The Washington times., 1921-11-14

As we saw Penn State Saturday OIL
historic Franklin Field. it looked the
perfect eleven. 1t has size and speed
in the line and behind 1t. II has a
marvellous secondary defense, those
big backs simply standing the inter-
ference on their heads time and time
again. 1t has a most deceptive mode
OF attack, concealed double passes be-
ing used continually and usually with
entire success. 1t has remarkable
speed behind the line and every one
Of the backfield quartet can hit the
line for anywhere from three to fiji
teen yards. Killinger's punttng Is it,
telligent and accurate. 1t Is not too
long to be covered, either, the State
ends looming up under every kick.
Facing what Is admitted to be one
Of the strongest lines in the country,
the State backs showed plenty OF
strength in blowing through for sub
stantial gains. There always seemed
to be holes. The threatened running
toward the wings probably had much
to do with that.
In Glenn Killinger State possesses
& remarkable athlete. He Is slightly
built and preternaturally fast. Even on
Il muddy field Saturday he appeared
to pick up speed within two or three
strides. He was easily the fastest
man on the field from beginning to
end. He did the brunt OF the work
behind the State line. called the sig
nails, ran the ball through the line and
around the ends and did all the punt
ing. At the final whistle he hardly
appeared to be breathing fast.
Should Not Grieve.
1t is said that Navy folks are
grieying over the defeat Of Folwell's
team. That should not be. The
Middies played with everything they
had. They stood up to the work
handsomely. Indeed. IL this had not
been the case they never could have
come back with that grand rush in
the final period. That march up the
field from the 5-yard line to States
21-yard line was worth seeing. and,
being seen, will never be forgotten
by the big crowd.
Most prominent in the Nays Of.
Tense was little Barchet, a fine foot
ball player. He was criticised some
what for not permitting killinger's
punt to go over the line for a touch
back in that final period. But how
did he know the ball would not
was on his own 5-yard line and close
to the sideline. He seized the ball
and was thrown. 1t was then that
the Nays spectacular march began
up the field. ....
Playing around with a loose ball Is
far from being the best thing. Kill
linger did that earlier in the game,
and in it's wild bounces in the mud
the ball struck his shoe and a Navy
man fell on 1t. That gave the Navy
the ball. Luck prevented Navy from
reaping much of an advantage, but II
was Killinger's slowness In recover
ing that punt that put his team in
danger. f...
Larson Real Leader.
Captain Larson, of the Navy tearn,
showed himself a real leader. In
addition to the mechanics of his posi-.
ton. he displayed qualities of leader
ship all day. He was quick to con.
fer with the referee whenever the
occasion seemed to warrant and his
attitude was manly throughout. The
Navy should be proud of this en-
cellent athlete.
The most noticeable defensive work
by the Navy was done by Larson,
Hamilton, Parr and Taylor. Though
the Navy ends were repeatedly cir
cled by both Killinger and Lightper,
nevertheless many times the two Mid.
dies hurled the State backs for losses
or for no gains. The deceptive
double pass worried the entire Navy
eleven all through that first half and
