Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-10-25

I This winning play came early in the
| first period after two previous Penn
threats had fallen short and with the
| ball in Quaker hands around Chicago's
! 40-yard line. Stepping back close to
| mid-feld. Rogers heaved the soggy
ball fully % yards TO Thayer. who
| grabbed It on the run and then sped
mark, lodging two would-be tacklers
easily on his way TO the goal. Al
Kruez kicked the extra point with
a placement shot and Penn had the
| margin which she held intact for the
remainder of the game.
From that point on TO the final
| whistle ii was a bitter struggle, with
Chicago ffghtng to overcome or at
| least tie her rivals lead, while the
Quakers put up equally as sturdy a
battle to maintain their advantage.
Back and forth in the quagmire the
two teams struggled. with advantages
shifting with lightning rapidity as
tumble, intercepted pass or other
breaks" turned the tide, but each
eleven found a stonewan defense when
in the shadow Of their opponents
goal posts.
Four times Chicago's attack, led
| by the famous "Five-Yard" McCarty,
was stopped inside PENIS 20-yard
line. while on three other occasions
the Westerners checked their foes
when 1t seemed the Quakers would
break through and add to their score.
Rallying after PENIS touchdown,
Chicago launched a counter drive
toward the close Of the first period
| that put the ball on PENIS 1o-yard
| line after HobScheid, Maroon tackle,
had recovered a tumble by Kruez, but
here the Quakers held firm and re.
covered ThR hall on downs
Again in the second period Chicago
penetrated to PENIS 13-yard mark,
aided by 25-yard forward pass from
McCarty to Drain, but once more
| Penn held for downs.
The third and most promising Chi
cago opportunity came in the third
| quarter when Timme recovered a
| tumble by Quarterback Leith on
Penn 21yard line. Drain and Tfn1me
| advanced the ball to the Quaker IL
yard mark, but PENIS defense yielded
| only a yard in the next four plays
| and the ball was lost on downs.
Penn Continues Threats.
| That was the Westerners' last big
| chance. and 1t took all their defensive
| brilliance to keep their rivals from
Scoring again in the last two periods.
| In the third two successive fumbles
\
gave Penn the ball on the Maroons'
15-yard line. Douglass led a success
sion of charges that netted yards,
but Chicago then held firm, and Kruez
dropped back to try place kick, only
to have it go wild from the 20-yard
line.
This was the third and last OF
kruez's tries for field goals. He hit
the uprights in the first period on his
first attempt, a drop-kick from the
| 25-yard line. while in the second pc
Rod his place kick from the 45-yard
mark was short.
Chicagos last stand. in the fourth
period, was made on her own 17-yard
line, where the ball was regained on
downs after Kruez had intercepted q
| forward pass and. with Douglass, bat
tered his way about 80 yards
KrueZ, chiefly responsible for PENIS
triumphS over Brown and Yale in the
past few weeks, again was the main
weapon Of the Quaker attack. al
though his kicking, due to the slip
perry condition of the ball, was not as
effective as usual.
PENIS superiority on the attack
was evidenced by the fact that the
Quakers scored II first downs, as COM
pared with Z for Chicago. and
gained all together about twice as
much ground. The Westerners also
were less successful at forward pass
ing, completing only out OF l.
heaves, for a total of so yards, while
Penn completed = out Of s, for a
total of As yards.
