Score.

FRANKLIN FIELD, PHILA-
DELPHIA, Oct 31.-The record
books will make due note of the fact
that Illinois defeated Pennsylvania
Saturday afternoon by score of "a
TO .. However, the record books
never tell the real story.
The real story of this football game
was the story of Harold Oranges IN
PRODUCTION TO $1,000 Eastern football
fans, an introduction so sensational
that some of the boys are gasping
vet. Taking complete charge OF the
situation from the opening whistle,
Grange simply ran the Penn dcfsnse
flat-footed and. in spite of the muddy
gridiron, flashed as brightly as III
any time during his extremely flashy
career.
Ten other Illinois men started the
game with Grange in Difference 10 the
rules of football. They wore the
Illinois uniform, and executed the
Illinois plays, but it was Grange and
Grange only who dominated every
rush. He caught the ball on the
kickoff and skipped back 80 yards.
Not more than two minutes later he
slipped outside of PENIS left tackle,
reversed his field as only Grange can.
and was off for a 51-yard run and
a touchdown.
MADE THE TEAM.
This was all Illinois needed. From
that moment. the Illini was the great
est football team extant, doing every
thing perfectly, and never going
wrong.
They lined up on the next kickoff,
and cleared a path for Grange so
well that he eased through the Penn
team for Al yards and placed his
team in a position for a second
touchdown. which was not long in
coming. As in tt Michigan game
last year, all of this was first period
stuff. Grange and the Illini simply
hit them first and explained after
ward, if at all.
Grange institution, coming at the end
of a series of off-tackle runs by this
Red" Grange-the greatest Of all
stars.
The fourth touchdown was also Of
Oranges making, the well-known
young man catching a forward pass
and stepping &c yards for the score.
The distance. as matter of record.
represented the total yardage gained
by the entire Penn team in the first
half. But more of that anon.
1t was quite a play, at that. on
which Grange made his third touch
down of the day. Stymied by the
Penn defense. Britton dropped back
TO the 26-yard line for an ostensible
placement. Instead, he waited q
quick pass to Kassel. the latter wheel
ed and looped the ball over his head
like a basketball player, and then
Grange bodied up from nowhere 10 re-
ceive the pass on the dead run. brush
off two Penn defenders and dash on
over the goal.
This was Illinois last gesture, but
they never ceased to rub il in. As
the game went into the fourth period,
Bob Zuppke rushed in SO many sub
stitutions that he finally had his
fourth team in.
Penn liked all this not at all. As a
matter Of fact, there was little for
Penn 10 like about the entire occasion.
Never once, for example, did it have
possession of the ball inside of Hi
nois' 40-yard line. Never once did
the so-called Penn attack 20 as far
as to become threatening. It's only
score was a gratuity. 1t came as a
result of a smart play on which Rog-
ers punted to the two-yard line. and
Singer of Penn covered the ball. This
passed the buck 10 the Illinois. very
neatly, and just as neatly the Illini
failed TO get away with il. Sensing q
break. Lou Young hurried Sieracki
into the lineup, and the young man
paid immediate dividends by crash
ing through and blocking Britton's at
tempted punt from behind the goal
line.
Britton hurriedly fell on the ball for
n safety. 1t was PENIS sole gesture
of the game.
PENIS total gains for the day was
less than 300 yards. Grange, in per
son positively not a movie), gained
1871 yards. That tells the story Of
this football game, If such you wish
10 call it. And row Penn isn't un-
defeated any more.
