Here's a Record
in Football Hard
to Be Duplicated

One local man helped to down
Pitt the last time the Noun
taineers gained a victory over
the Pittsburghers in 1903. That
man is N. Z. Morgan, and he is
justly proud OF having had a
part in that great contest. Mr..
Morgan was telling OF another
wonderful game last night, the
Grove City-Mountaineer game OF
1902, when in the last five min,
utes OF play a West Virginia
player, Kenna. kicked three field
goals and picked up a tumble
and ran for a touchdown. The
goals were kicked from the for.
sty, fifty and flfty.flve yard lines,
while on the tumble 1ienna ran
practically tile length OF the
field.
