With the exception Of three short
runs. the longest of which was for
seventeen yards, by Alabama, the
game was devoid of features Both
teams punted often without ap-
precia BILE advantage. Tech tried the

it fell harmlessly.

came mainly in middle ground. AL

stopped the attack on their own B.

A Penn State tumble captured by
Capt. MacRae of the Orange team on
the Nittany 15-yard line, gave SYRIA
cuse it's second chance to strike, IN
the second period. After the Orange
eleven had made one first down, Penn
State held firmly and MacBride was
called upon to attempt a placement

his fourth successful field goal of the
season.
Although the state tumble was
directly responsible for the chance
Syracuse converted into the field goal,
