
ment of frantic Quaker yells, Wray
kicked the goal, and the game was
again drawn battla. and SO 1t re-
manned to the end. The final whistle
blew with the ball in Penn's possession
