- 24.-Pennsylvania's high
4 voltage foot ball machine,
striking swiftly and with deadly
precision served notice on Its
Eastern contemporaries today by
defeating a powerful Wisconsin
team, ~ to Is, before $4,000 spec
tators at Franklin Field.
Favored beforehand to take beat
ing from the Western eleven, which
last week was strong enough to humble
Purdue. the alert Red and Blue team
completely turned the tables, scoring
at times with ridiculous ease and run
ming up a 27-to-0 score before the
Badgers collected themselves to gain
two touchdowns late in the contest.
sAll four of PENIS touchdowns came
swiftly, Unexpectedly, two OF them on
brilliant runs from midfield by Carl
Perina, big fullback, and Jerry Ford,
reserve halfback. The other two re-
suited directly from the alert play OF
the Penn forwards, who recovered
tumble and q blocked punt deep In Wis
consin territory. The Red and Blue at
no time wasted its energy trying to
make q sustained drive down the field.
1t was not necessary as long as Wis
consin was fumbling every few minutes.
If there was any solace to be gained
by Wisconsin It lay in the fact that
its hard-running backs, led by Russ
Rebholz. piled up IL first downs to 3
for Penn. The winners, however,
gained 1876 yards from scrimmage, COM
pared to 1876 for Wisconsin. The losers
gained 81 yards on four passes, two
OF which led directly to their touch
downs.
Perina's Punts Help.
Sadly outclassed in their punting de-
partment, where Rebholz couldn't
match the long spirals Of Perina, Wis
conein found itself ut q disadvantage
ali the way, forced to start all Of its
drives deep in its own territory. The
Badgers time and again plugged along
TO midfield or beyond, but until late
TO the air. they begged down before
they could get within scoring distance.
Penn, taking advantage Of the breaks
that gave It the ball in Wisconsin ter
ritory, was able to run up the score
with quick thrusts at its opponents
goal line.
Perina gave the Red and Blue its
first touchdown midway OF the opening
period when he shot his 205 pounds off
tackle, shook on pair who hoped 70
down him and raced 43 yards down the
sideline.
A tumble by Rebholz OF one Of Per-
ana's punts Just before the first period
ended gave Penn an opportunity to
score its second. The ball was gobbled
up bv George Munger, Penn halfbeck,
on Wisconsin's 20-yard stripe and it
was only matter Of three plays until
Munger passed to Onderdonk for the
touchdown.
Ford Makes 51-Yard Run.
Ford brcke through the center of the
Bsdgers' line to romp 81 wards for ar
other score q minute before the half
ended. Colehower, big right tackle, con-
tributed the winners final touchdown
in the third period, when he blocked
Rebholtz's punt on the Badgers 20
yard line, caught 1t on the first bounce
and trotted across the goal line.
It was not until then, when 1t found
atself trailing hopelessly that Wiscon-
sins fighting eleven decided TO- make
contest Of It. Starting from their own
95-yard line, the Western huskies forged
straight down the grass for rs yards
and Q touchdown. A S0-yard pass from
SCHNEIDER to Schiller put the ball in
scoring position on PENIS one-foot line.
