Attack Makes Contest Spectacular

frantic clutch after another until he had
reached the sideline thirty yards from
the goal. The rest was simple
AS the game advanced Dartmouth
found increasing difficulty in ploughing
through Penn's line and time and again
was forced to punt on the last down.
Burke's injury was costly. The Dart
mouth attack did not look az powerful
once he had to leave the game in the
third period. Penn. too could not gain
consistently through the line or around
end, but Wray's elusive running back
of kicks. his speed on end runs and the
general excellence of the aerial attacs
kept the Red and Blue in the running.
The first attack that was sustained
for any length Of time came three NM
utes after the opening of the game,
when Dartmouth. starting from It's 10
yard line. advanced seventy yards. Dur
ing the march Dartmouth was penalzed
twice for an Illegal shift Burke's
plunges through the line and Robert
sons swift runs off tackle forced the
Penn line back, however. On the 70
yard line the Quaker resistance stiff
fened and after two plays had been
thrown for losses Robertson tried a for
ward pass that Dern intercepted. Penn
was soon forced to yield the ball again.

gain through the line. On a series of
line piunges and two delayed pass plays
the Green advanced again, but once
beyond rnidfield was halted.
After Robertson had kicked over tho
goal line Penn put the ball in play on
the 20-yard line and punted on the sec-
ond play Three first downs in success
sion brought the ball to the Penn 22-yard
line, when the period ended.
The First score.
On a delayed pass Robertson gained
II yards when play was resumed. Burke
then made it first down again on PENIS
yard line and Robertson was cata-
pulted over for the first touchdown. He
kicked goal. On the next kickoff Wray
ran the ball back in scintillatng style
to the 35 yard line. but Penn could ac-
compllsh little and was forced to kick.
again the attack broke down and Rob
ertson tried a field goal from the 43
yard line that went wide of the mark.
PENIS first touchdown came on the
second play following. After Hamer had
hit centre for 6 yards, Wray called for a
forward pass, and heaved it to Miller,
who shook off tacklers and raced 60
yards to the Dartmouth goal. Wray
kicked goal and the score was tied.
There was no further scoring in the
half, neither side being able TO sustain
its attack. Once Dartmouth fumbled at
midfield and Wray followed with run
around left end for 10 yards. Pos Miller
added off tackle and then Wray broke
away again for yards. But there
the threat vanished. Failing to make
any Roadway, Penn tried n field goal,
but Smullin's attempt proved failure.

mouths 10 yard line. Dartmouth, too.
failed to gain. and after Robertson had
punted to Penn's AZ yard line the half
ended.
Although the third period produced
no score It was marked by the hardest
playing and the most desperate tackling
Of the game. Time out had to be taken
time and again after players had been
hurt and there were frequent penalties
for offside. Just before he had to retir e
from the game Burke pioughed through
PENIS line for twenty-five yards, ana
then Il pass from Robertson to Gordon
retted fifteen more yards, but on the
next play Miller intercepted u forward
pass. Penn made two first downs on
passes and then lost the ball on'downs
