tackled poorly, but they were tack
ling hard, fast runners who knew
how to pick openings and how to
hold their feet. There is more to
the credit of Penn States attack
than there is to the discredit of
Georgia Techs defense, as Harvard
will gladly testify. AS the two
teams reached the field the size of
the crowd was a remarkable tribute
to the game. Neither was a home
team, and there were $4,000 people
on hand as Penn State kicked and
Tech back surged up the field for
20 yards. The two student bands
opened a musical duel of note leaV-
ing the air rife with the blend of
many instruments that at times
outsounded the cheering.
After a 5-yard gain, Harlan, of
Tech, fumbled on his own 3O-yard
line leaving Penn State in easy
striking distance of the goal Three
State rushes and a try at goal
failed with the Tech defense hold
ing well. Then from his 20-yard
line Red Barron broke through for
IL yards, as Tech punted a moment
later to States 25-yard line. Once
again State failed to make a first
down, and was forced to kick. On
this occasion, starting from mid
field, the Tech attack, led by Barron
and Harlan, knitted or hammered its
way across the line. a swift work.

line.
Ferst's Tackling Features.
Killinger's S5-yard dash followed
Barron's touchdown, so they were
even again.
On the next KICKOFF Barron re-
turned rs yards but Tech was
forced to kick. Killinger, tackled
fiercely by Ferst, whose defensive
play was one of the big features
OF the day, dropped the ball and
Tech recovered on States 33-yard
line. Here, with 7 yards, to go on
the fourth down, Tech displayed
wretched generalship by trying a
running play that failed to make
the distance. 1t was no place for
any such tactics on the final down.
1t was precisely at this point that
States offense took on new steam
and Techs defense crumbled away.
For on the first play Killinger ran
20 yards outside of tackle for
States first down. Killinger, Will
son and Lightner thea worked the
ball along to Techs 7-yard line,
where a penalty for holding gave
the Southerners a breathing spell.
Tech. tried a forward pass from
back of her goal line but the rum
ner moving to receive the pass was
tripped in the open and the penalty
was promptly applied. But Tech
had to kick again and once more
Killinger and Co. got under way
with Killinger plunging over for
the second touchdown. The yell
low Jackets had never looked quite
the same after that S5-yard dash
that tied up the game.
States Passing Brilliant.
Shortly after the third period
opened Wilson, another star, ran 20
yards through the line, reach ,ng al
most open country as Ferst again
hauled him down. A forward pass
near Techs goal line failed but her
kick out of danger was carried by
Killinger back to the 24-yard line.
where two-line- plays and another
pass from KiHinger to Leightner
placed the ball on the .Georgians'
I0-yard line. This time L,ghtner
drove through for The score.
The fourth period started with
Penn State leading 81 to I. After
a short whirl Wilson on a double
pass rushed rs yards before he was
nailed and a moment later he added
IL more. Four line plays then took
the ball across for the fourth and
final touchdown with Killinger
again diving over the line.
The closing feature of the battle
was two remarkable passes OF IS
and 80 yards from Killinger to Nc
Collum with the latter in each case
hauling the ball down after a tail
leap over surrounding foemen. These
two plays were among5the main fea-
lures of the day although neither
led to any further scoring.
Tech Defense Disappointed.
The game was marked by hard.

necessary roughness. The spirit be-
