Boal, Letter from H. W. Potter. Harry W. Potter, son of J. T. Pot- ter, of Centre Hall, who resides at Bdmonds, Washington, witnessed the Penn State- Washington University football game, played at Seattle, Wash, a short time ago. Mr. Potter says this about the game: “Saw the game and enjoyed It very much, although everyone was expbot- ing a slaughter by Penn State. I was disappointed mysel that they did not accomplish more, and even leaving Washington score. Washington is a weak team, not baving won a confers ence game this season, The write ups in the papers I am sending you give a very good account, and not a partial account of the game. The Post Intel- ligencer was not so impartial. As you will note by the chart, Penn State really outclassed Washington more than the score shows. Washington was much, very much, outkicked, and as one writer says, played poor football several times by losing the ball on ‘the fourth down instead of kicking. \ H.
