Arguments fly thick and fast.
Strangely, perhaps, all arguments
revolve around the incident at the
close of the game, when Ed Fielder
kicked a field-goal from placement
which did not count for Penn,
while not one involves the episode
which probably took a touchdown
away from Georgetown.
After Fielden's field goal had
been nullified, the field telephone

dered why a 5-yard penalty was
meted out to Penn instead of the
usual Is for such an offense,
Several Scrihes in the press box
asked about this matter, and the
information came back up:
THE officials now say that
the penalty of five yards is for
delay of the game by Penn be-
cause Penn had a twelfth man
on the field of play"
A few moments later, the field.

box:
1.-THE officials now say that
the penalty of five yards is for
an extra time out for Penn"
Take your choice. The facts OF
the whole episode appear to be
these:
1. Officials Of the game called
the wrong down, insisting to
Penn players it was fourth down
when actually it was only third
down.
2. Hartman sent in one substi

EASTERN SEEKS
GRID LOOP LEAD

Eastern High hopes to get in an
important victory today in the In
terhigh Football series when it
meets the Roosevelt High eleven
at the Eastern Stadium at $3.50
The Lincoln Parkers are now
tied with Tech for first place, but
a triumph today will zoom the
team into first place again.
Chances for an Eastern victory
are bright, if past performances
of the Boyd-coached eleven can be
taken as an indication.
The team, thus far has looked
particularly strong what with Bill
Kemp and Al Kidwell leading the
way in the backfield, not to men
ton Hal Speith and Bill O'Brien,
always in the background.
Roosevelt, although beaten by
Central, 6 to 0, in its last game,
still rates as a threat. At least
it's hopes are still high that a bet
ter than second division" showing
will be made before the series is
ended.
Yankee LandbuSh and Harold
Marks are the Riders big timers.
Both are backs. Eddie Vasvary
and Bud Kolker, on line, are others
of note. The team is in dire need
of a good punter, however. But
then, maybe, other breaks will
come it's way today.

Penn goal-line for the try.for-point
after touchdown. It is known
that members Of the Penn team
told Georgetown players they
thought it was a touchdown.
However, what now Is called the
"prize boner" of these past several
years of football, apparently is
more interesting for the argumen-
tative than the play which prob
ably took a touchdown away from
Georgetown.
Why? Because there are many
people in Philadelphia who would

NOT sound BEFORE the field
goal effort of Fielden, although
the horns, whistles and what-notS
of other officials were in Gre
scendo, and each official except
D. w. Very, referee, seemed to
have 10 arms and 10 hands, all
of which they were waving with
mucho gusto. The referees whistle
is the important noise in foot
ball game and the one which
stops play whether blown inten-
tionally or Internationally.
5. Several Georgetown players
who noted the wild waving Of Of
ficials' arms and hands, and the
footing of horns, made no effort
to charge in to block Fielden's try
for goal.
6. Several Penn players, who
also noted activities on the part
of at least two Of the officials,
merely stood in place as Center
O'Nein snapped the ball for Fiel-
den's field-goal try.
Cd Whether the subsequent pen
atty was for delay of the game or
because of an extra time out for
Penn, the fact is that the twelfth
man on the field was the direct
cause of creating the whole Situa-
ton.
HARMON ON SPOT
Coach Harvey Harmon certainly
is on the spot. His situation is
aggravated by the fact that a
former Penn player and coach
writes for a Philadelphia newspa-
per and constantly harps along
these lines:
"Penn's team is the worst
coached team I ever saw" etc.,
etc., etc., ad infinitum.
AS for Georgetown's probable
loss of a touchdown, this episode
came in the second quarter when
Penn was given the ball on downs
with the front point of the ball
one inch from the Penn goal line.
Several Penn players actually
thought it was a Georgetown
touchdown, that Mellendick had
carried the ball across the Penn
goal-line for Georgetown. Indeed
