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.
