Brooks a great punter If there

proper play was to kick immed.
lately. Instead, a tricky double
pass was ordered, and PENIS
forwards broke through, messed up
the play and recovered the ball
when there was no one to take it.
A march then ensued which
enabled the Penn team to place
the ball on the 4-yard line for a

Georgetown threw the Penn run

That is not true. 1t was simply
a case of a fighting coach instilling

That was about all Georgetown had.

for that kick.

Sheehan tackled McGraw so
hard and so often that even that
