check by the superior Bear defense

period, gained by the margin of goal
kicked after touchdown.

first half and the crowd had hardly
settled itself when LON electrified the
onlookers by dashing back IS yards with
the opening Pennsylvania kickoff.

slashed over the remaining IS yards to
the goal line, the latter making the
score. Breckett's try for point was
blocked.

turing CALIFORNIA; kick off. The

trating to the Bear 32-yard line, but
Lom's punt was blocked moment later

sylvania end, on the opposing 18-yard
line. Here the Pennsylvania backs
functioned beautifully, two lateral
passes, Gentle to Masters, putting the
ball over for a touchdown. Masters

curate passing produced the score.

toss from Lom and fall across the
last line. This time Stan Barr missed
the try for the extra point.

parade of the game early in the final
quarter, taking the ball 70 yards to
Pennsylvania three-yard line in 10
plays. featuring short passes from Lom
to Eisan. The Bears had a first down
on Pennsylvania's seven-yard mark, but
