Finol-HuIf Scoring
Gives Philadelphia
Team First Beating
BY WALTER McCALLUM,

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 6.-Navv
carried too many guns for University
of Pennsylvania today and sank the
undefeated Quakers at
Franklin Field, "a to 7. The vic
tory brought unadulterated Joy to
supporters among the
71615 spectators. for last Saturday
the same Pennsylvania team had
held Army to 1913 tie.
Striking through the air and on
the ground with Harold Hamberg,
l50-pound 21-year-old back from
Lebanon, Pa, the sparkplug of the
attack, Navy scored in three of the
four periods. although Penn with a
41-yard runback of an intercepted
pass by Halfback Bobby Odell and
Joe McKernan's conversion led at
half-time, 7-6.
Navy won the game in all de-
partments, outrushing Penn 282
yards to II and outgaining it in
passing, 50 yards to 90. Navy clearly
was the better team today as its
forwards rushed Penn passers and
broke up the Penn running attack
with sharp, crashing tackles.
Finos Scores Twice.
Victor Finos, Navy back, had
field day in running attack. scoring
two touchdoWns but was a flop as
a placement kicker after touchdown.
His score for the day was 0 for 4
as one attempt was partially blocked
and three others were wide of the
goal posts.
The best running back on the field
was Navys 20-year-Old Bob Jenkins
from Talledega. Ala, who late in
the game broke through for success
sive gains Of 8, g, 7, 9, 25 and Is
yards.
Navy gained 18 first downs. 16 by
rushing, while Penn made only
three all afternoon, one by the
penalty route.
Navy quickly demonstrated its
superiority. scoring in the first 10
minutes when Finos, Hamberg and
End A B. Channel collaborated
in a 58-yard march TO the Penn
from where Finos bucked over.
The kick after touchdown was
partially blocked by Quillen, Penn
left end.
Eight minutes into the second
quarter with play swaying back and
forth between the 2O-yard lines,
Hamberg faded back to his 80 to
! toss a pass intended for Stewart
Nelson. 1t fell squarely into the
outstretched hands of Odell. who
lodged and ran Al yards across the
Navy goal. McKernan's try for the
extra point put Penn in front.
Navy Regains Lead.
Navy came back in the third quar-
ter. Sparked by Hamberg, who
