FEROCIOUS ATTACK OF NITTANY LIONS PROVES TOO STRONG FOR WASHINGTON HAVERFORD SOCCER GAME RESULTS IN A ONE POINT DEADLOCK Two Extra Periods Played In An Effort to Break Tie—Gaul Scores for Penn State Three successive, seasons without a defeat' This Is the record of the Penn State soccer team as it closed Its 1921 card last Saturday in Philadelphia with a tio score with tho -Haverford eleven This is the result obtained by balancing the accounts of the games included in three hard seasons for the Nittany hooters with such teams as Syracuse, Toronto, Cornell, Lehigh, and Haverford And the game lost week was a fitting climax to these con tests for It was the hardest fought and the most bitterly contested clash that ,hos been staged in soccer circles for many a year in the Bast Haverford Scores First Early Indications seemed to point to a wet field for an exceptionally heavy downpour of rain fell throughout the preceding afternoon and the early part of the night But during tho night, a wind from the north dried out the field before the morning workout of the Bluo and White squad so that by noon, only a small part of the field was in bad condition and that was near the southern goal By the time that the game was called, the wind had be come considerably stronger and blew from the north over the length of the field. , Captain Grupp lost the toss and the Haverfordians choose to defend the north goal, which ,pa v v e,thern^the ad ■vantaffe*'of “the wind. -• The first ten fContinued on 'rvt nsge) FROSH HOLD HRST HARD PRACTICE FOR SOPH GAME Sophomores Handicapped by Ab sence of Men Who Made the Trip to Seattle After Raving a rest of over three weeks, the Freshman football squad reported for practice yesterday after noon in order to get In shape for the Freshman-Sophomore scrap which will be held next Saturday About twenty five of Coach Hermann’s men reported and went through a general workout, tackling the dummy, punting, passing and going through signal drill The Frosh will spend the rest of the week in developing their endurance and in getting the stiffness out of their Umbs after so Jong a rest It la quite likely that the Freshmen will use almost the same line-up in the game next Satuiday as they used four weeks previous to that time In tho game against the Dartmouth Fresh men Coach Herman, who is also groom ing the varsity basketball candidates for their Initial game with the Juni ata quintet hss such a difficult task before him in- developing a cage team that he will be unable to carry on. the work of coaching tho Frosh for the coming Interclass contest and in his absence the work, will be In charge ot Frank Hess *23 In view of the fact that tho Frosh have been playing together all fall, very little remains'for 'them to do other than get their team in smooth running order. Tho Sophomores are still busy un der the leadership of Coach “Dick" "22. The latter Is handicapped In his work because several members of the Sophomore class, who will undoubted ly make their class team, are at the present time in tho squad which went to Seattle Some of the men who' aro on this trip will probably mako the team aro Frank, end, Crowthers, tackle; Johnson, guard, Hamilton, center, and Cornwall, fullback There is a possibility of Cornwall and Frank receiving letters for playing varsity football and if they do, they will not ]>e able to participate In Saturday's interclass scrap Sixteen men have been reporting to Coach Rauch every day and they aro all making a strong bid for tho various positions. Those men are going through general work outs similar to those In which the Freshmen are engaged in Members of the Sophomore team who went to Scattlo, will not return to State College until Thursday or Friday and thoy will bo tired from their long Journey when thoy got here. Under such conditions they will not s have had time to rest up for the scrap and will have had little less time to train so that they may fit smoothly into the working machinery of the Sophomore team. Penn State Marches Length Of Field Many Times---Killinger Finishes Gridiron Career In Glory Penn State's 1921 football season ended in u blaze of glory last Satur day afternoon at Seattle when tho fer rocious Nittany Lions invaded the lair ot th University of Washington Sun Dodgers and battered thru the west erners for a 21 to 7 victory It was a great intersectional battle, one which showed the mighty Irresistible attack of tho Bezdekian machine and one which will live in the minds of Wash ington gridiron fans for a long time to come Despite the heroic efforts of the Seattle warriors, who exhibited tho; best form they have shown during the entire season, Penn State, led by Its sensational quarterback, Killinger, pushed them back again and again and eventual]} registered three touch downs. Killinger, playing his last and great est game for the Blue and White team, stood out head and shoulders above the stellar work of other players and dis played a brand of football which caus ed Western newspapers to stamp him as the greatest back ever aeon on the Pacific Coast His remarkable line plunging, open field running, punting, bullet like forward passes, and gen eralship undermined the westerners and were directly responsible for the Nittany scores, although “Killy" him self failed to cross tho line He car ried the ball three fourths of the time and rarely foiled to gain , Nittany .Drive Irresistible 'The drivcfot'.the as"a whole was a beautiful thing to watch and was really remarkable Eight times the Blue and White tornado swept down the field from far inside its own territory to within tho shadow of the Washington goal posts, and, with a few breaks, would have roiled up a much bigger score. Seventy yards were forfeited by the Penn Staters, because of over-anxiousness, the pen alties coming at critical moments os a rule, and twice Nittany backs fum bled when a few more yards would have meant a touchdown Such re verses were almost heart breaking but the 21 point lead proved ample for an eastern vlotory. Penn State's scoring was accomplished In the first three quarters of the game, a touchdown being made in each period Knabb scored first on a short line buck, Mc- Collum tallied next after receiving a pass from Killinger, and finally Red- Ingcr crossed the goal line on a sweep ing end run. Washington pushed over Its only counter in the third period os the re sult of great work by tho Sun Dodg ers star halfback. Eckman The west erners secured tho ball on downs on Fenn State’s thlry-flve yard line, and, with Eckman as tho center of attack, gradually worked their way toward the Nittany goal. Eckman finally plung ed tho ball over In this drive, the brilliant half was a veritable whirl wind and carried the pigskin for seven consecutive plays His playing during tho afternoon was surpassed only by Killinger Liglitner Not In Fray Penn State entered the big battle minus Joe Lightner, its human batter ing ram, who sprained his ankle in practice This failed to stop the Lions though and they played with os much zest as in previous contests Rqdinger appeared at left half and filled Llghtner’s shoes ably Ho was a powerful figure In tho Blue and White attack, vleing with Wilson in yards gained Every other man on the team. In fact, put up a great game and deserves immeasurable credit. The Nittany lino held like,a stonewall with the exception of that one time when Washington scored its lone tally, the ends were fixtures and refused to be brushed aside by opposing interfer ence, and tho backs were at their best. Western critics wore astonished by tho work of tho State College ma chine.
